Corrina Nicholson reviewed: One day fused glass course at North Norfolk Stained Glass

"Had such a super day with Paul and Natalie and would thoroughly recommend this one day fused glass course. We were in a lovely setting in rural North Norfolk (and were provided with excellent instructions on how to find the venue) and the workspace was set out well with plenty of space for the three of us attending the course. The day started with Paul teaching us about the different types of glass and how to cut glass safely and properly starting with straight cuts and moving on to curved cuts which we were able to practice to ensure we felt comfortable with this. We then worked with Natalie to explore all the types of glass further and to design our own fused glass item. I am delighted with what I achieved and am looking forward to returning in the future to do another course. I would highly recommend this course."

"A friend and I have just attended our second workshop at the fabulous Boho Shed in Billinge. I have learnt so much, furniture painting techniques and now upholstery. Not only are the courses extremely informative but Jo is an excellent tutor who has encouraged me in my newfound love of crafting. I would thoroughly recommend both courses."

"Cecily- Kate is a truly masterful artist. Her craftwork has the highest quality and her instructions are easy to follow. Such skill and fine artistry go into her craftsmanship. The end product is absolutely exquisite with great integrity and refinement. The way with which she makes the course such a heartfelt journey makes her craft courses that extra special. I'd recommend her courses to anyone looking for a joyful and engaging craft experience, with an end product that will melt your heart. Absolutely brilliant."

"Highly recommended; Paul is a great teacher, his teaching skills were impressive and Natalie is a great fantastic designer with such beautiful ideas; I enjoyed the workshop very much, it was my first experience working with glass and cannot believe to have produced a beautiful outcome. The course is held in a beautiful and calm atmosphere, lunch was so yummy and beautiful served. All in all, I had a very beautiful day and I definitely want to come back! Thank you so much Natalie and Paul for a great experience, for all the knowledge you shared and for just giving us an amazing day, with lots of love, Petra from St Ives, Cambridgeshire xx"

Emma Kirkman reviewed: Introduction to Glass Fusing with Enamels - Full Day Workshop

"My family and I had the most fantastic day on Steve's one-day Introduction to Glass Fusing with Enamels. He made true artistes out of us all!! He was both patient and very good at explaining the process and helping us all to create some beautiful pieces - none of us had ever done it before! Would highly recommend it. Had a beautiful Sunday roast too - the perfect day!"

I enjoyed it like a kid, lots of excitement, choosing the colours, the textures, the artistic part of it, the learning of different techniques of weaving and all in one day! Highly recommended for yourself and if you want to share it with someone and spend the day out together. Thank you Alice for your patience and for sharing your knowledge with us xx PS I have a lovely piece of my creativity hanging on my wall thanks to your :)"

Bobby Aspey reviewed: One to one, One day, blacksmith course

"This one day workshop was a gift from my family. As an experienced teacher myself, I found it refreshing to see that Alex (blacksmith) had a great approach to learning/modelling/teaching. He allowed me, a complete novice the opportunity to try out a vast array of skills throughout the day. His timing on intervention was perfect, never allowing me to flounder but sufficient time to gain necessary momentum at each step along the way. I was astounded by the chestnut pan roaster, designed and finished in the time given. It’s a gorgeous piece of artwork, sturdy and made to last, thanks to his excellent guidance. Superb day!"

Chalk Pit Forge responded:

"Thanks for the great review Bobby. I'm really happy you enjoyed the day, learnt lots and are happy with what you made. All the best Alex"

Tracy Revill reviewed: Blind Embossing: lino printing without inks, in Derbyshire

"I have attended Liz’s workshops before. I love being creative but lack confidence. Liz always makes the experience accessible and fun. What’s more, the outcome is always better than I expected. Today I am very proud of ‘Chubby Owl ?’, which is all thanks to Liz and my fellow attendee Claire, who brought some amazing owl sketches to fire my imagination. I would recommend this course as a great one to start with if you’ve not done one before"

Liz Wellby - Artist, Teacher & Maker responded:

"Hi Tracy, As ever, it was lovely to work with you at The Slipper Studio. Your pieces are lovely and unique, including your curvaceous owl and I hope they are well received. Best wishes Liz Wellby"
