Tamara reviewed: Make a wish bowl with felt artist Sue Hawkmoon

"I loved the class! It was well organised and she had a good range of resources to use. The time went quickly and was used well but allowed for people to chat, ask questions and work at their own pace too. Most definitely value for money. It's the first short course that I have done so I didn't know what to expect but I loved it. An amazing venue and resource for local artists to teach / run workshops. A lady gave me a tour of the workshops and chatted with me for quite a while about the history and what's on offer. As I said, you are an amazing resource for the local and wider community! Love it!"

Sally reviewed: Learn pen and wash painting techniques with artist Anne Barnham

"Class was well run and good value for money - £25 for whole day, specialist materials provided tho we were asked to bring own basics, Would have been helpful if Anne had stipulated what kind of watercolour paper to bring and whether to stretch it - turned out to be rough surfaced min 400gsm which didn't need stretched - but I muddled through! And Anne had spares *:) happy Venue was a bit tight for ten but manageable. Enjoyed course thoroughly - lovely atmosphere - and intend to book her perspectives class."

Trish reviewed: KF Creative Mosaics Workshop with Karen Frosdick – Make a beautiful 30cms mosaic bowl

"I thoroughly enjoyed the day, it was well run and the teacher was very helpful, informative, patient and very enthusiastic (inspiring might also be a good word here !) Initially I thought it was quite expensive but now I feel it was good value. Venue was good although we had difficulty finding the building, not realising it was down the side passage behind the shop. I think it would have been a good idea to ask everyone to bring a little hairdryer as we had to fight over the one provided ! All in all a super day and I have now bought several beginner kits to get me started in this very enjoyable craft."

Natalie reviewed: KF Creative Mosaics Workshop with Karen Frosdick – Make a beautiful 30cms mosaic bowl

"Very enjoyable, relaxing too. Would consider attending again. Learnt about the craft as well as made a lovely bowl! Able to make own creative, individual bowl. We were encouraged and directed well so we could create our own piece which is‎ unique rather than follow a prescribed pattern. So many different styles were created in the one class. ‎Tutor was fun and informative, time for all. Clear info, all great!"
