Sarah reviewed: Art and Craft Days - 'Christmas Decorations in Rush & Willow' Karen Lawrence Morning workshop

"Thank you we had a lovely morning starting with a warm & friendly greeting. Karen’s demonstrations & structions were very clear & easy to follow. The resources that were supplied were of good quality and with plenty of embelishments to choose from. We learnt a great deal and made some lovely willow decorations. We were given enough willow & rush reeds to make more at home – which between us we made a further 6 and lots of little stars with the leftovers. The refreshment were lovely too, tea/coffee, mulled wine (alcoholic & non alcoholic) with homemade cakes or mince pies. Sarah"

Jayne reviewed: Art & Craft Days - Plant Obelisk & Blue Tit Feeder in Willow

"I would like to thank you both for a fabulous day spent at the Butterfly Studio, learning how to make an Obelisk and Tit Feeder. Our teacher Deb was very good at delivering the workshop. She was able to demonstrate the processes needed to complete the tasks within the time and we all left with beautiful willow items. Deb even showed us how to make some additional items (reindeer), which was an added extra. I appreciated the way she taught, allowing us to work on our own, but also happy to offer advice no help when requested. As for the premises, well they were excellent! I could not praise enough the quality of the food and the regularity of breaks. I came with my friend Denise. We enjoyed it so much that we hope to booked another course in November. Carry on doing just as you do!!"

janet reviewed: Art & Craft Days - Create your own Textile Artwork - Beach Huts

"I really enjoyed the two half-day workshops with Heidi. The pace was good and instruction very clear, with lots of design and technique ideas. Materials and equipment were excellent and the general atmosphere was friendly and fun. Tea and cake breaks were most welcome, as I am inclined to go for too long without a drink. I'd definitely consider a workshop with Heidi at The Butterfly Studio again."

Sue reviewed: Art & Craft Days - Easter Bunny Pin Cushion-Needlefelting Two Half Day Workshops

"Another great class at The Butterfly Studio with Lana showing us how to make a Easter Bunny pin cushion from dry felt. I didn't know what to expect but with Lana's patience, Brian and Julie's great hospitality, as well as the lovely cakes, and also with the other nice ladies in the group, we all managed to make our Easter Bunny pin cushions, which we looked at with great pride, as at the start of the course, we didn't think it would ever look like a Rabbit. Thanks Lana, Bran and Julie. I look forward to another class at the studio."

"Easter Bunny Pin-cushion Needle-felting - Lana Walton - 1st & 8th April 2017 An excellent 2 sessions at Butterfly studios with Lana creating an Easter bunny pincushion! Nice group of ladies, Brian & Julie were very friendly and laid back. Despite being in the depths of the countryside the directions very easy and the course was well worth my 70 mile round trip journey! Even if it was just for Brian's delicious cake"
