"It was a frosty day, however Di gave a warm welcome in her cosy artists workshop. She demonstrates, inspires and encourages you to experiment with the materials provided, to create a unique sculpture. I had so much fun, a totally relaxing, positive day. An experience to highly recommend. Thank you for a great day Di, Harold the leaping hare is proudly displayed."

Art on the Edge responded:

"Thank you so much for the feedback !! I really enjoyed our day together. You managed to make such beautiful sculptures ! Glad Harold is being displayed proudly !!! "

Jackie Payne reviewed: Pottery Hand building. Weekly Morning/Afternoon work shops. Studio experience.

"We both thoroughly enjoyed our first taste of pottery. Di's studio was in a lovely rural setting which was inspiring - as was Di who made us feel relaxed whilst taking us through the basics of hand pinching and rolling clay . It was a very enjoyable whilst informative session which made time fly by and left us wanting more . We are planning to come back soon so we can learn how to glaze our "masterpieces"."

Art on the Edge responded:

"Thank you so much Jackie. They will soon be ready to glaze !"

David Darbyshire reviewed: Giacometti style bronzed animal sculpture one day workshop Suffolk one-to-one or max 4 students

"My wife and myself (a non crafty person) had a great day on this course with Di showing us what to do. Would never have believed that by the end of the day we would have gone from a piece of wire to a bronzed style sculpture of a pair of hare's. Would recommend this course to all ages and abilities, great day. Dave and Heloise "

Art on the Edge responded:

"Loved meeting you guys. Such fun. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. Both your hares were really fabulous! I look forward to seeing them in situ. Di"

"Loved this course so much! My sister, mother and I had a great time and came away with dog sculptures good enough to put up on display despite our general lack of artistic ability :D Di was really friendly and welcoming as well. 10/10 recommend this course."

Judith Lainsbury reviewed: Giacometti style bronzed animal sculpture one day workshop Suffolk one-to-one or max 4 students

Chris Lewis reviewed: Giacometti style bronzed animal sculpture one day workshop Suffolk one-to-one or max 4 students

"I thoroughly enjoyed the day long Giacometti sculpture course. Di was the perfect host and the whole experience took me back to the little bit of sculpture I did at art school many years ago. The studio is set in beautiful surroundings and being away from all other distractions was the ideal environment to relax and be creative. I was so inspired by Di that I am considering taking up sculpture as a hobby. "

Art on the Edge responded:

"Hi Chris. Thank you so much for your kind review! Definitely take up sculpture you are a natural! I look forward to seeing your work in a gallery one day! Di x"

Rain reviewed: Giacometti style bronzed animal sculpture one day workshop Suffolk one-to-one or max 4 students

"This course was great day out and I’d highly recommend it for anyone wanting to learn a new art skill. The teaching was pitched just right so I left with a piece that was all my own creation. The pace was just right, and cups of tea and chatter available all day. This day was definitely worth the time and money. "

Art on the Edge responded:

"Oh Rain thank you so much! I really enjoyed your company. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Di x"

Nicola Patten reviewed: Giacometti style bronzed animal sculpture one day workshop Suffolk one-to-one or max 4 students

"We had the best day with Di in her fantastic home studio. She was so lovely we felt like we were spending the day with a friend and had a really great time doing something different as a family. We were so impressed with what we all managed to achieve and we all had a finished sculpture to take home at the end of the day! I'd give a sixth star if I could for the sparkling company of Bojo the dog throughout :) (we were asked if we minded him joining us!) "

Art on the Edge responded:

"Oh Nicolas that's so kind. I really enjoyed my day with you all. Hope the sculptures got home safe and sound. D x"

She was a fabulous teacher and so accommodating, very kindly rescheduling after illness struck our original booking a few months ago. We had SUCH fun and are all thrilled with the results! Company from Bojo the dog throughout was also a very happy additional extra. Thoroughly recommend this course!"

Chris reviewed: Giacometti style bronzed animal sculpture one day workshop Suffolk one-to-one or max 4 students

"I had a fabulous day attempting to make a Giacometti style ostrich!! Di is a great teacher and it was definitely a fun project to undertake in a day - I've learnt a lot of new-to-me techniques and I'm completely delighted with the figure that I've brought back with me. "

"Thank you ! I enjoyed teaching you..great pleasure. "

Graham reviewed: Giacometti style bronzed animal sculpture one day workshop Suffolk one-to-one or max 4 students

"I became inspired to learn a little about sculpture after seeing The Helmet, by Henry Moore, in the National Gallery in Edinburgh, which is simply stunning. After I returned home to Essex I found Di’s one day workshop on the internet and booked myself on. The day was simply fantastic and I came away with a bronzed cat, which I am very pleased with. Di’s instruction is excellent, the facilities are great, and I can honestly say the day surpassed my expectations. I can thoroughly recommend the workshop. If you have an interest in sculpture and want to make something that is not too difficult this is a great place to start. I am about to collect together materials to have a go at making another piece myself at home."

Art on the Edge responded:

"Thank you Graham it was a delight to meet you. Fabulous cat and I really enjoyed teaching you. Send me some pics of your next creation. Di"
