Amarjeet reviewed: Batik your initial in Ripley, Derbyshire

"I had an absolutely fantastic day with Sue. She is very knowledgeable and talented. I learnt so much! The studio was a comfortable, inspiring and warm place to spend the day in. Plenty of tea/coffee/biscuits throughout the day with some lovely homemade soup and bread for lunch. Sue quietly instilled confidence in you throughout the day if you were feeling unsure,as I was, for not being very "arty". When I shared my Batik with my family they were really impressed . My husband said he would like one so I will be booking again. Thank you Sue for such a relaxed and enjoyable day. I would highly recommend this course to anyone."

Attic Batik responded:

"Thank you Amarjeet. It's great to hear your family were impressed by you exploring your creativity and they ought to be; you made a lovely batik and of course I'm so happy you'll be coming back again! :-)"

"I highly recommend this course. I had such a brilliant day learning a new craft. Sue was so welcoming, put me at ease from the start and was incredibly generous with her time. The studio is lovely with a calm, relaxing atmosphere and filled with beautiful and inspirational works of art. Sue was an excellent and encouraging teacher offering guidance throughout the day. I plan to continue developing my skills in this medium, and I would love to do another course with Sue if offered."

Sarah Gascoigne reviewed: Batik your initial in Ripley, Derbyshire

"A beautiful studio with so many inspiring ideas displayed. Sue is just wonderful, a great host and teacher. It was such a relaxing day, everything was explained and there was no rush. The materials were all prepared and were of such quality and choice. I thoroughly enjoyed learning the art of batik, so much in fact that it is something I would love to continue to do. Your end result is beautifully framed, and to walk away with such a professional work of art that you have made could not make you feel more proud. I would recommend Sue and her course to anyone. Thank you so much Sue for a wonderful day."

Attic Batik responded:

"It's nice to hear you felt unhurried and relaxed Sarah, and I'm happy to hear that batik is something you'd love to continue with! It was lovely to meet you and to work with you ~ Thank you very much!"

"I signed up for this workshop on the spur of the moment, wanting to try something completely different. I’m not an artist but have creative leanings and thought this may be a new outlet. Sue was a great teacher with a balance between teaching the skills and letting creativity flow. The day just whizzed by - it was so absorbing and relaxing. It’s a beautiful studio that inspires creativity. Everything is to hand and of a high quality. I was so pleased with my finished piece and has won the admiration of family and friends."

Annette reviewed: Batik your initial in Ripley, Derbyshire

"I had the most amazing day learning batik. Located in the town with free parking just across the market square. Stylish studio with great feel, big windows for lots of light and a very warm welcome. Sue did short demonstrations and encouraged questions. It was lovely having the day to relax, explore and learn techniques used in this craft. I still am blown away by the versatility and scope reflected in everyone's work on the day.....I have the batik bug!"

Attic Batik responded:

"Thank you Annette. I'm so happy you've caught the batik bug! The possibilities with Batik are endless. Hope to see you in the studio again soon."
