"What a brilliant two days!
I was given this course as a present, and as such accepted the generous gift at face value and did little research into the course. I emailed Karen with my project, asking for her thoughts and from then on the experience was fantastic.
As a wood and metal worker I have many years experience in workshops but had never considered upholstery, a now obvious extension to my practice.
Karen led us all through our individual projects whilst keeping a great group dynamic in the room, each stage was patiently covered (sic) and then reviewed when complete. At no time did one feel lost, or helpless. I completed my project with a couple of hours to spare and without a moment to consider, was started on another one to make a cushion to complement my upholstered chair.
I made new friends within the group, the communal lunches were delicious and full of conversation.
I am now looking at options for my next project, I might test Karen a little harder next time, she certainly has the skills and experience."
