Kate reviewed: Lampwork Bead Making in the flame. VERY VERY Special Offer for 2 people

"Wow - what a fantastic day. Kim was so lovely and welcoming, and endlessly patient. There was something hugely satisfying about making beads, even if ours came out slightly wonky they were still gorgeous. Kim had a large range of colours for us to play with, and was happy for us to make as many beads as we could in the time. We then got to supplement our creations with Kim's own lovely stash to create all sorts of goodies, from jewellery to bookmarks, keyfobs, pens. Just a brilliant day from start to finish."

Bethyboobeads responded:

"Thank you so much for the lovely comments, I’m so glad you had a wonderful day and you were a pleasure to have in my home, making some wonderful creations, good luck with all your future crafting xx"

"Both Julie and I loved this course. Kim gave clear instructions and was incredibly helpful when we went slightly wrong! The time went so quickly, but we both came away with several lovely beads which we made into key rings but there were lots of options and Kim had a huge array of complimentary beads for us to use. Great course, would definitely recommend. "

Bethyboobeads responded:

"Many thanks, two very talented ladies, a pleasure to have you on my course and you really did make some fabulous items… x"

"My friend and I had a fabulous time with Kim. Never done this before and seeing each individual bead form was exciting. Need to be aware you are working with a naked flame so need a steady hand, and to hold your nerve when you think it's going wrong... however, Kim was always on hand and at the ready to save us 😁. An enjoyable day."

Bethyboobeads responded:

"You were both a pleasure to teach, and very talented ladies, thank you so much for booking and so glad you had a lovely time xx"

"What a brilliant afternoon! I booked this course at the last minute, just for myself because I was feeling the January blues, and was looking for a distraction. Couldn't have picked anything better! Kim is a wonderful teacher, patient and full of good humour. She is very generous with her time and advice, and with the materials. I managed to make loads of lovely glass beads, and Kim helped me to make a beautiful bead bracelet as well. I can’t recommend this course enough; I had a great time! (And my January blues are gone 😊)"

"I am so pleased you managed to pick this course and have a lovely time. You are very talented lady and will go onto make some beautiful craft items yourself, thank you so much, it was a pleasure to meet you x"

Sophie Sheppard reviewed: Lampwork Bead Making in the flame. VERY VERY Special Offer for 2 people

"We had THE best afternoon with Kim! What a fantastic thing to do and she’s a great teacher, we made 7 beads each and then got to create our own jewellery/bookmarks and bag charms with our handiwork and other sparkles and beautiful beads that Kim had made earlier… and we were spoilt with sweet treats, crisps drinks and nibbles as we were working! I can’t recommend enough! One of my friends couldn’t make it at the last minute and Kim went out of her way to send her a goody bag and ask after her. We were enjoying ourselves so much we totally lost track of time. A huge thank you for a very special experience Kim, we will definitely be back if you’d have us!? x"

Bethyboobeads responded:

"Many thanks Sophie, you were all a pleasure to have taught and so talented. It will be great to see you again and for your poor friend to have a lovely afternoon as well. So glad you love all your bits, they really did look fabulous. See you soon I hope and if not have a fabulous Christmas with the families xx"

"We had an absolutely amazing time! Kim is fantastic! From the moment we walked through the doors to the very end when we left with two completely unique necklaces, we were laughing, having a brilliant time, expertly guided, learned so much - and had coffee, biscuits and crisps! Give yourself a treat and book this course with Kim - she is brilliant, and you will come away with heirloom art you previously didn't think you could possibly make yourself."

Brenda Ratcliffe reviewed: Melt glass to make beads & make 3 embroidered creative items - 2 people

"Liz and I spent an enjoyable afternoon (in March) with Kim, Liz learning to make beads and although I didn't make beads (my eyesight problem not Kim's fault) I did have a lovely discussion about machine embroidery - which prompted me to upgrade mine. Kim was very helpful in recommending a great Embroidery machine shop and alerting me that the prices of the machines were about to go up (I ordered with a day to spare, that saved me £600!). I was generously given free reign to make jewellery pieces from Kim's stash. Liz has now bought her own kit with the view to starting a small business. We would both highly recommend Kim courses."
