clare reviewed: Make fabulous felt - needle felting and wet felting techniques to make animals, bags, pictures...

"Have done several classes with Toni now and I can thoroughly recommend her. Her classes are friendly places; you immediately feel welcome and confident. Toni is an excellent teacher and classes are generously resourced. If you are interested in wet and/or needle felting then one of Toni's classes is a good place to start."

Suzie reviewed: Enamelled jewellery for beginners and improvers - fired glass jewellery techniques

"I tried enamelling on silver clay as it combines two of my favourite things. The course was all I hoped for and more! I picked up useful techniques and came away with a little clutch of lovely items I will enjoy using. My earrings are divine, silver with a subtle hint of purply colour. Will definitely book another course at some point!"

Victoria reviewed: Enamelled jewellery for beginners and improvers - fired glass jewellery techniques

"We had a great day, learning how to enamel on copper. Toni explained all the steps very clearly & the reasons behind what we needed to do (& safety precautions). We used opaque & transparent enamels, beads, frit, silver foil & stencils, plus different techniques .. I had a go at 'swirling' a pattern in the kiln. We made 3 pieces each, which we loved & got a lot of helpful hints, etc. to take home. I would love to do another course with Toni ... well worth the long drive there & back!"

"I did a wax art course with Toni and was amazed at the number of techniques and pieces of artwork I produced. I thoroughly enjoyed the day, learning a skill I will continue to use. Toni is an excellent and fun teacher. She let us loose to experiment with lots of different media and colours and was very encouraging. If you want to learn wax art, book a class with her!"

Catherine reviewed: Enamelled jewellery for beginners and improvers - fired glass jewellery techniques

"I have had a lesson with Toni and found it very worth while. Toni taught me the basics of enamelling onto copper and I was able to complete three pieces before the end of the lesson. Toni had lots of materials, enamel powders and decorative items (glass beads etc...) that I was able to choose from. I would defiantly recommend, it was great value and Toni is a great teacher."

"Toni was very informative and very good at instructing on the various techniques, and as total beginner I found the course unbelievably helpful. Altering the course to trailer to your specific needs I think this is a great choice for anyone wanting to start in this area of glass work."

Helen Cruickshank reviewed: Flamework (Lampwork) - Making glass beads for beginners

"I cannot praise this course enough. Toni is an excellent teacher, showing each stage of bead making and allowing lots of time for you to try each different technique. Although she has a structured plan, grading each new technique in order to maximise learning, she allows for individual choice and will adapt the course to your preference."

Sari Beastall reviewed: Flamework (Lampwork) - Making glass beads for beginners

"Toni is very knowledgeable and nervous beginners will be immediately put at ease by her friendly approach. The course itself covers a surprisingly large range of techniques for the time involved, and you will end up with a nice little collection of beads to take home with you."

Gilly Maddison reviewed: Encaustic art beginners class - paint with molten wax

"Toni came to my home to run the workshop for me and some friends. We had a brilliant morning and learnt so much about encaustic art. We all produced pieces of artwork during the session and I was so taken with this art form that I bought all the stuff I needed the same day! Toni is a really approachable tutor, very friendly and eager to share her passion with others. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering taking up encaustic art as a hobby or who wants to learn more about it."
