"I had a lovely time on the course, Clare is very friendly and encouraging, and the course is run at a manageable pace in a well lit room. A small class size helps, and it was a relaxing morning. I was very proud of my lampshade. Oh and Clare serves delicious tea and biscuits!"

"Yet another amazing workshop done by Clare. I did my first Geliprint workshop about 8 months ago, and couldn’t wait to do another. I wasn’t disappointed , I had a better idea of what to expect this time and took a few things with me to try. Clare was as supportive and talented as ever a I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hours- I could have stayed all day.... I have booked for the multimedia workshop in a few weeks time and can’t wait to see what I can do with the prints I did this week. Thank you Clare- I would thoroughly reccomend your workshops to any one, who wants to extend their creative talents, or just spend a few fun hours trying something different. Denise"

Susan MacKell reviewed: Gelli Plate Printing Workshop by Clare Cosens

"Really great little course - spent a lovely couple of hours learning a new printing technique and achieving great results in a short time. Clare is an excellent teacher - really creative with lots of advice and ideas, would definitely recommend her courses. Very relaxed atmosphere in Clare's little garage studio - with tea and biscuits too! I would have liked to have spent at least another hour on the course to get more prints done, but have already ordered a Gelli plate so i can carry on printing at home,"

"Had a great Saturday morning enjoying a Gelli plate printing class. A small group meant that the tutor Clare was able to give us all individual attention. We all produced some wonderful pieces. Very relaxed atmosphere which enabled us all to tap into our "creative" side. Definitely recommend."

Carole McWilliams reviewed: Mixed Media workshop with Clare Cosens

"Really enjoyed this course. Clare is an excellent teacher and is happy to share her extensive experience and flair for design. I had attended Clare's Gelli Printing course first (also excellent) so had several background sheets to use on the day. All participants did something completely different and we learnt lots of techniques and different approaches to producing a finished mixed media project. Can highly recommend this course."

Tiffany Brett reviewed: Mixed Media workshop with Clare Cosens

"This was the follow up workshop to a gelli printing session I had attended earlier in the year. I've done a fair bit of mixed media but I still learnt some new tips and techniques that I hadn't considered before. Clare is exceptionally generous with her time, energy and resources which makes all of her workshops fun and inspirational. I walked away with a picture that I am proud to hang on my wall."

Sarah Lynch reviewed: Gelli Plate Printing Workshop by Clare Cosens

"Mum and I thoroughly enjoyed this excellent course. Clare made us feel very welcome and relaxed from the start, as neither of us had ever tried this exciting printing technique. She is a very capable teacher, didn't feel intimidated once. We created quite a few prints, and left feeling really inspired, and keen to do more. Definitely worth the money, with refreshments and all materials included."

"Had a great time on this workshop today. Had no idea what Gelli Plate Printing would entail, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Clare explained everything very clearly and made every one feel at ease and comfortable in her lovely workshop. All material was provided and Clare was on hand for those needing extra help and ideas. I came away having learnt a new skill and have every intention of booking another as I enjoyed it so much. I would highly recommend this workshop for anyone crafty or creative- Clare has excellent teaching skills and was very encouraging throughout. Mixed media course has to be a follow up for me too. Had a superb time, thank you Clare"

"Two hours disappeared in a flash on this fascinating course. Clare is an extremely talented and inspirational tutor who doesn’t mind answering endless questions. Would have no hesitation in recommending this excellent value course to complete beginners (like me!) or those with more experience.

"We attended this course yesterday (10/03/18) and from the outset it was excellent. Clare explained the process, demonstrated each step, gave guidance and suggestions when needed and provided tea and very delicious biscuits. We came away having learnt a new skill and with several prints. I would definitely recommend this course if you fancy trying something new. It was all carried out in Clare’s workshop with three other crafty folks. Now need to book myself into the follow on course so I can add to the prints I made."

"This was a fun course with instant results. We all produced about 5 prints in the 2 hours. It was interesting to see how different everyone's prints turned out. Clare was a great teacher, very encouraging helping us all to get the best out of this printing technique. I plan to do the mixed media course at some time in the future."
