Emma Alviti reviewed: Gelli Plate Printing Workshop by Clare Cosens

"I bought this workshop as a Christmas present for my mum and we both really enjoyed it. It's a great experimental workshop with instant results and it's quite messy! Clare was a great teacher and was very patient with us. We might try Clare's lampshade course next."

Tiffany reviewed: Gelli Plate Printing Workshop by Clare Cosens

"What a wonderful workshop. Clare is brilliant (and very patient!). She showed us the various techniques we could use and then we each had a separate Gelli Plate to play with with lots of different materials. Clare helped each of us to refine our prints so we not only played with designs but learnt a lot too. I have now got myself a Gelli Plate and am loving implementing what I have learnt onto mixed media and journal designs. Thanks Clare!"

Beci Hughes reviewed: Lampshade Making Workshop with Clare Cosens

"Clare is such a fantastic teacher and lovely person. We were all made to feel very welcome with regular offers of tea, coffee and biscuits over the two hours. The workshop itself was extremely well organised with all materials and tools set out for us. I was chuffed with my lampshade and have just ordered another kit to do another. Clare has helpfully provided a list of instructions and tips for us. I would highly recommend. Thanks so much Clare, hope to do more workshops with you on future."

"I had such a great day, really relaxed and friendly atmosphere in a beautiful studio...... I want one like that :-) This is an amazing course I would say for both beginners or advanced crafty people. For me having such a busy life it was lovely to have a destress and be able to be creative for the day. I will definitely be coming back and think I might buy my friend a voucher for Christmas too xxxx"

Stephanie Johnstone reviewed: Gelli Plate Printing Workshop by Clare Cosens

"Clare is amazing, known her for many years. Wasn’t really sure what Gelli Plate Printing was but it sounded interesting. Clare made everyone feel comfortable and demonstrated as she explained the process. I would definitely recommend this course and is definitely worth the money. I would love to do this course again! :) Oh and Clare makes an excellent brew with biscuits :)"

"Had a lovely couple of hours in a cosy light and airy workshop and was amazed at how quickly I and the others in the group produced quality work, Its a fascinating process well taught by a qualified tutor who encouraged us to experiment with colour textures and other techniques, tea and biscuits provided, and I came home with a folder full of work that I was proud of. I would highly recommend this workshop."

Rosemary Sheen reviewed: Lampshade Making Workshop with Clare Cosens

"My friend and I spent a lovely afternoon with Clare on the Drum Lampshade making workshop. Clare is an experienced teacher and took the time to explain everything clearly. Whilst not taking over, our teacher encouraged us every step of the way , which ensured that we learned the skill for ourselves. We were thrilled with the result! On our return home , my friend had What zapped me a photo of her lampshade in situ in her bedroom before i had even had chance to unpack my bags !! needless to say we were thrilled with the whole experience and would highly recommend a workshops with this excellent teacher ( NB : Clare is also a fantastic designer too, and has created some gorgeous fabrics, which you can see in her workshop)"
