Craft Workshops reviews

Tracy De Boorder reviewed: Needle felting - woodland creature or bird, or other small animal: (beginners+)

"Really enjoyed the day creating a wet felted pot and picture. Sally gave good instructions and as it was a small group was able to give advise through the production of each piece. It was a very friendly environment with tea, coffee, biscuits all provided by Sally. I will be back for more classes."

Craft Workshops responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Tracy ~ we did have a very enjoyable, creative day! Look forward to seeing you again soon, Sally"

Kate Boe reviewed: Craft Workshop: Learn to make silver art clay jewellery in a day (beginner)

"A fantastic course! Pitched at beginners, which was perfect for me, yet we learnt loads in just one day and came away with our pieces of jewellery that we had made. Plenty of extra information to allow you to go away and continue to gain experience. I will definitely be coming back for other courses soon!"

Melanie reviewed: Craft Workshop: Learn to make silver art clay jewellery in a day (beginner)

"A very absorbing and interesting craft day. I had no idea what silver clay was so I was full of expectation and wasn’t disappointed. Sally is an excellent tutor and was very engaging and helpful, guiding personal creativity. Everyone came away with a lovely piece of jewellery and all very different. I can recommend this course."

Susan Burton reviewed: Craft in company: group in Henstridge nr Stalbridge Somerset & Dorset. Bring any craft and/or book a craft taster session from a selection.

"I regularly attend these Sunday Craft Days. I can't rate them high enough. I bring to Sally my craft ideas/projects and receive expert guidance. She is a great tutor, explaining why she does things in a particular way. I really feel I come away with many skills, increased confidence and my own hand crafted project. These Sunday's are my 'therapy' and I prioritise them above everything else. I've met some lovely people who are making all sorts of things. It's so good to meet with a group of like minded people and 'create'. Sally is always on hand with a huge welcome, tea & biscuits, a wealth of knowledge and skills which she very willingly imparts to me and others. I can't wait for the next one!"

"From the moment my daughter and I arrived we felt welcome. We each learned new skills to further develop our craft projects. The day left us buzzing with ideas we were inspired to try. Sally and the other members of the group shared their knowledge willingly and we achieved our own lovely pieces to take home. Thank you and looking forward to next time."

Sharon Birch reviewed: Introduction to making mosaics (Beginner level)

"I drove for 3 hours and stayed at a B&B the night before to attend this taster session and it was absolutely worth it! Sally was an excellent host with a wealth of knowledge and I really appreciated her teaching style of gentle guidance rather than a prescriptive approach. I felt very welcome in a group of people I had never met before and left with pieces of work I felt proud of. I will definitely do this again and would recommend it to anyone wanting to try out different crafts."

Sharon Stagg reviewed: Wet felting workshop: introduction to 3D construction for Bowls, Pods and Bags in Henstridge near Stalbridge, Somerset and Dorset

Trisha Wells reviewed: Wet felting workshop: introduction to 3D construction for Bowls, Pods and Bags in Henstridge near Stalbridge, Somerset and Dorset

"This course was exciting with instant and stunning results. I still can't believe I made three good things in one day! Being told what to do step by step was so reassuring and Sally could spot errors we were unaware of and point us in the correct direction before we ruined our work, that sort of experience would have taken me years to gain, if I had the time to do it! Hugely valuable."

Jo Payne reviewed: Craft Workshop: Learn to make silver art clay jewellery in a day (beginner)

Thank you!! ?"

Jackie Parris reviewed: Introduction to needle felting character teddy bears in Henstridge nr Stalbridge, Somerset and Dorset

"I thoroughly enjoyed the needle felted teddy bear workshop. Sally was very welcoming and I felt at ease throughout the day within a small friendly group of like minded people keen to learn a new skill. Sally was a very good tutor, very patient and demonstrated all aspects of making the teddy bear clearly and simply. We all completed a little teddy bear on the course and I went away having learnt a lot more about needle felting. I highly recommend this course for anyone who has never needle felted before or for those who already have some experience."

The workshop was really good value for money and I will definitely be looking at doing another workshop on the future. Thank you Sally"

Zoe reviewed: Craft Workshop: Learn to make silver art clay jewellery in a day (beginner)

"As a fan of all kinds of crafts, I received the beginners silver clay workshop course as birthday present. It was an excellent day and the perfect present idea. The class was small, Sally was an excellent and enthusiastic tutor and silver clay a fantastic medium allowing us to create all kinds of beautiful and varied pieces. Everyone left at the end of the day very proud of their finished work and with lots of top money saving tips on how to continue to use silver clay. Definitely one of the best crafting courses I have attended. Highly recommended."

Clare Gibbs reviewed: Outside Workshop: Get started with DSLR creative photography(Beginners level)

"I can't thank Sally for this course enough, it opened my eyes to what I am able to achieve with my camera. A well balanced course, both informal yet professional with easy steps to help you get to grips with the technology you're learning. Beautiful venue and a fantastic price! Ready for the next level! X"

Elaine reviewed: Outside Workshop: Get started with DSLR creative photography(Beginners level)

"This course helped me to understand my camera more and use it more confidently and creatively. Sally is very knowledgable and has time to ensure everyone is learning about their own camera. The venue is great for creativity and the ambience Sally creates is relaxed and friendly. I would definitely recommend this course"

Tori Hunter reviewed: Outside Workshop: Get started with DSLR creative photography(Beginners level)

"Absolutely brilliant day, I would highly recommend to beginners. Set at a great venue with lots of interesting subject matter to photograph. Sally was informal and makes you feel relaxed as soon as you arrive. Great balance of technical vs practical throughout the day. I came away feeling inspired and can already see a difference in my photographs."

Joanne Bostan reviewed: Outside Workshop: Get started with DSLR creative photography(Beginners level)

"Fabulous day spent learning not only about my camera (without all the confusing technical terms) but about how to achieve a great photograph using the technology within the camera. Nice small group and very relaxed. Sally is very patient and a great teacher. I would highly recommend this one day course, it's excellent for the beginner and for those with a little knowledge"
