Liz Priest reviewed: Painting with wool & silk fibres - Feltmaking

"My Sister, Mum and myself thoroughly enjoyed our day feltmaking with Barbara. Barbara guided us through the process extremely well, she supported us and gave confidence to use our creative minds. In the day we made a felted picture and a felted bowl. We were all impressed with our creations and amazed we completed them both within the day. We would highly recommend this course & it doesn’t matter if you are new to feltmaking as Barbara will expertly guide you. Thank you Barbara for a lovely creative day. Liz, Caroline & Margaret"

"Barbara is so calm and patient, we had lovely experience with her. Her outside space is just lovely in this summer weather too. I'm a total novice and not very arty and even I came out with a lovely picture and ideas for what I'd want to do next time! Or maybe I'll do needle felting.....she is so inspiring. "

Jenni Capewell reviewed: Printing with Gelli Plates - pictures or memory book pages

"The course was a lovely way to spend a day in half term. I attended this course as part of some teacher CPD with the hope of developing my knowledge and printing techniques. Barbara is a very knowledgeable tutor and showed us lots of examples of her own to give us inspiration. We were then able to experiment, producing lots of work bringing in our own ideas. The course was very well planned, well resourced and welcoming for all different abilities. I hope to attend another one soon! Thank you Barbara! "
