Christine Wood reviewed: Stained Glass Christmas Angel - Flatford Mill

"Flatford Mill is a joy. Such an iconic building and landscape. The copper foil glass course tutor Claire was very helpful and knowledgeable. She explained all the techniques and processes clearly and safely. It was a very enjoyable day and has left me with the confidence to try some glass cutting on my own and with an idea of tools and equipment to buy."

Field Studies Council responded:

"Dear Christine, We are so please you enjoyed the day. All the angels made on the day were beautiful. Claire"

Sally reviewed: Smartphone Photography - Flatford Mill

"Very enjoyable day. Suitable for absolute beginners - plenty of useful information around photograph composition and mobile phone capabilities. Beautiful setting, perfectly adequate facilities. Highly recommended."

Field Studies Council responded:

"Dear Sally, Thank you, I am so pleased you enjoyed the day and found it useful. Enjoy using your new found techniques. Claire"

Amal reviewed: Mixed Media Methods: All the Marks Play Their Part

"This was a fabulous course...I've come away from it buzzing to play and try out the advice and suggestions we were given. Steve gave some wonderful examples of how mixed media can be used to create pictures, but the style of the course was very much experimental rather than directed, with Steve always on hand for guidance and advice. "

Linda Jensen reviewed: Sketching and Painting at Benton End

"Sadly I had an accident just before the date. This meant I could not attend. I was so looking forward to the course. I would love to try again when I have recovered. I know the rules and conditions but is there anyway you could help me with the fee?"

Field Studies Council responded:

"Hi Linda, You will need to check with CraftCourses.com as you booked through them. I would be quite happy to transfer you to another course, however, as you did not attend we will not be receiving your fee from CraftCourses. Claire"
