Leanne Coupe reviewed: Silk Scarf Painting with Fiona Setchell

"Wonderful day! Thoroughly enjoyed myself and found it relaxing as I'd hoped. Fiona is so welcoming and calm. Her studio is lovely, full of inspiring prints , pictures and colour schemes. The process of creating your scarf is expertly explained and Fiona's guidance is knowledgeable, kind and encouraging. Lunch provided (which was delicious) plus tea and cake to keep you going. I'd definitely take part in another of Fiona's courses. Thank you."

Amanda reviewed: Gelli Plate Experimental Monoprinting.

"I really enjoyed this course. Fiona is warm and friendly. She explained the techniques clearly, showing us how to develop abstract designs and then more structured prints. We had plenty of time to experiment and didn't feel rushed. It was lovely to have the freedom to try different things and just see what I could create. "

Fiona Setchell Artist Tutor responded:

"Thank you Amanda. You created a wonderful, creative collection of prints. You must frame some to put on display. It was lovely to meet you. All the best. Fiona. "

Helen Ure reviewed: Gelli Plate Experimental Monoprinting.

"Had a fantastic day at this workshop experimenting (playing) with Gelli plate monoprinting. Fiona's teaching enabled this first timer to create some pieces that she is very pleased with. Fiona works at a pace to suit and is ready to answer questions. The studio is peaceful and very well stocked. During the day there were delicious cakes with tea or coffee and a fantastic lunch overlooking the garden. This workshop provided me with a day away from a busy life - I am not so good at relaxing by doing nothing and this workshop provided a relaxing activity. The workshop was totally absorbing and tapped into my rarely used creativity. The time flew by. I plan to book again with Fiona and develop my skills in this interesting approach to printing. I highly recommend Fiona and this workshop."

Fiona Setchell Artist Tutor responded:

"Thank you Helen. I had a great day too, your enthusiasm was just brilliant and I loved the series of prints that you created. I will be running a follow on course that I will send you details about and this will be available to book through Craftcourses shortly. I look forward to seeing you again for another fun and relaxing workshop day."

Catherine Hemsley reviewed: Christmas stamp carving and printmaking workshop. Evening workshops.

"We had a lovely creative evening, really fun, and it was encouraging to be able to produce such surprisingly good stamps so easily. Fiona is a great teacher, working at the right pace, showing and talking through it. Nice to have all the materials supplied and to be able to take the stamps etc home. Also she makes very good cakes!"

Fiona Setchell Artist Tutor responded:

"Thank you for your kind words, so pleased you enjoyed the workshop."

Moira Brown reviewed: Silk Scarf Painting with Fiona Setchell

"A really relaxing, enjoyable day with a difference. The environment was very inspiring with all the different colours and designs around. Fiona guided us through the various stages at a pace that suited us. The refreshments were lovely giving us a chance to take a short break. If you want to forget about the world for a little while this will certainly take you into another world. Great sence of achievement when you go home with your scarf....."

Diana Mulliner reviewed: Silk Scarf Painting with Fiona Setchell

"Fiona is very friendly & everyone who attends her course gets a warm welcome. The course is held in a warm art studio & all materials are provided with a choice of designs and verbal instructions & tips from Fiona which are easy to understand. Drinks & snacks are provided throughout the day & a light lunch is also included. I would recommend this course as it is fun and at the end of the day you have a lovely silk scarf to wear that has your own unique design."

Louise reviewed: Silk Scarf Painting with Fiona Setchell

"Fiona is very friendly and welcoming and gives clear instructions and helpful tips. She provides a relaxed atmosphere, in a comfortable setting with plentiful tasty food and drinks. There was a choice of designs and a good variety of colours to choose from or a chance to use your own design and mix colours. The scarves are ready hemmed so you will go home with a completed and very wearable unique silk scarf. An excellent day, great value for money."
