"Great day at this mixed media workshop. Mandy made everything so easy. Really friendly and great workshop layout. She was really generous with tips, hints, experience, help, advice. Took home a fantastic box frame with my mixed media design inside. My husband thought it was so pretty and unusual. So so happy with all the things I learned today. Can’t wait until I’m free for another workshop. Thank you Mandy. X"

Her cards are very professional and she is extremely knowledgeable about her craft. Looking forward to the next workshop."

"I took my mom along to the Easter Mix course today. And we had such a great time. Mandy was lovely, friendly and very talented. She is full of knowledge and we loved that. As soon as we walked in the kettle was on. My mom was struggling for ideas for crafts until she came along here. She's now bursting with ideas and can't wait to start making. We will certainly be coming back. A great mothers day gift. Will do this more often."

"As someone who would describe myself as not being creative at all and a complete novice to crafting, I accompanied my sister to one of Mandy's workshops not really knowing what to expect. What a delightful experience it turned out to be. Mandy provides all the tools and materials you could possibly need to complete the workshop (just don't forget your specs :), in a wonderfully friendly environment. She shows you what to do and lets you get on with it, with really helpful hints, tips and encouragement along the way. The afternoon whizzed by and I would really recommend it. If you are feeling a bit shy and not sure whether to sign up to a workshop, I would say give it a try - you are sure of a smashing session with lovely people, and you'll pick up an unexpected skill along the way."

"Can't recommend Mandy's workshops highly enough. Mandy creates a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where she works her magic with knowledge and gentle guidance. She has turned me from someone with no crafting experience into a person who is proud to show off her artwork. I look forward to all my visits, everyone is so friendly. Workshops are affordable and excellent value for money.. keep up the great work Mandy"

"These courses are absolutely wonderful, and I have learnt so much there. I feel a lot more confident in my abilities and have tried techniques and mediums I would have never dreamed of. The people are so friendly and welcoming that I always feel at home and love going just as much to see them as to do the workshop. If you are an avid crafter or just starting out ... this is the place for you. ??"

"These courses are amazing. You get to use different mediums that normally you pass by because it looks difficult but at gifts from the heart you can try everything.

"Mandy's courses are excellent, the venue is lovely and she cannot help you enough. I have learnt loads, and used lots of different types of media I would never have a chance to usually. She designs some lovely pieces and is very patient with us as we make them. A great couple of hours with lovely people, I thoroughly recommend Gifts From The Heart."
