GC reviewed: To the Moon and Back Ceramic Sculpture and Lantern

"This was a great day. Linda was so patient and demonstrated, explained and also helped where needed. She is also fun and provides great cake. More than pleased with my sculpture. When I saw the finished moon and hare after glazing I was almost in tears as I couldn’t believe I had made this."

Julie reviewed: "Smoking Dragons"

"What an excellent day course. A nice small group of students. Clear concise instructions and one to one help where needed. Plenty of time for me to work at my slower pace and create something lovely, while faster workers were adding more detail to their creations. A brilliant day."

GC reviewed: Ceramic moon gazing hares

"Fun and relaxing with wonderful instruction from Linda. Never thought I could make something like this , but (boasting) my hare looks very professional. All the completed hares were individual and quirky thanks to Linda."

GC reviewed: Ceramic Christmas/Winter mouse.

"Another great day with Linda, who is so helpful and made it fun. Also we all chose to have our Mice holding different things , so no 2 were the least bit alike. "

GC reviewed: Ceramic Gothic Crow Sculpture

"This was my first "go" at ceramics. Linda was great. She demonstrated, explained and helped if needed. Very pleased with "my Crawford". I didn't think I could make something like this, but Linda made it easy and enjoyable."

Jan Erskine-Power reviewed: Ceramic moon gazing hares

"Friendly, helpful and down-to-earth instruction. Being unartistic and a newcomer to clay modelling, I was worried that my attempt would look nothing like the lovely figures Linda produces but was so pleased with the end result. Everyone produced a hare - each with their own personality. The quirky and imperfect were embraced which meant it was relaxing and fun. A lovely bit of mindfulness and can’t wait to see what survives the kiln gods in a couple of weeks. Everyone should have a go - you’ll be surprised by what you can achieve, and the world needs more hares!"

Green Man Ceramics responded:

"Thanks for the lovely review, they are all home safe and drying out awaiting their first firing...."

Claire Rowley reviewed: Ceramic moon gazing hares

"A wonderful course. I had no prior experience so did feel a bit nervous; there was no need!! Linda was fabulous, she is a great teacher with a good sense of humour. It was such a positive, fun experience and the results of our efforts were amazing! My daughter and I were so proud of our hares. We enjoyed it so much we have booked for Linda’s Highland Cow workshop. "

Jayne Cassidy reviewed: Large ceramic character hare/figure

"Thanks Jayne, it was nice to meet you, see you in January 😁 "

Lesley reviewed: Highland cow ceramic sculpture workshop

Colleen Wheeler reviewed: Ceramic moon gazing hares

"Had a lovely day with Linda, making the moon gazing hare. She gave good instructions and waited until everybody had caught up before going onto the next instruction. Very easy going and down to earth. I really enjoyed my day. Linda also politely posted my hare due to the distance involved between the workshop and where I live. Looking forward to doing more workshops in the future."

Kat Green reviewed: Green Man Ceramic wall sculpture

"Loved this course, I have never done any pottery befote but Linda the tutor was fantastic at teaching and explaining technique. Would highly recommend."

Helen reviewed: Meadow painting step by step guide with painting kit provided

"Kit arrived quickly and top quality materials included. Tutorials were easy to watch and follow once downloaded, though producing the same result was not as easy as it looked, due entirely to my lack of skill and experience!!! Great fun, relaxing and well worth the price."

Penny reviewed: Brusho hare painting/ step by step guide

"Not what I was expecting. Didn’t realise that I’d need to buy special paints."

Green Man Ceramics responded:

"Hiya Penny, it is a brusho workshop and it does say that you need brusho paints, not sure what else I could do?"

Elizabeth Whitehead reviewed: Moon gazing hare step by step ceramic digital workshop

"Great class, really good instruction easy to follow and having the weight of the clay is so helpful in creating the right sized hare. Totally hooked now, so also made moon hugging hare too."

Dawn Emmerson reviewed: Brusho hare painting/ step by step guide

"Really enjoyed this course. The tutor was very clear and explained each step well, but it was useful to be able to pause the video and go back if needed. It was a good introduction to the different Brusho techniques and was very easy to follow."

Katrina reviewed: Large ceramic character hare/figure

"Linda is an amazing teacher and shows you step by step what to do. Linda encourages you to create what you envision or what you may have seen and supports you in being able to achieve this. Linda’s sessions are always fun and enjoyable and laughs are always had. I very much enjoyed making my hare and really can’t wait for it to come out the kiln and also hope to make another one it is a very addictive craft. Thank you Linda you are fab, and Owen the cook also makes lovely homemade food, very good value for money ?"

Alison Caller reviewed: Ceramic moon gazing hares

"Linda has the amazing ability to simplify the complex steps of building a creature so that even a beginner can produce something they're proud of."
