Mary Oshea reviewed: Brush Calligraphy Workshop - Saturday Afternoons

"Really enjoyed this. I started off badly, but with Jen’s encouragement, I felt I learned a lot and improved in just a few hours! Ready to do some at home now. Thank you. Very glad I went"

Jen Roffe responded:

"Thank you Mary, I'm so glad you enjoyed the afternoon, it was a pleasure to meet you. Just for the record you didn't start off badly at all (!) but your understanding and confidence grew during the workshop which meant you could see a real improvement from the first hour to the last! Enjoy doing some more lettering at home. Very best wishes, Jen"

Teresa reviewed: Brush lettering kit

"I am so glad I did purchase the kit. The presentation box is stunning!! I was so touched and very surprised when I saw a personalised note so beautifully done by Jen herself (not going to spoil the surprise for others). There is so much love and effort put on this kit and it is so inviting to start straight away. I would 100% recommend. Jen is so approachable and happy to share tips and advice if needed. I am very happy and cannot thank Jen enough for making such an inspiring kit. "

Jen Roffe responded:

"Teresa, I'm delighted you loved the kit so much, and thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's so lovely to know all the little extra bits that go into making and putting a kit together really are enjoyed by each recipient! Enjoy using your brush pens!"

Jane C reviewed: Brush Calligraphy Workshop - Saturday Afternoons

"Absolutely loved this workshop. Jen is so lovely and made everyone feel completely at ease. She’s patient and spent time with everyone individually and by the end of the 3 hours we’d all achieved and learned such a lot. Would love to do a follow on workshop with her. "

Jen Roffe responded:

"I'm so glad you enjoyed the workshop Jane, it was lovely to meet you and a lovely way to spend an afternoon! You made really great progress, which was so lovely to see. I hope you feel inspired by your lovely lettering after just 1 workshop and enjoy spending some more time doing calligraphy, now that you've learnt a new craft! Your kits will certainly help with that ; ) Yes I'd love to see you for another workshop soon, and thank you for taking the time to leave some lovely feedback. Best wishes Jen"

Michelle reviewed: Brush Calligraphy Workshop - Saturday Afternoons

"I paid for my Mum to go on this course and she absolutely loved it. She had the best time and said she learned so much. She is now saying she wants to attend another and that it's really encouraged her to keep practising. "

Emma reviewed: Brush Calligraphy Workshop - Saturday Afternoons

"This course was even more enjoyable than I expected. It was the first time I had done a course like this so wasn’t sure what to expect but it was so much fun. All materials provided and all in a lovely room upstairs at Megan’s. Jen was a very patient teacher and took the time to check everybody was getting it and gave tips on how to improve. We came away all having gotten a little bit better than at the start and having lettered a couple of pieces ourselves. Highly recommended 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon- the time whizzes by!"

Jen Roffe responded:

"That's lovely to hear Emma - thank you, I'm so glad it went above and beyond what you were already expecting to enjoy :) It was a pleasure to meet, and teach you, and it was lovely to see your calligraphy develop with more confidence throughout the afternoon!"

Jen Scott reviewed: Brush Calligraphy Workshop - Saturday Afternoons

"What a lovely way to spend an afternoon! On entry all our materials were laid out beautifully with names on all our place cards. The venue itself (Megan’s) was also lovely with staff at hand to take drinks orders. Although using the brush pens took some concentration, the process became really relaxing and although there were no great expectations or pressure for an amazing end result, we all saw great improvement from beginning to end! I would really recommend the course and hope to come again to another course in the future."

Jen Roffe responded:

"I'm so glad you enjoyed the workshop Jen, it really is a lovely way to spend an afternoon! You made great progress, which was so lovely to see. Enjoy spending some more relaxing time doing calligraphy, now that you've learnt a new craft! Hope to see you for another workshop soon :)"

Rose Milford reviewed: Brush lettering kit - modern metallics in colour

"This set is a good present for a beginner. It is not cheap, and not in such nice packaging as the calligraphy set I ordered a while ago, but it contains everything needed to begin."

Rachel Warrillow reviewed: Brush lettering kit

"I bought this kit a while ago but have only just been able to find the time to sit and have a go with it all. I would highly recommend this as a wonderful introduction to brush lettering. It's really comprehensive and easy to follow. There's so much to it, I don't know how it's priced as it is!! I spent a morning doing some practising and then did one of the projects, and I was SO happy with the end result. I showed it to my husband, and he looked bemused. I told him that's what I'd been doing that morning, and he looked amazed, said he thought it was professional. Very happy customer, thanks, Jen!"

Yvonne Jeffcoat Dick reviewed: Brush lettering kit

"What a wonderful package to receive in the post! It was a Pandora's box of goodies, with clear, easy to follow guidelines, practice pages and sturdy card to gift to others with my new found talent! Jen inspires confidence in her step by step instructions and has provided a fabulous formula for beginners like me! It will take me a while to become truly proficient, but I have made a start and am thrilled!"

Caroline reviewed: Brush lettering kit

"Lovely set. An excellent starter kit which comes with a full instruction booklet, practice sheets and pens and also a couple of blank cards and tags for you to add your own beautiful lettering to. Nicely packaged with the personal touch. I bought this for myself but it's a lovely gift idea also. So pleased with my purchase."

Jen Roffe responded:

"Thank you Caroline, I'm delighted that you loved you brush lettering kit! And yes - it does make a great gift too :) Best wishes! Jen"

Kat reviewed: Brush lettering kit - modern metallics in colour

"Bought this as a birthday gift for my mum in Australia. She’s a keen card maker, working to a high standard, and always looking for new designs to challenge herself with, but her hand lettering has not reached the level of her cardboard construction skills. Jen, who produces this kit, was beyond helpful, researching the cost to post abroad and providing a bespoke payment option for me and keeping communication open throughout. My mum was really impressed at the presentation and quality of the kit on arrival, and invited a couple of likeminded crafting friends to explore the kit over coffee. They all enjoyed following the written tutorials (with varied success!) and commented that the quality was excellent. Thank you so much for producing something so different for my very-difficult-to-buy-for mother, and for going to such lengths to get it to her in time for her birthday ?"

Jen Roffe responded:

"Thank you so much Kat, I am so pleased that your mum (and her crafting friends!) loved the kit ? I am delighted to have been able to help you out providing a brand new kit for her to enjoy and learn along with. Am glad she had an excellent birthday! Best wishes, Jen"

Anna reviewed: Brush lettering kit

"It took about a week to arrive, but from the moment it came through the letter box I was excited. I love the personal touches and felt it was packaged with care, like it was from a friend! Beautifully presented. Completely thrilled with the content and looking forward to being able to spending time and learning this craft!"

Jen Roffe responded:

"Thank you so much for your review Anna, I am so pleased that you loved the kit :) I do really want you to feel like you're learning along with me, even though its not in person, so it's amazing you got that feeling as soon as you saw the box. I'm excited for you to start learning brush lettering, and can't wait to see your progress! Best wishes, Jen"

Rachel Ellen reviewed: Brush lettering kit

"This kit is beautifully presented and arrived quickly. The pens provided are definitely the best brush pens I've ever used. I started straight away and I can't wait to keep doing more."
