Vikki Loader reviewed: March Hare Ceramic Sculpture

"Robin was great, I arrived late but she was a very patient kind teacher. Setting, coffee and cake lovely. Hopefully my creation will still look fab after it has been fired. Thank you :)"

Larkswold responded:

"Thank you Vikki - you did so well and we also can’t wait to see your hare glazed & fired! "

Paul Turner reviewed: March Hare Ceramic Sculpture

"Lovely, lovely course, amazing setting, ample tea/coffee and cake. We are really thrilled with our creations, good instruction, plenty of equipment available. Our only negative would be, we felt a bit rushed, so could have done with another half hour to get the basic body shape just so, then all the attachments, heads, legs etc. would have fitted on in a less panic stricken way."

Victoria Loula reviewed: Silversmithing-rings/bangles at Larkswold

"Fabulous silver making workshop in the heart of the beautiful Cotswolds. An amazing location with warm welcoming hosts, set by a bubbling stream with waddling ducks, twinkling fairy lights, endless pots of hot tea & an abundance of delicious homemade cakes - it’s just perfect! The workshop teacher was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We learnt a great deal and handcrafted several beautiful rings that will be treasured for years to come. Can’t wait to go back again soon! Thank you! V&A "

"Thankyou so much Victoria for the glowing review and look forward to seeing you soon. All the best, Melinda & Emma"
