"What a delight! The course was clearly delivered and very inclusive - carefully paced and all styles of learning catered for. Laura was a brilliant teacher and encouraged a supportive and creative environment for us to achieve beautiful results. The style of printing is very accessible and the kit list which Laura provides means I feel very able and confident to continue with this craft. A treasure of a day. I would thoroughly recommend it!"

"This was a very enjoyable and informative course in pleasant surroundings. Laura explained the techniques involved clearly and supported each student in the creative process. Everyone produced prints by the end of the course. The follow up information sheet will be useful and saved making notes on the day. The lunch provided was delicious, the company great. Thoroughly recommended, thank you Laura. "

Laura Sowerby Prints Cumbria responded:

" Dear Kath, it’s so gratifying to know you enjoyed the day as much as me and on top of it, you have a lovely print to show for it. It was so nice to meet you and spend the day together. I’ve just sent you the details about suppliers. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with . Happy printing. Best wishes, Laura"
