"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. "

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"
