Val reviewed: Christmas Wreath 3

"This was an excellent course. Most enjoyable and relaxing. The tuition was superb giving guidance on technique at stages throughout the morning and then leaving the individuals to design their own wreathes to suit them with assistance as required. The greenery was varied and fresh straight from the garden and the decorations were plentiful and varied. Festive fare was brought round too. "

Kathy reviewed: Silver Jewellery with Sea Glass

"The course was excellent I learnt new skills from scratch and the tutor was patient and calm with a about 8 people learning. I would definitely do another course the venue was excellent. The sea glass course pm session takes longer and I think may have been helpful to have an assistant for the tutor with 8 people as there is a lot to do after lunch fixing the back plate and ring however she did this with us all and it was brilliant Thank you "
