Lisa Robinson reviewed: Bev Caleno – Tuffet Making Weekend at Old Bank Studios

"The course was excellent and very enjoyable. Bev, and husband Nigel, were so welcoming and friendly. Everything was well explained and broken down into a series of simple steps, resulting in perfect Tuffets for everyone. A lovely working environment, lots of tea and coffee throughout the day, with lovely home cooked lunches both days, and the opportunity to work with like minded people. What could be better? I can highly recommended the course and hope to do another before too long. Thank you Bev and Nigel."

Old Bank Studios responded:

"Thank you Lisa, it was a real pleasure to have you at our studios and what a beautiful Tuffet. Bev and Nigel"

Diane Hall reviewed: Contemporary Panel (2 day workshop) at Old Bank Studios

"I absolutely love doing the work shops hosted by Bev and Nigel of Old Bank Studios. A truly wonderful environment with tutors that embrace their abilities. I have done many workshops here and they are always so helpful and informative resulting in a piece of work to take home that you can be proud of, even for the not so confident. This course run by Alex Waylett is a good combination of machine embroidery, applique and Lumiere paints. I would 100% recommend this to anyone with machine stitch embroidery experience. Runs again in August, check the website and see you there!!"

Wendy reviewed: Art to Stitch - 5 sessions with Alex Waylett

"Fabulous ideas taught by an inspiring teacher. It's certainly taken me out of my comfort zone as far as the art techniques are concerned and enabled me to improve my free machine embroidery skills. The venue is capacious, light and airy with on-tap tea and coffee. I've really enjoyed it and would recommend the course."
