"Fantastic day full of new knowledge and techniques to produce an amazing textile design on a cushion cover. Penny is one of the best teachers in helping you to create your own individual designs. The day was not only fun but extremely informative. Really good value for money, I would highly recommend it to anyone. Can't wait for the next one! Brilliant!"

"Penny's great course is inspiration and really educational. You get to learn how to hand design and print a cushion cover, and also have lovely little mini works, which as testers make little pictures. Learning hand printing techniques, colours and playing colour. Things you can take home and carry on with. It was really well worth the money. We had a ball."

"Penny has a knack of motivating all her students, including myself, to excel beyond what they thought they could do. Guidance through examples shows you what can be achieved with just the simplest of materials and I've proudly put my work (now framed) on the wall."
