Linda reviewed: Adventures in book binding with Ali Reeve

"A very relaxing and enjoyable day. Clear guidance and instructions. The class is not too big so individual help is given when needed. "

Andy reviewed: Adventures in book binding with Ali Reeve

"I have no hesitation in giving this course 5 stars. I first looked into book binding over three years ago but never really got further than buying a number of tools, partly because a course I'd planned on attending was discontinued. I was therefore delighted to receive Ali Reeves' course as a Christmas present from my wife. I attended the course yesterday and to say it exceeded my expectations is an understatement. Ali presented the course in an informal but instructive and informative manner and both she and her husband were very welcoming and hospitable (even providing tea and donuts). The class was not small (I am guessing there were approaching 20 of us) but Ali was easy to hear and follow, and she was able to give students the individual attention they needed when they needed it. I was one of the slow member of the group, but even I was able to produce 4 differently bound booklets in the time available - most of the class managed 5. At the end of the class there was a real sense of personal achievement. I am now training my wife - partly because I think she'll enjoy it but, equally, because it is a great way of consolidating my learning. The range of tools that Ali made available for (optional) purchase, designed & manufactured by her husband, were used throughout the course and were, for me, a must buy - especially given the very reasonable price. Be warned, I suspect this is addictive and I've already been spending on Amazon since the course."

"Excellent teacher, patient, gave clear and informative instructions Generous with materials and time. Great choice of materials to choose from. Incredible value for money. Would highly recommend. Only criticism was no natural light in the work room, but not a major issue. Don’t be put off by it. "
