"What a thoroughly enjoyable day we had making our silk scarves. Ruth is lovely and a very good tutor and gave my friend and I a very warm welcome into her home where the workshop took place. We both left feeling very proud of our achievements and will definitely return to learn more from this very creative knowledgeable lady."

"I went to the Silk Scarf Painting Workshop a few days ago with a few friends to celebrate a friend’s special birthday. It was absolutely wonderful - we all had a great time, had a lot of fun and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We were of quite mixed ability in terms of craft work, but even the person who was slightly anxious about her lack of skills, enjoyed the whole experience. And quite importantly, we were all very pleased with the final results! Ruth was a brilliant teacher with the right level of support, encouragement and inspiration. Thanks Ruth."

The Arty Silkworm responded:

"Hi Kathy I am so glad that you had a great day. Your scarf was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for your lovely review, I hope to see you again soon Warm wishes Ruth ?"

"Thank you Ruth for a really wonderful day. I had no arty skills at all, yet made a beautiful scarf, with expert tuition. Lovely surroundings, social distancing was perfect, just four of us around a large kitchen table, with our masks on. Felt very safe. Didn't know what to expect, was very pleasantly surprised to find skills I did not know I had. A brilliant birthday present from my son and daughter in law. Thank you so much."

The Arty Silkworm responded:

"Hi Pat, I'm so glad you had a lovely day and felt safe in these difficult times. The small classes are great for social distancing and also for lots more individual attention. Your progression through your samplers and then to your gorgeous scarf, was just lovely. I do hope you enjoy wearing it and get many compliments ? Best wishes and see you again soon Ruth~ The Arty Silkworm ?"

"We were the first post lock down group. Just three of us so plenty of space. Very relaxing day with no need to be 'arty' at all. Took lunch outside so good to be mask free for that time. Came away with 2 samples which will make 2 cushion fronts and a wearable scarf. Very productive day. A scarf is included in the price but it's a little extra for one you can wear multi ways. Thank you Ruth"

The Arty Silkworm responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review and I’m so glad you enjoyed the workshop Anne; it was a super day. Your lovely big scarf was really beautiful and so vibrant, I hope you enjoy wearing it in all its versatility. Best wishes Ruth"

It is such a great day being able to work along side friendly people in a relaxed atmopshere. I would still highly recommend this craft day and can’t wait to attend again. Thank you Ruth x"

"Had an amazing day! I’m not very arty, very much a beginner. Found whole experience so therapeutic and relaxing. Just being mindful and clearing your mind felt good. Beats usual mad rushing about supermarket Saturday - highly recommend! Ruth amazing teacher - full of encouragement. Will definitely go again!"

"Thank you Ruth for a great day with a lovely group of people. Sampling colours and techniques in the morning led to the production of a silk scarf in the afternoon, and everyone was completely thrilled with the results, which were sometimes unexpected but always brilliant! Ruth was consistently supportive and helpful and I'd love to do it again one day."

The Arty Silkworm responded:

"So glad you enjoyed the day Karen. Your scarf wasreally beautiful. I look forward to seeing you again soon for some more Silk magic. Best wishes Ruth x"

"I've been on two courses and they were both really great. I had never tried silk painting before but with Ruth's explanation, patients and encouragement I throughly enjoyed it. The courses are set in beautiful surroundings and you get to make new friends, I went with my daughter and when we got in the car to leave we both commented about how relaxed we felt. I would highly recommend these courses, not only do you come away with some great art work and a fabulous silk scarf, you also come away feeling stress free and relaxed."

"Although I have been doing Watercolour painting for a few years, I have never painted on silk, and imagined it to be very difficult. Therefore it was with some trepidation that I struggled through the snow to Ruth's house. However, there was absolutely nothing to worry about. Ruth was such an enthusiastic and patient instructor that whatever technique we used we all seemed to produce something wonderful. We had a really lovely day and I, for one, found the whole experience very therapeutic. All those who have seen my finished scarf have been very impressed and interested in trying it for themselves. Thank you Ruth, not only for all the coffee, but for a wonderful experience. I hope to be back again soon."

A fun and interesting time was had by all and we had the pleasure of Ruth's expertise, enthusiasm and generosity. I urge you to book, you'll have a great time and come away with new skills and a scarf that will amaze your family and friends."

"A completely different experience for me. I’m not artistic and would never have thought of signing up for a Silk Painting course, especially having seen the beautiful scarves Ruth has produced. However, she persuaded me to go along and try it, and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Ruth was just so generous with her time and suggestions – and endless cups of tea and coffee! I not only amazed myself with the scarf I made but friends couldn’t believe I had achieved anything so pretty. There was much encouragement all round and fun to see what other folk had created. A wonderful course and one I would highly recommend anyone to have a go at. A very special thanks to Ruth."

"I have never tried Silk painting before and Ruth made it a wonderful experience - you could not ask for a better instructor. She explained everything clearly and concisely and nothing was too much trouble. She allowed me to be creative and allow my artistic side to run free with her beautiful colours and wonderful silks. I have a lovely scarf that every time I wear gets wonderful compliments. I am planing to return with my daughters for a course in the summer and I would totally recommend The Arty Silkworm to anyone who would like to try a new craft and have a beautiful hand made item to take home and wear. You will truly have a one off item."
