Michele reviewed: Silver Jewellery - Ring Making

"Silver ring making course was brilliant! Jenny made it very relaxed and easy to follow. Came home with a lovely hand made silver stunner. Very happy ? Would go on another course, definitely. Maybe come home with some earrings to match next time. Thanks Jenny and thanks Jacquie for finding it and coming with me."

Lynne reviewed: Introduction to Candlemaking

"I did Wendy's candle-making course and loved it. We all went away with 7 candles, learnt a load of techniques we can use at home to make some more and had a fun afternoon with some lovely people. I am going back for more of Wendy's classes."

"A very relaxing afternoon spent learning about the basics of candle making. As well as coming away with some lovely little candles to light at home, I'm enthused to have another go at making some on my own."

Nicky reviewed: Beaded Snowflakes

"This was the first course we had been too and we will definitely be back. The class was well run and although we all had different levels of experience, everyone was allowed to at there own pace and help was always available when needed. We all came a way with a beautiful snowflake and kits to make more."

"Had a fantastic Saturday morning making the beaded snowflake decoration. Wendy is very patient and reassuring that you can in fact do what at first seems like an impossibility. Absolutely love my snowflake and have bought another kit to do at home with the wonderful instruction leaflet that was provided."

Cath Walsh reviewed: Macrame - Plant Hangers

"When you're learning from scratch it's reassuring to have someone watching and guiding you through the tricky stages. Wendy was friendly and attentive which meant mistakes were picked up quickly and corrected. The atmosphere was relaxed and convivial. I ended up with a piece of craft that I'm proud of and feel confident to attempt it again on my own. Thank you."

"A lovely little course, perfect in the run up to Christmas. Well conveyed verbal instructions backed up by clear concise written instructions and diagrams that were printed to take home. A wide range of papers to choose from, both in size and theme. All in all very enjoyable and very informative."

MARILYN HOLE reviewed: Silver Jewellery Workshop

"As a complete beginner to using the tools etc I found the class really interesting, I'd definitely do another. I would have loved to have seen more of Jenny's work, maybe an introduction right at the beginning with a coffee and examples of her work to see what we can aspire to! Thanks, Marilyn"

"I really enjoyed myself and I'm so happy my mum brought me along! You can get through a lot, and it's very do-able at home. Thank you for teaching us and answering questions. Your store/workshop space is amazing also."

Vikki reviewed: Paper Making - Hand Made Recycled Paper

"This class was really good value, it is amazing what you can learn in a couple of hours. Wendy was a friendly teacher that explained things well as she talked us through making a deckle ( frame to make paper in) and did a demonstration of what we were going to do to make our paper. It was great fun deciding what to include in each sheet and exciting to see how each piece came out. Wendy was on hand to remind us of the steps and we were given a handout detailing the process as well as our deckles to take home. We were a small group of 4, it was nice meeting the others taking part. Wendy also packaged up our still damp creations ( I made 3 pieces others made 4/5) so that we could take them home to let them dry out properly. I loved what I made and will be turning my paper into gift tags. I will be making more at home but would definitely like to visit The Little Craftery to do some more craft courses with Wendy. Thank you Wendy!"

"This was my first ever class on jewellery making & I absolutely loved it! Wendy was very welcoming & her teaching way is very relaxed & encouraging. With the class taking place in her studio you gain such inspiration for lots of other helmweave items she has on show. I look forward to attending other classes at The Little Craftery to broaden my knowledge on chainmail technics under the expert tutelage of Wendy. Absolutely fabulous! 10/10 *****"

"I attended a paper making workshop with Wendy. She's a great teacher, everything was ready for us and we followed the process step by step with Wendy's encouragement. We enjoyed tea and refreshments whilst discovering the techniques of paper making. We each went home with a mould and deckle and the skills to make paper at home. Can't wait to get started. Highly recommended."
