Anna reviewed: Macrame - Wall Art

"Spent a lovely afternoon with a friend doing the macrame wall hanging. Wendy went through the steps at our pace and, when necessary, was excellent at identifying where we had gone wrong and how to correct ourselves. The course could be improved with an handout to remind you of the knots names with ‘how to’ reminders; we were concentrating so much, we forgot to write anything down!"

Kath reviewed: Macrame - Beaded Bracelet

"I absolutely loved my Macrame plant hanger class with you yesterday. My plant is hanging in the window right now. However, I will have to make a new home for the plant as it is too hot there, but I couldn't wait to use my beautiful hanger. I am well impressed with myself for achieving this master piece under your very friendly, relaxed class. I will be telling my sisters all about it tomorrow night on our monthly girlie night. Thank you so much. "

Fiona reviewed: Paper Making - Hand Made Recycled Paper

"My daughter and I had a great time with Wendy learning to make paper. The course was very well organised; all the equipment was laid out ready for us and Wendy was very good at explaining what we needed to do and offering lots of instruction on the different ways we could achieve different effects. She was also very patient and friendly. It was a great way to spend a morning and we are both looking forward to doing our next course. Thank you Wendy."

Terry reviewed: Mosaics for Beginners - West Sussex

"A friend and I attended the beginner mosaics yesterday. We had a lovely time, couldn't believe how absorbing this craft is. Picking colours, types of mosaic, cutting them and the blessed relief when you find a piece to fit! Wendy is patient and knowledgable and (as has previously been mentioned) makes a lovely cuppa. Can't wait to collect our grouted coasters and would definitely recommend this couse."

Ali reviewed: Wet Felted Pots

"I had a great morning creating a wet felted pot with Wendy. It was relaxed, informative and very satisfying Although I'd never done felting before, I came away with a pleasing result. I feel able to have a try at home with the few materials that I chose to purchase afterwards and notes to remind me of the process. A real pleasure."

Lilian reviewed: Mosaics for Beginners - West Sussex

"I attended a mosaics course on Sunday with a friend. Wendy was so friendly and helpful. She gave us lots of advice about how to design our mosaics. We had a wonderful time being creative, drinking cups of tea and singing along to a fabulous playlist. Wendy's workshop is also a lovely shop, stocking craft materials/ tools and lovely handmade mosaics, jewelry and macrame items which would all make great gifts. I will definitely go back for more workshops in the future."

Juliet Wilkes reviewed: Natural Cold-Process Soap Making

"Took this class with my sister and it was fantastic. Wendy is lovely and very knowledgeable. The soap making is really fun and with Wendy talking us through/ showing us the process ( and giving us a handy booklet) I definitely feel confident enough to recreate the process at home. We both made a large block of soap, which makes roughly 7 bars overall and there were loads of options to customise the soap. I would definitely recommend the class!"

Isabelle reviewed: Making Wax Wraps

"I had a very relaxed and enjoyable wax wraps making session. Wendy is really nice, she explains clearly the steps and gives you little tips on the way, never interfering but keeping an eye on you. I made many more wraps that I expected, and they look better than the ones I had from shops, besides the pleasure to have made them myself ! Really worth it, and recommended !"
