A great choice of recipes and a lovely informative booklet to take home too. I look forward to enjoying and gifting the soap. Thank you Wendy!"

"My friend and I had been really looking forward to doing this course and it didn’t disappoint! Wendy is a very calm and knowledgeable tutor who managed to make two novice crafters feel at ease and confident enough to successfully make two beautiful bracelets that we wear with pride! We’re already planning our next course with Wendy ?"

Denise Langham reviewed: Macrame - Feather

"I have done several of Wendy's courses and have enjoyed all of them. Having done the macrame wreath my friend and I have caught the macrame bug so booked to learn how to do the feathers. As always Wendy gave clear instructions and she is so patient! We are already thinking about the next course we'd like to do. I can highly recommend these courses."

"Loved the macrame class with Wendy! It’s something I wanted to be introduced to and Wendy's clear explanations were very helpful in making it an enjoyable experience. She also gave me a leaflet before I left so I can replicate the experience at home. Will be back for more classes!"

Eugény Couture reviewed: Introduction to Candlemaking

"This was a birthday gift from my partner. As it was a surprise I didn’t know what to expect until the day before I attended. I spent a lovely day with Wendy (I had two courses booked) and had lots of fun making candles with her. She is very patient and knowledgeable so didn’t leave any question unanswered. Her little boutique is very welcoming and tidy so the whole experience was very enjoyable. I think I’ll be able to make candles on my own thanks to her clear teaching + leaflet she gave me before I left."

Tracey Hurran reviewed: Macrame - Wall Hanging

"I attended Wendy's macrame wreath course yesterday with my friend and partner. Wendy was ready with all the materials laid out, examples on show to get ideas and plenty of patience when we asked lots of questions. It was a relaxed atmosphere in a nice workshop. We achieved a lot in the 2 hrs, and it was very satisfying having a finished wreath to take home. There are lots of craft items on display which will entice me back for the other courses that Wendy offers."

"This was a fun and rewarding course, with nigh-on instant gratification! Wendy made it easy to produce lovely pieces of paper from all the unwanted stuff that comes through our letterboxes, plus a variety of pretty embellishments. Outstanding value, easy to replicate at home with the frame provided, and good coffee too!"

Vanessa Gaier reviewed: Macrame - Wall Art

"Wendy was infinitely patient and kind. My best friend and I had her all to ourselves as we grappled with the art of knots by making something that resembled wall art. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and would highly recommend Wendy and her teaching. Lovely little space ❤️"

Jo Taylor reviewed: Natural Cold-Process Soap Making

"I attended this course with a friend who had booked it as a birthday treat for me (brilliant gift idea!). We both enjoyed our morning very much. Wendy's teaching style is relaxed and fun, while at the same time clear and informative with a focus on safety. We learned a lot about the fascinating science of soap making, and the choice of recipes on offer meant that we both came away with enough soap to make some very special Christmas gifts. Highly recommended."
