Jan John reviewed: Tree stump planter workshop! 1 day sculpture workshop using Pal Tiya Premium

"We had a brilliant day with Bob and Joe, they made us feel very welcome and made our tree planter creations so much better with all their knowledge and advice. The workshop was great to work in with a constant window of activity outside with the bird feeders. A must if you would like to have a go with Pal Tiya a clay like medium with clever hardening properties. I will be booking to have another go. Thank you"

Marie THOMAS reviewed: Introduction to ceramics- 7 week Tuesday course plus Raku day

"As a first timer this has been a great experience. I found it very relaxing and therapeutic. Bob and Joe are great at what they do and teach. The workshop numbers (max 8) are great so Bob and Joe are able to provide attention to each of us when required. I'm booked for my 2nd workshop and my husband in tow this time. Thoroughly recommend."

"Brilliant day. I have a monster of a Gargoyle, rather than a Green Man. It was amazing how different all our works were and it was much easier than I had expected. It was a easy trip from Kings Lynn and we even got to bird watch while eating lunch. Thanks guys"

"I have had another lovely day with a great group of people and learning sculpting with Joe and Bob. Second time at The Shire Workshops making things for my garden. Always enjoyable working with your hands. In our modern world we need more opportunities to be creative. I think Joe and Bob are running one of the best places to enjoy artistic experiences. Thanks to CraftCourses for promoting places like this."
