Celia Busby reviewed: Glass Fusion - Garden Piece

"This was the second glass fusion course that I've done with Sally and I can't recommend her courses highly enough. She gives simple, clear instructions and demonstrates the techniques necessary then allows you to create something yourself which is unique and beautiful. She is endlessly patient and encouraging, the perfect combination in a tutor! I will certainly be looking forward to joining many more of her classes in the future. "

Phil Cleaver reviewed: Blacksmithing Introductory Workshop - One Day

"I have an interest and crafts especially metalwork so this course was a wonderful birthday present to receive. The course tutor John went through some basic smithing skills producing a range of small pieces of work. All these techniques combined into us making a toasting fork. The classes are only very small so you receive a high level of instruction and help as and when you need it. You have to respect the heat in general and especially around the hearth of the forge, equipment and metalwork itself. John was very good at going through all of the health and safety explaining the potential risks whilst being practical about how we would all work together safely. All in all, I found his way of teaching was informative, interesting and above all great fun. It's fair to say my 'level' of work was very basic but at no point did i feel anything but really happy with what i had achieved considering i had no previous experience whatsoever. I would recommend this course to anyone with an interest in blacksmithing and metal craft and already have to a couple of people i work with. A great day course for the beginner!"

Stanwick Lakes Art and Craft Courses responded:

"Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review. We shall pass your comments onto the tutor. We are glad that you enjoyed the day. Best wishes, The Stanwick Lakes team."

Andreas Rose reviewed: Blacksmithing Introductory Workshop - One Day

"A really fun, informative and creative day! The development of skills was progressive and each was modelled clearly with the tutor explaining why as well as how each step needed to be done, including how to maintain and use the fire to best advantage. John was very proactive regarding safety and in anticipating potential pitfalls, but balanced this with allowing each of us to make and learn from our own mistakes. It was also great to be given quite a bit of historical information. Obviously, this was just a one day introduction, but it has left me with a hunger to do more, and possibly explore some of John’s other specialities of copper and tin work. Thoroughly recommended."

Stanwick Lakes Art and Craft Courses responded:

"Thank you for taking the time to leave us a great review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the course and shall let the course tutor know. Best wishes, The Stanwick Lakes Team."

We had a great time painting seaside beach huts and our teacher had so many ideas suggestions and and help for us and the other participants. Thank you so much, we are hoping to do Oils or Acrylics next time "

Z Morgan reviewed: Glass Suncatcher Copper Foiling Workshop

"Jo is very patient and the day was so relaxing. It was a lovely group of 6 ladies I’d never met before and it was really enjoyable to learn the basics of copper foiling, and you get to take whatever you create home too. Only thing I will say regarding the lunch break - the kitchen should pre order the food, by the time the jacket potatoes and paninis had come out it was actually time to go back in for the afternoon session. Not a reflection on the actual course though which is great. "

Stanwick Lakes Art and Craft Courses responded:

"Thank you for taking the time to leave us a lovely review. We shall pass your feedback onto the course Tutor and we are glad you enjoyed the workshop. Our apologies for the oversight of not providing the menu choices before lunch. This will be happening going forward to ensure people don't spend the lunch break waiting for their food. Thank you again for your review. Best wishes, The Stanwick Lakes team."
