Carola Martin-Smith reviewed: Batik for Beginners

"I would give this course 10 stars if I could! Jan is a brilliant teacher - and so inspiring. She makes you think you can achieve anything. As a complete beginner in all things to do with textiles, I found this SO reassuring. Jan's teaching style is lovely - relaxed and informal - lots of laughter and fun which encourages creativity. Whatever level of experience you go in with, she tailors her teaching to you as an individual. Jan works hard to use techniques that re-cycle and re-use all sorts of bits and pieces and so you don't have to buy expensive equipment when you want to carry on doing what you've learned at home - very refreshing. I've taken a few of Jan's courses now and I have loved every one of them. The surroundings are stunning, the studio is warm and welcoming and the catering is out of this world. I always feel like I've had a lovely long holiday after I've been there - don't know how else to describe it - it's magical! All I can say is, if you have the opportunity to go - grab it - you won't be disappointed - and you will probably get hooked!"

Maggie reviewed: Batik for Beginners

"I loved this course! I was delighted batiked fabrics I created and with the transferable skills and techniques I learned. Jan is an outstanding teacher. The course was well designed and no previous experience was needed. The class was small, we each had plenty of Jan’s attention. Jan facilitated a positive group experience with opportunities to share ideas and learn from each other. The variety of marks and designs we produced was impressive. I enjoyed two whole days of creativity and fun in the inspiring surroundings of Jan’s studio and stunning highland scenery; Jan’s delicious cooking was a bonus."

Pat Thornton reviewed: Paper Making with Plants

"Excellent course. One of many I have taken with Jan over the years. Your day starts with a wonderful welcome from Jan in this beautiful, tranquil location. It was so much fun learning how to turn plants into paper then using these pieces for printing. Everything is very relaxed and enjoyable. Jan provides the most wonderful tea, coffee, homemade cakes and lunch......and lots of laughter! I returned home with a beautiful bound book of all my work, and lovely memories. You are in for a treat!"
