Was so easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. Both my daughter and I really enjoyed the day and as a kickstart to her birthday, it was a huge success. Thank you Julie for making the morning so special. I am going to be recommending her forward!"

J Coleman reviewed: Full day design and make blacksmithing class

"Bought the design and make day as a gift for my husband for Christmas and so glad I did. He really enjoyed it all, started with a keyring to get the feel, then made 2 decorative hanging basket brackets by the end of the day. Matt is very experienced and is clear in his instructions so my husband was able to be very hands on with the brackets. Welfare facilities on hand, parking on site, set in lovely countryside. Even managed to have a meal at a lovely pub before heading home. Such a great day, thank you Matt, I'll come and do it next. "

Kez was very friendly and is a great teacher. Highly recommended. "

Philippa Snellgrove reviewed: Small outdoor plaster hare sculpture kit (30cm) with full video instructions by Jo Garden Art

"This is such a fabulous crafting experience. I was gifted the small hare sculpture kit and made time over the Easter holiday to concentrate on making it. The kit itself is brilliantly put together and carefully packed, with top quality materials from the paintbrush through to the gilt paint. I followed Jo's video tutorial which was perfect. As Jo was making her hare in real time it allowed me to keep up without feeling pressured, and in fact made it feel a bit like I had some company as I crafted as well! It really doesn't take that long to make although I did leave my painted hare to dry overnight. I had one minor query when my plaster cracked a little as it dried and I emailed Jo, who came back very quickly with some helpful advice. A fabulous experience from start to finish, and I am delighted with my final moon-gazing hare 'bronze' scuplture."

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Philippa - what a lovely review 🤗. So glad you enjoyed the process and ended up with your lovely moon gazing hare - thank you for sharing the photos with me. The side profile of your hare's head and folded back ears is just gorgeous. Well done! Jo x"
