Jane reviewed: One day stained glass workshop London for beginners and enthusiasts

"My daughter (12) and I had a lovely 2 days with Tajal. We thoroughly enjoyed the fully hands on course and the instructions given were clear and helpful. We came away with a stained glass piece each to hang at home. I would happily recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning a new skill. Thanks so much Tejal, we may see you again for the next course. :-) (NB Covid safety measures used gave us extra confidence in being at the class.)"

Tracey Prust reviewed: A day of interior design

"I have just completed a five week interior design course with Nikki. I now have a mood board created with all my ideas. Inspired by Nikki’s interactive and professional teaching and complete with a scaled drawing, with new found confidence I feel ready to transform my bedroom. Nikki creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere in her beautiful, inspirational home to learn these invaluable skills, complete with delicious coffee and tea cakes. Over five very enjoyable weeks, not only have I learnt a lot but I feel I have also made a new friend Thank you Nikki, I loved every minute."

Rhiannon Williams reviewed: Arm Knit Wreath Online Workshop

"Such a lovely kit! Great communication from Lyndsey about my colour choices and shipping, and the kit arrived really quickly. It had all the materials I needed to make the wreath. The video instructions were excellent - slow and thorough enough that I managed to make the wreath with ease as a complete beginner to arm knitting. The completed wreath is a beautiful cosy festive decoration, which will definitely be the star of my Christmas decor! This is the perfect kit if you want to try out arm knitting or want a cosy, relaxing craft to do."

Crafting with Lyndsey responded:

"Thanks so, so much Rhiannon for your lovely feedback, I am so pleased you liked the arm knit wreath workshop. Thanks so much for your purchase. I hope you have a lovely Christmas."

Rhys Griffiths reviewed: Make your own Leather Apron for the BBQ, Crafting, Utility, Workshop

"I thoroughly enjoyed this craft workshop. Lovely relaxed atmosphere with participants being encouraged to choose their own materials and their own style for the apron. The emphasis was on what you intended to use the apron for rather than follow a pattern and turn out an item the same as everyone else's. I know I learned up a few techniques that I will use again. In fact I suspect I will be booking this or a similar workshop again. I particularly enjoyed the stitching. Very satisfying!"

Jenny Fitzgerald reviewed: Beginners Christmas Large Chunky Wreath Kit

Pauline Astle reviewed: Soap Making Course for beginners with Soap Ingredients Kit

"Because of current restrictions, the course was online which had the advantages of not having to travel and my daughter could join in too! It was really good value for money with a detailed information booklet and video from which we were able to make our first basic batch of soap, followed up with a one to one online tutorial. Making our first batch from the instructions and video was great fun and gave me a good understanding of the process before my online tutorial with Paula. She took me through the factors involved in varying recipes and I planned a couple of recipes with Paula's help based on my personal preferences. The tutorial was scheduled to suit me and lasted as long as I needed (two and a half hours) which enabled me to ask questions and ensure that I understood everything clearly to make more soap variations. Paula is so passionate about what she does and she has really inspired me to experiment with soap making further. I can't wait to get started!"

Old Bexley Soap & Candle Co. responded:

"Thank you Pauline, I enjoyed teaching you. Best of luck with your new experiments."

Margaret Jones reviewed: Christmas Twist Beeswax Candle Making Kit.

"Bought these for isolated mother and mother in law who were fed up! I wanted something beautiful and practical, that they could make and feel a sense of achievement without having to spend long hours as too big a project is beyond them right now. Worked perfectly - they loved getting the parcel and making the candles and apparently my Christmas presents from them are now sorted (wonder what that could be...!) Very impressed with presentation and quality - thank you"

Rowhill Candles responded:

"Many thanks for your review, which is appreciated. I was pleased to hear that both recipients of your gift enjoyed making the candles. Brian - Rowhill Candles."
