Rachel Pawsey reviewed: Modern calligraphy (full day workshop) - Hampshire

"The modern calligraphy course I went to was fantastic; Sunita expertly shared her knowledge in a patient and clear way to enable all the attendees to get the most out of the day. I enjoyed the small group tuition as well as the bigger group discussion and appreciated how approachable and willing Sunita was to help us out individually. I came away feeling like I had the skills needed to practice what I had learnt, along with the resources to help me. Thank you for a great day Sunita- I would recommend this course wholeheartedly, in fact I have already to many of my friends!"

Elinor reviewed: Candle Making Course with Belisama Candles (A Peta approved brand )

"Such a brilliant idea to offer this course and after attending one myself I highly recommend it. I really enjoyed learning about the background of the business and the candle making process. Great value for money and Sharon really knows her stuff so the whole experience is 5*! Since finding belisama candles I've never bought any other kind. Hands down the best candles around."

Charlotte Adams reviewed: Animal clay sculpture workshops with Jill Collier

"I have been to several of Jill's workshop and I would love to go to loads more! Jill is an amazing teacher and supports me along with other members of the workshop with ease. I'm a very keen artist but with no experience and this is a brilliant way for me to spend my time. I highly recommend to everyone no matter what skill level as Jill breaks it down into easy manageable steps. Overall a fantastic experience!"

Jane reviewed: Winter Woodland beauty- natural cosmetic making from woodland plants and trees

"Amazing course I was kept busy all day. Lots to smell, try and make. Well paced and plenty to do and take home. Rachel treated us all as individuals and tailored the afternoon of the course to our tastes/ desires. Lots of tea, buns and a warm fire too what more can a girl want? Can’t wait for her next course."

Lea reviewed: Absolute beginners silver clay jewellery workshops

"I have just finished a silver clay day with Scarlett & oh my gosh it was a brilliant day, I made the most lovely 3D pendant & it has raised up flowers & leaves & a little bird that I actually made myself. I'm so excited now & I want to make more jewellery with silver clay,I will definitely be coming back to make a silver clay bracelet with Scarlett. The workshop was so relaxed with her & she was so patient with me because I was a little slow at times but she encouraged me the whole time until I was confident enough to finish my jewellery. I did the flower fairies workshop with her last year & I can honestly say these workshops have been some of the most fun things I've ever done.I recommend 100%, if I could give 10 stars I would, & you get a lot for your money."

Scarlets Fairy Folk responded:

"..Wow what a review, I feel very humble by the reviews I am getting and yours is no exception.. I am so happy you enjoyed yourself.. you did very well with your pendant.. I never rush anyone during creating, we all work and learn at different speeds and I respect that.. and you were not slow at all.. Hope to see you again soon Lea.. I think you would do very well on the Silver Clay bracelet workshop.. Sx"

Claire Booth reviewed: Pottery Throwing (Group Discounts Available) Lessons in Worcester

"Chris was really knowledgable and very friendly. It was great to see from a lump of clay how easy it is to form into something handmade! It would have been great to have had a little longer as the decorating felt a bit rushed."

Chris Greening Pottery responded:

"Many thanks for the review Claire. The pots were lovely and just right for that tapas and nibbles evening! Best wishes, Chris."

Kirsti reviewed: Natural Cold Process Soap making workshop with refreshment near to Bristol

"Being widowed, Valentine's Day is usually a 'non-event' for me. This year I decided to do something about this and booked Sonia's soap-making course on 14.2. What a brilliant day it was! With Sonia's help, I produced two lots of gorgeously scented soaps. As a special extra, Sonia also let me make some beautiful heart-shaped soaps. My disability means that I cannot stand unaided or carry things, so Sonia did those steps of the soap-making that required lifting and carrying. Sonia is a brilliant, patient teacher and I felt completely at ease with her. I recommend Sonia's soap-making course to anyone thinking of starting an interesting new hobby. It would also be a nice hen party event or a fun-filled birthday present for someone special."

Zenken Limited responded:

"Thanks for your recommendation. Kirsti, I am really pleased that you enjoyed my course!"

Ruth Elliott reviewed: Wax wrap workshop with tea and cake, East Yorkshire.

"The course went well. There was a good choice of fabrics and we certainly learnt how to make the wraps. Plenty of refreshments. Tutor waffled a little and we had to wait around a bit for equipment to warm up and queue for the irons. Other than this it would have been Excellent. Very good value."

Nicola D reviewed: Weave a scarf in a day - handloom weaving

Natalie Thomas reviewed: Winter Woodland beauty- natural cosmetic making from woodland plants and trees

"This was a great hands-on, full day of making. It was well structured, with Rachel guiding us through soap making in the morning, then giving us freedom to have a go at the other bits like salves and bath bombs later in the day. It was a lovely friendly atmosphere and I went away with an incredible collection of bath time goodies!"

Norman Thornton reviewed: Learn to Turn in the Dartmoor National Park

"I completed a day course with Chris in Feb 20, I wanted to work with wood and a wood turning course is what interested me. I could not have wished for a better tutor Chris is a very good teacher and as a novice, having a relaxed approach by Chris and one to one instruction was a huge bonus. I had a thoroughly enjoyable day and turned a beautiful beech bowl. Great value and learned a great deal thank you Chris !!!"

Nicky Whitton reviewed: Carry all/tote bag short course

"A great Christmas gift from my brother in law. My sister, my niece and I had a fantastic day last Sunday making leather tote bags. With so much choice of colours/styles of leather we were really spoilt for choice and took our time choosing our personal favourites. The day flew by as we cut out our pieces, glued, then sewed the bits together (having practiced our skills on the different sewing machines). Deborette was a wonderful tutor, putting us all at ease and helping whenever and wherever needed, as well as providing plenty of drinks, biscuits and lunch. The finished products all looked very professional, and are all obviously unique. I know I would like to go back and make another one, and would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of taking part."
