SallyO reviewed: Glass Bauble blowing experience with Chris

"We had a lovely time as a group of 6. I would do it again and reccomend to everyone. Chris is an excellent teacher, explains clearly, demonstrates and is on hand to help - so gives you a lot of confidence. The actual glass blowing is magical and the end result, with help, is a beautiful bauble. My only feeback is around the time that it takes - it is really interesting to watch each other, but if you are a group you will overrun....especially if you ask lots of questions! "

"We had a great day with Keith on Friday. We both came away with panels we like. Both of us made things that we thought were a bit beyond us but with Keith’s encouragement we were able to be successful. Keith was good at letting us carry on ourselves on the project but was quick to help when he could see we were stumped! [especially me 🤣] Would recommend the course. Thanks again Keith. "

Maggie Hawker reviewed: Learn How to Decoupage Workshop

"Maxine was a wonderful tutor and although I’d unsuccessfully tinkered with decoupage before, I had lots of ‘aaaah, *that’s* where I went wrong!’ moments. Maxine was lovely and explained everything so clearly and concisely. We used three different textures including slate, wood and glass and I came away with a lot more confidence than I went in with! I can now get cracking on the 4 million bottles and bits and bobs I’ve been saving for decoupaging 😄 Thanks Maxine xx"

I Luv Pebbles responded:

"Lovely to meet you too Enjoy your new skill "
