Wendy Arnold reviewed: Beginners Pottery Day Course

"I booked the course as a birthday present for my husband, Barry, and I went with him to observe. What a wonderful day! When we arrived we were greeted by Mathew and Rachel who are a lovely, welcoming couple. The course was wonderful. Mathew is an exceptional instructor and communicator. With Mathew's easy instruction and patience Barry was soon comfortable with the equipment and clay and within a short while was looking like a proper potter himself! He came away from the day with a feeling of great accomplishment having made three jugs and several dishes - all proudly displayed in our kitchen for family and friends to admire. If you've always had a desire to try a "bit of pot-throwing" go nowhere else. Mathew is a master craftsman and a brilliant tutor - you could do no better. Thank you Mathew for your instruction, enthusiasm and "joie de vie" - you have fulfilled a life-long ambition in the most perfect way."

Rebecca reviewed: Stained glass beginners course in Bexhill-On-Sea

"I first went to a mosaic course in January, absolutely loved it! Then booked straight away to do a stained glass course, in fact, I did 2! Roe is a wonderful teacher, she really explains and helps you through the process. It's a really nice comfortable studio, with only a couple of other people in the class so you really get lots of help. And....access to the most amazing materials because Roe has been working with glass for 20 years plus, she has the most incredible stash of glass that you can use. Cannot recommend highly enough, a good few of my friends and customers have gone on to do courses with Roe."

"What a lovely review, thank you so much Rebecca of Madame Butterfly's Tattoo Parlour! ?"

Judith reviewed: One-to-one mount cutting for your next exhibition

"I can't imagine a better or more enjoyable introduction to mount cutting. Lynne got us hands on straight away and by the end of the well-organised day all three of us in the group had received individual attention as needed and produced two professionally mounted pictures. Lynne's very clear and methodical approach along with the very informative handout left me feeling confident that I would retain all I had learnt. I'm now raring to go!"

KATHRYN WILLIAMS reviewed: Glass fusion workshop, Cardiff, Wales

"Had a wonderful time here and thoroughly enjoyed the course. I made a floral piece that catches the light every day in my kitchen. There were only two of us which meant we had almost one to one teaching. Plenty of instruction and information was given. We had a lovely lunch and plenty of coffee. I went back to collect our pieces about a week later after firing and I was really impressed how good it was!! It’s currently on my Pinterest page and has been repinned lots of times. My husband bought this course for me as a gift and was so impressed he bought me another for our wedding anniversary. I had a fab day and would recommend to anyone. Thanks girls."

Glass By Design responded:

"Thanks so much for leaving this and very glad your piece gives you so much joy. Hope you will come again soon."
