Ros Duffy reviewed: "Make it Big" Splashbacks & Large Panels for Fused Glass Artists

"I am familiar with fused and stained glass, but wanted to know the differences with making something BIG. I am so glad I attended this course because it was full of useful information which has already been tried and tested by Liz herself, so everything she has learnt she has passed on. She went into detail of the pitfalls and how to get around them. Aga's being a bit of a mean beast for splashbacks, but again mastered by Liz, and advice passed on as to how to overcome them. I attended this course in June and she is still helping me with any questions I have, so her help and advice is ongoing well after you have attended the course."

Tanya Greentree reviewed: Basket making in Norfolk

"This was a thoroughly enjoyable day! It was a lovely feeling at the end, to walk away with a basket knowing you had done it all by yourself. Julie was an excellent teacher, very patient and very informative. I would highly recommend one of her classes (along side trying her homemade cakes!! they were very yummy!!) the knowledge that she has in the basket/willow world was endless and she taught us all so much. I remember her saying "after today you won't look at a basket in the same way ever again" and boy was she right!! If only there could be a weekly class as I would be there like a shot!"

Katy Haggerty Marks reviewed: Realistic and Adorable Needle Felt Animals & Pets

"My mum and I came to Sophie's studio having never felted anything before and were surprised at what lovely dogs we made. Sophie is really helpful and gives you the step by step so that you can make the dogs at home later yourself. The food was amazing and we felt really comfortable and looked after for the whole day. Really enjoyed meeting everyone else, and what a beautiful studio. We will be back to make a bear!"

Janet Pierpoint reviewed: One to one, One day, blacksmith course

"My husband knowing I always fancied having a go, treated me to this one day course for my 50th birthday. I knew what I wanted to make and Alex was up for it and so made a 5ft garden osbliske for my mop head hydrangea in the garden. It took all day and I had to weld it together later at home in our shed with my son's help. It was hard work and hot but I really had a brillant day, so much so, that my daughter commented on the way home that I look like a chimney sweep, my face being black from working on the forge. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and now wish to continue, Alex was great and very patient. So ladies, (and men) Blacksming is so rewarding and it's not just for boys!"

Sofia Billett reviewed: Tapestry weaving workshop for beginners

"Jane is a wonderful enthusiastic teacher and makes you feels very welcome in her fabulous studio. She provides everything you need from materials, to encouragement, to lovely food (with the help of her charming husband Graham). The pace of the workshop is very good and I was able to learn so much. You can also leave with a finished piece which gives you a great sense of achievement. Time runs fast and before you know it, it is time to go home...highly recommend it!"
