Shannon Thomas reviewed: Tetra Pak Printing for 1 or 2

"I did a Tetra workshop with Genny recently, it was incredibly fun to learn and do something a little different. The printing was very cool. Being able to reuse materials makes it even more special. Genny is a very good teacher, she has lots of patience and is willing to provide as much or a little help as needed. I couldn’t recommend the workshop enough! "

Arty Genny responded:

"Thanks Shannon! It was a real pleasure to teach you. You were great fun, and your prints have such character. Hope you get the chance to try lots more new creative experiences!"

Alex reviewed: Weekend beginners upholstery class - Saturday mornings

"I decided to join this class to enable me to upcylcle my tired furniture to suit my new home instead of buying new. Katie was great, so patient and knowledgeable she encouraged me to try traditional techniques on my antique chair. Katie gave me lots of advice and guidance on things I could do at home between classes to maximise my time in the workshop. I enjoyed the classes so much I signed up for another course! I have met some fantastic people who I have stayed in touch with and we have all continued to put our new skills to use in our own homes. Brilliant value for money and a joyful way of spending an evening "

Meticulous Restoration responded:

The workshop is cosy and envelopes you in calm as soon as you enter. A thoroughly enjoyable morning and something I would repeat without hesitation. That you Pat!"

Gillian Hogan reviewed: Tiffany stained glass wild flowers workshop

"Great day learning how to make these lovely flowers. This is the 3rd workshop day I've been on, the others being Painting on Glass and Scrap glass mosaic stepping stone. Both Kate and Martin were clear in their instructions and would repeat and show as many times as necessary. Very encouraging and calming when I thought I would never get things finished. Came home with some fantastic glass art. Now to choose my next glass workshop :-)"

Lucy reviewed: Flower Power - Exploring Colour

"I have had my eye on the workshops at the barn after passing the location a while ago on a beautiful country walk and then seeing some of Allison's work on an PetersfieldArts group on Insta. The location is wonderful, right out in the beautiful rolling countryside and the barn is simply perfect. It's such a wonderfully inspiring venue. I loved this drawing, painting and mono-print course. I really needed something totally absorbing to lift me out of myself and I loves exploring the different techniques through the course of the day. The materials provided were brilliant!! Alison and Liz are a super duo, I would love to learn more and more from them. Their manner is so warm and welcoming and they clearly have experience of running courses catering for a range of abilities. I would highly recommend this course, this location and Alison and Liz's expert tuition. I'm looking forward to the next course I can attend. "

Blooming Designs - Art in the Barn responded:

"Dear Lucy, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your day with us. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the day so much and were so inspired by what you learnt . You produced some great works using the different techniques and I hope that this has given you the confidence to explore these techniques at home. We look forward to seeing you again at the barn ! Best wishes Alison"
