Geoff Bullen reviewed: Full day leather craft workshop

"As a complete beginner to leatherwork, I wondered how much I would enjoy the day. I did not need to have been concerned. Rosanna is a very skilled leatherworker and an excellent teacher. Over the day I managed to create five pieces of work that, although not always perfect, gave me a level of ability and enjoyment that was beyond my expectation. If you fancy a go I would strongly recommend Rosanna's workshops."

Russell Gibbs reviewed: "2 Crafts in 1 Day!" 1-2-1 woodturning & pottery experience for 1 person

"This course was a lovely experience that I received as a gift for my 60th. The morning was spent woodturning with Simon, who explained everything really well and I came away with a completed honey dabber. Lunch was amazing and it was then time for an afternoon of pottery with Louise. Everything was explained and taught really well and during the afternoon I learnt pinching, slab building and throwing on the wheel. I look forward to collecting my pots and vases once fired and glazed. Overall a really lovely day."

"My mum, sister and myself did the Powertex Gnome course just yesterday. Jan was very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Jan gave us clear instructions and was on hand to help and guide us to make our best possible models. There were lots of embellishments available to use and lots of ideas to make our Gnomes one off’s. I would really recommend this course for all levels of experience for a few hours of messy fun. Thanks Jan, you were great 😊 "

"Ali is such a kind and patient teacher. I wanted to make a house number using vintage china and I am so pleased with the end result. At no point did I feel stuck as the small class means you get lots of attention and really feel fully supported. Being in the peace and beauty of Ali's garden room was also really calming. Lots of good cake to eat and generally a super experience."

This year we went to Jolene’s bangle and ring day course. It was worth every penny, was reasonably priced and she is such a lovely patient, encouraging lady. She also makes amazing millionaires shortcake. We came away with 2 bangles each, I made a coil ring and my daughter made 3 stacking rings. Thank you for making a special day even better."
