"I attended the Walderchain Wood bowl carving course today and had one of the best days I’ve had for a long time. Mark is an excellent teacher and made the learning enjoyable. Added to this is the wonderful site and workshop in the Kent countryside and a fantastic lunch provided by Mark’s wife, and at the end of the day I had a bowl to take home. "

Paul Mallard reviewed: Learn soft pastels in a relaxed beautiful environment

"Great introduction to pastels. Heather was a lovely person and an excellent teacher. I hadn't realised that the session was one-to-one, which made the process much more beneficial and personal than being in a group. Learned a lot. Highly recommended."

Alan Perry reviewed: Furniture making and Cabinetry beginners course

"A day full of things to learn, Jake is a very skilled woodworker and teacher who dedicates all of his attention and resources to his students. The attention to safety and teaching how to use the machines with as many demonstrations as needed to get the same results he would ask from himself while not cutting even 1% of the safety, Jake would not leave your side until he and you are confident and safe. The piece you will be building is planned but Jake leaves enough freedom and openings in the plan so each student can, and should, add their creative part to the piece which ends up with each student going home with a unique personalised piece. There is much more that I can write about this course, but I would let you discover by yourself as I did and enjoy every moment of it. "

Thompsons Wood responded:

"That has me welled up mate, thank you, that means so much. That's unbelievably kind x"

Tina Joyce reviewed: Hare Sculpture workshop with Jo Garden Art in beautiful Norfolk/Suffolk

"Just got back from Jo’s Hare sculpture day, what a day it was! From start to finish we instantly felt at home and relaxed, Jo has her classes down to a tee, just the right level of expert knowledge and information in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, she offers lots of help if needed or let’s you get on with it to create your masterpiece! We were so impressed with our hares and couldn’t believe what we had created. It is a very full on non stop day and we did feel exhausted by the end! I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this class, I’d also say it’s great value too, all in all it’s a 10 star experience ⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Wow Tina - 10 stars 🤗🙌 What a lovely review. Delighted you both enjoyed the day and loved your hare sculptures. I expect they are outside now enjoying this wonderful spring sunshine. Hope to see you again, Jo xx"

"My mum and I had the most wonderful afternoon learning about Saori weaving techniques and getting lost in the rhythm of weaving! Nicola creates such a calm and curious space, offering her knowledge of Saori techniques whilst encouraging creativity and intuition. And so much beautiful yarn to choose from! I loved seeing how unique everyone's creations were at the end. It was a joy to spend the afternoon there, thank you so much Nicola (and Maisie!) ☺️"

Val reviewed: Crochet workshops in Leeds City Centre

"Let’s learn to crochet we said so 3 adults and a nearly teen booked a course with Ann and attended at the Grand Vintage cafe in Leeds. What a fabulous 2 hours and thank goodness Ann has the patience of a saint and a sense of humour. Think a couple of us need to get practising but can really recommend if you want to learn to crochet or knit or just brush up on rusty skills"

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review. I did enjoy teaching you all😄 as you all needed different ways to get you going and to learn a new skill. Your sense of humour livened up the morning. Hope you all manage to keep up your new found skill. As you've said, you just need to practise. Keep up the good work. Kind regards Ann"
