"I love Macramé and no better place to learn than with Wendy at the Little Craftery. She has the patience of a saint, very much needed in my case, And I came home with the sweetest little Christmas decs that I made myself. Not only that but the prices she charges are very affordable. With everything included."

"I had a brilliant day with Rowena. She was great at explaining and guiding me throughout. She shared many tips and techniques and was a lot of fun too. The studio is cosy and warm and Rowena even makes sure that the water you have to dip your fingers into is warm. I would love to spend another day learning with her."

Lyn Taylor reviewed: An Introduction to Glass Fusing

"I had a wonderful day with Dorothy, she made me feel at home with flowing conversation and cups of tea. Nothing was too much trouble when it came to her teaching me about the various types of glass that I used to create two coasters, a hanger and a wave. It was fascinating to learn how the glass will change during firing. Dorothy is certainly a wonderful, knowledgeable teacher. I would highly recommend this course. Thank you for a fabulous day Dorothy x "

Gill North reviewed: Stained glass weekly classes in Sheffield (South Yorkshire)

"I started this course 15 months ago. I had never done stain glass or much art before. It is an amazing course which challenges a different aspect of my brain. I never thought I would achieve so much. Martin is an outstanding teacher and demonstrates the skills required and is always there to help. He also encourages one to improve with each course by suggesting how to do it oneself and create ownership of wonderful pieces of stained glass. It is an exciting hobby for anyone who wants to do something different . "

"Thanks for the lovely review."

Caroline Quincey reviewed: Stained glass weekly classes in Sheffield (South Yorkshire)

"I have been doing a weekly stained glass course with Martin, making leaded windows, which has been great. I was a complete beginner but feel I have made good progress and really enjoy the class. Martin is a very patient and encouraging teacher, and is always helpful. I really appreciate that if you have to miss a class, Martin will try and fit you in for another. I have also been on a 1 day Christmas decoration class with Kate, who is also a great teacher, and enjoyed doing the Tiffany technique again. "

BSnell reviewed: Painting in Pastels

"This is my fourth class with Cathy and once again it was most enjoyable. This was a 10.00a.m. - 4.00 p.m. in pastels with seven other like minded people. I can honestly say all of us really, really enjoyed our day. Our final pictures show this and some completing three and four pictures. Cathy is very approachable, professional and her knowledge immense. She gives you time and encouragement if you're feeling overwhelmed and you surprise yourself with your final picture. I’m looking forward to enjoying many more. Some weeks ago. Just retired I wanted to enjoy something new. I decided to go for the art classes and it’s just been brilliant. I can only say take that step."
