Kate reviewed: Jump into Abstract Painting

"We had an amazing afternoon creating abstract art and learning how to do it without even realising we were doing that as Margie made it so easy and fun. The time passed by quickly as we were so involved in what we were doing and - with some amazement on our part - we actually created beautiful art. I highly recommend this experience."

Hampton Court Studio responded:

"Hi Kate, thank you for your lovely review. It was lovely meeting you and Linda and you can be very proud of the paintings that you did. Well done! Seasons greetings to you both Regards Margie "

Debbie Coker reviewed: Make your own leather belt with Cazzy, a qualified saddler.

"This is the second belt course we have enjoyed and the reason is Cazzy. She is both knowledgeable and encouraging in her leather work. We loved our belts. Even altering the first ones that needed shortening (due to weight loss not quality) I have no doubt we will be back. Have a go everyone you won’t regret it. "

Karen reviewed: CHRISTMAS WREATH MAKING WORKSHOP Oxfordshire Venue 2: Faringdon

"Brilliant experience. Jenni was a great instructor, even with my work-addled brain getting in my own way, she was patient & demonstrated each step giving additional help when needed but allowing me to get in touch with my creative energy. I was in the zone by the time we started adding greenery and the end result is amazing. It’s now hanging on my front door and visitors I’ve had today have asked where I bought it! Jenni was so informative about wreath-making, and the greenery and berries we were using. She was warm and friendly, even providing hot drink & yummy pie to round off a wonderful workshop. Thoroughly enjoyed experience and I’d definitely book another workshop with Jenni."

Jenni Wren Creative responded:

"Thank you Karen for an enjoyable workshop and a wonderful way to end what has been a busy Christmas Workshop season. I’m so glad you relaxed and got in touch with your creative side—it certainly showed in your stunning wreath! Knowing it’s already getting compliments from your visitors is the cherry on top. You’ll be taking orders next😅 Once again I am thrilled you enjoyed the wreath-making process and would be delighted to welcome you back to another workshop in the future. It was so lovely to receive such lovely feedback. Best wishes Jenni"

Hannah reviewed: Patchwork Fabric Sculpted Hare 3D - by Inky Escapades

"We had such a good day! It was long, but Karen had warned us of that. Powertex was a completely new craft to us, and we loved it. Karen was a brilliant instructor; her demonstration and explanations meant we both left with pieces of art that we were super happy with. "

Debbie Livingston reviewed: Private booking needle felted bowl

"We had a group of 5 adults and thoroughly enjoyed our 3 hours with Rebecca. The time was just enough to make our beautiful projects without feeling rushed - but the time did fly by. We had no previous experience of felting. Rebecca explained and showed us how to do the techniques and was on hand to support the whole way through. Her instructions were clear and simple to follow and there was a wide selection of colours and decorations to choose from to personalise each project. Rebecca created a lovely pace to the session which meant the chatting and tea continued to flow. Rebecca has experience working with children and neurodiverse people too and perhaps her teaching background supports the way she structures her sessions. Rebecca has a lovely engaging way of delivering her sessions. We had a super time and really enjoyed meeting her, sharing time together, and coming away with our beautiful felt bowls. Highly recommend."

Jack & Alice Crafts responded:

"Such a lovely, thoughtful review, thank you. I very much enjoyed teaching you and your friends, your bowls looked fantastic."

SJW reviewed: Glass Fusion Abstract Christmas Tree & Snowflakes Decoration Workshop

"Great thing to do at Christmas time. Fun and absorbing, Lots of choices of glass to choose from. Each work-station had everything we needed to do the task. Tutor on hand to ask questions if needed.

Max N. reviewed: Epsom Leather Slim Folding Card Wallet in the French Tradition

"Spent the day with Joe making a fantastic leather card holder. The lesson was an excellent way to learn some of the fundamentals of leather work whilst producing a truly professional piece. I was happy to find that the course was a challenge and not oversimplified so I had a genuine sense of accomplishment at the end of it. Joe was informative, helpful and kept the brews coming through the day which was needed!"

Awlmark Leather responded:

"Thank you for your review Max. You did an excellent job and it was a pleasure to deliver this introductory deep dive into the world of leather crafting. I'm confident that you have a good grasp of the skills needed to tackle this project again on your own if you wanted to"

They were generous with craft supplies and knowledge which meant everyone’s window hangs were both, individual and beautiful. Can’t recommend enough, lovely new venue and we wish them every success with it. "
