Libby Freeman reviewed: Pottery workshop at Brakehill Barns Norfolk

"I am so glad I booked this course! Clare & Sharon couldn’t have made me feel more welcome, from the moment I arrived the whole day was wonderful, even though I loved Sharon’s little houses and soap dishes, I was able to make a highland coo, it was such fun and all in a beautiful setting, with a delicious home made lunch, cake and fresh figs from the farm all included! I cannot fault it and would definitely recommend everyone to book one asap! Thank you so much Clare & Sharon I can’t wait to see how my coo turns out!! :) "

Louise Wiltshire reviewed: Linocut workshop at Brakehill Barns

"I had a wonderful day in the barn learning Lino cutting techniques and lots of info about best equipment. Sue was an excellent teacher and was able to give us all individual attention on the prints we made. The results were lovely. I had done some Lino cutting before but learnt loads. The homemade lunch in the farmhouse was lovely and cake! Such a fun day. Would def recommend. "

Sue reviewed: Linocut workshop at Brakehill Barns

"Absolutely loved the linocut workshop with Sue Welfare at Brakehill Barns. Workshop really well thought out, all materials supplied and excellent teaching. The venue was charming, with a great lunch and lots of tea and coffee (and cake) throughout the day. Left with a lovely linocut ! "

Geo reviewed: Pottery for beginners in Norfolk

"Booked this relaxing day of beginners pottery as a treat. No experience necessary and it is surprisingly easy to knock up a few pieces during the day. Clare, our host, made us all feel very welcome and we stopped halfway for a delicious lunch. Tea and coffee was on tap all day and there are lots of chairs to sit down if you need a break from bending over your ceramic creation. We were based in Clare’s large barn in order to spread out on two large tables so be sure to wear layers if you feel the cold. To get the best out of the day, have a few simple designs in mind for scratching into your pottery and you can come away with lots of ceramic pieces. I made a mug, a wonky bowl(!), a coaster and ceramic earrings and this was in between chatting and eating cake! Clare fires and glazes your pottery which you collect a couple of weeks later. Highly recommended."
