"I really enjoyed the course. Sharon was very well organised. The setting of the venue is lovely, The tuition was easy to follow, and the numbers in the group allowed for individual attention. The course was very engrossing. The time went very quickly, and I achieved a large volume of work by the end of the course. I would be very interested in doing future courses with Sharon. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon."

"Superb course run by inspirational teacher in wonderful, waterside setting. Sharon provides you with lots of information and support to create your own lovely prints in acrylic paint and ink (not to mention upmarket cookies and tea/coffee!) A totally absorbing experience and a great way to spend a winter's afternoon! 10/10"

"A very special afternoon, doing something I had not tried before. Sharon explained the process, and demonstrated the different techniques. She supplied everything we needed to produce colourful prints to take home. We could try various methods of producing those prints, and I’m sure I will continue to expand the skill in future"

Anna reviewed: Gelli plate printing workshop with Creative Hug

"It was so lovely to get stuck in to a new craft with all the supplies laid out ready and clear instruction and encouragement from Sharon. I especially enjoyed how experimental gelli printing is with no wrong outcomes, just opportunities to add to each print until you crate an image you are happy with. Many of my favourite prints from the day are ones that were complete accidents. I look forward to attending future workshops with Sharon to build on the skills learned at this one. "

Creative Hug responded:

"Thank you so much for your lovely review, Anna! I'm thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed diving into Gelli printing and experimenting with different techniques. One of the things I love most about it is there really are no wrong outcomes, and the process is full of fun surprises! I'm so glad your favourite prints came from happy accidents; that's often where the magic happens. I can’t wait to welcome you to future workshops and see how your skills and creativity continue to grow! Sharon x"
