Lorna reviewed: Ecoprinting- exploring the magic and alchemy

"I had an amazing day in great company exploring the many ways you can create amazing prints from the natural world. I had not expected to create so many great pieces and come away with so many ideas of things to try. I can't wait to book more courses with Fiona who was a knowledgeable and friendly host who was really invested in helping us all learn more and have fun exploring the art of the possible and have fun experimenting along the way. Such a mindful and fun way to spend a day."

Diana Douglas reviewed: Ecoprinting with Bookbinding with Earthwise Ecoprints

"An exceptional day. Excellent tuition first and then guidance, as we worked on our own pieces. It was so good to have plenty of useful samples to take home. Fiona was well prepared. She brought a sizeable amount of equipment with her (to Cabus VH) - not just for the steaming but for us to have to work on - under her instruction. I really was very impressed. Such an enjoyable day, tiring yes, but so worthwhile. Thank you, Fiona. You are special and your day was special, too."

Earthwise Ecoprints responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Diana. It was fabulous to return to teach again in Garstang and the brilliant group made it so special. I am so pleased you enjoyed it and hopefully you can continue to Ecoprint and make more books at home. Looking forward to my return visit next year."

Gemma Holliday-Smith reviewed: Ecoprinted Lampshades

"Thank you Fiona for such a wonderful day eco printing. It has nourished my soul. You prepared so much in advance so that we could all achieve and achieved we all did, the results were all individual and beautiful. As a Forest School teacher I've done a simple 'hapa-zome' technique but the colours do not stay on the fabric without a mordant so I'm going to have a go at this - thank you so much for your notes - invaluable. I'm looking forward to doing more eco prints myself ... leaf hunting here I come!!"

Mary Pryle reviewed: Ecoprinted Lampshades

"Brilliant experience, thank you to Fiona. Very well organised and (although I found it hard work!) we got through each stage in good time. Taking home five pieces of work to use for a lampshade or book cover, or in my case, to use as basis for embroidery - perhaps a wall hanging. Thank you for a lovely day."

Christina Metcalfe reviewed: Ecoprinting with Bookbinding with Earthwise Ecoprints

"I had a really lovely day. It was great full on workshop. Fiona, our tutor for the day, was brilliant- so friendly calm and so knowledgeable in her craft. I have never done ecoprinting before and I loved it. Book binding I had done before many years ago but it was great to refresh this craft and learn a different technique. What I loved about the day is that I came away with beautiful prints and two finished books. Thank you."
