Jayne reviewed: Collage workshop with Helen Norman

"From the moment I was welcomed to the beautiful home and gardens for the Collage Workshop, it was lots of fun and very relaxing to do and I thoroughly enjoyed the session and would highly recommend it. Drinks and homemade cakes were offered and I really could have stayed all day. With a brief explanation of what to do, and samples on hand to inspire us all, we completed some amazing collages and this is something I will definitely do at home. I was super happy when I was offered a couple of magazines to take with me, a perfect few hours spent. Thank you."

Elizabeth reviewed: Collage workshop with Helen Norman

"An enjoyable morning with great welcome ( thank you Nicki) and friendly group. Helen provided all we needed to start making our own collage artwork, after sharing some of her lovely work. She gave us individual help and advice, and everyone’s work was unique to them. I was motivated to finish my piece later at home, having made encouraging progress in the session. It needed quite intense concentration. Recommend anyone should consider ‘ having a go’ and be surprised!"

Hen House Studio responded:

"Thank you so much for your lovely review and so pleased you enjoyed the process of collage. It was good to meet you and Clare and thank you both for coming to the workshop... we both very impressed with how you achieved atmosphere and tones so I hope you are inspired to make another sometime now you are familiar with the process"
