Sophie reviewed: Full Day Silversmithing 10-4pm

"Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Lovely group. Relaxed day. Very helpful and knowledgeable instructor. Caroline was also particular patient with all my mishaps!! Emma was super friendly and cooked a lovely curry and we had plenty of cake and teas too. Very lovely setting inside and outside. Will definitely do more courses in Larkswold !"

Larkswold responded:

"Thanks Sophie, Glad you enjoyed the day and look forward to seeing you again in the future. 🥰"

Vikki Loader reviewed: March Hare Ceramic Sculpture

"Robin was great, I arrived late but she was a very patient kind teacher. Setting, coffee and cake lovely. Hopefully my creation will still look fab after it has been fired. Thank you :)"

Larkswold responded:

"Thank you Vikki - you did so well and we also can’t wait to see your hare glazed & fired! "

Paul Turner reviewed: March Hare Ceramic Sculpture

"Lovely, lovely course, amazing setting, ample tea/coffee and cake. We are really thrilled with our creations, good instruction, plenty of equipment available. Our only negative would be, we felt a bit rushed, so could have done with another half hour to get the basic body shape just so, then all the attachments, heads, legs etc. would have fitted on in a less panic stricken way."
