Dee Boyd reviewed: Lace pattern porcelain ceramics in Kendal, South Lakes

"This was a fantastic course suitable for people of all abilities, as Nik is a very clear instructor, and goes through everything first before letting us loose. Produced some pieces of work that I was very pleased with, despite the rustic organic finish. It was a lovely group and we all helped each other and shared the equipment, etc. Great value for money. Would highly recommend. "

NIKSLOVELYART responded:

"Hi Dee, Thank you for your lovely review. I’m delighted you felt your day was great value for money and that you were really pleased with your pieces. I will see you soon, when you collect them. Many thanks, Nik. 😊"

"Great course, Nik was lovely and explained everything very well. My son and I hadn’t done anything like this before but we were both very happy with our end results. We had time to make three different items. A lovely relaxing day. "

NIKSLOVELYART responded:

"Hi Denise, Thanks for such a great review. I’m delighted you had such a great day. It was lovely meeting you both. 🙂"

"Lovely day with Nik based in her fabulous workroom looking out over stunning Lakeland views. Her instruction was very clear and she was on hand to give help with ‘hiccups’ and suggest tweaks to improve the finished product. By the end we all had several pieces ready to be fired and enough information to be able to continue with lace patterning using air dry clay at home. Highly recommended. "

"Had a lovely relaxed day! Nik was there to show you and advise you, but what you made was up to you! Can’t wait to get the creations back once they have been fired! Really enjoyed the day! "

Audrey Taylor reviewed: Lace pattern porcelain ceramics in Kendal, South Lakes

"Would certainly recommend a course with Nik. Due to Covid, I was extremely lucky to have a one-to-one, as the other participants had to postpone to a later date. Nik is very thorough, explains everything well and is happy to answer any questions, or suggest alternatives - just what you need when trying out a new craft. I managed to make several pieces and decorated them ready for firing. Can't wait to see how they turn out! If you are thinking of trying porcelain clay modelling, this is the course for you - excellent!"

NIKSLOVELYART responded:

"Thank you for your kind words Audrey. I thoroughly enjoyed the 1-1 session too- you certainly nailed it getting everything made. ???"

"My friend and I did this as a birthday treat for her. We had such a lovely day and we were so pleased with our finished results. Nik was so friendly and helpful. She guided us through the process, making us feel completely at ease and always allowing us the opportunity to try different ideas so that we, as well as the other lovely lady on the course with us, had really beautiful and different final pieces."

Kate reviewed: Lace pattern porcelain ceramics in Kendal, South Lakes

"My sister and I really enjoyed the lace pattern porcelain course with Nik. She was very welcoming and professional. As all materials were provided, all we had to do was watch, learn and create our own pieces! Tea / coffee and cakes were provided whilst we were busy working away on our creations! Brilliant day, many thanks!"

NIKSLOVELYART responded:

"Hi Kate, Thank you for the lovely review of your day with me yesterday. I'm delighted you and your sister had a great day. Nik"

Anne Wirt-Weightman reviewed: Lace pattern porcelain ceramics in Kendal, South Lakes

"Lovely relaxing day with good tuition and plenty of time and help to create interesting things. We made lots during the day and can't wait to see how they look when fired. Would absolutely recommend this course."

Heather Garry reviewed: Lace pattern porcelain ceramics in Kendal, South Lakes

"Both myself and my sister have both attended 2 of Nik's courses. We loved it so much we booked on again and will be booking on again in the New Year. That says it all really, Nik is a fantastic teacher. Such a relaxing environment and everything you need to create lovely pieces and you get to take them home, once Nik has fired them for you. Just a great day thanks Nik."

"I recently had a wonderful day with Nik, an inspirational teacher, and like-minded people. With expert tuition and help I managed to create some lovely pieces. Loved it!"

Angela Pollard reviewed: Lace pattern porcelain ceramics in Kendal, South Lakes

"The workshop i attended was well planned and Nik managed to keep us on track throughout the day. There was lots to learn and make. There was a mix of totally new students and those with some experience of working with Porcelain. I enjoyed it so much I've booked on another workshop!"

Liz Jones reviewed: Lace pattern porcelain ceramics in Kendal, South Lakes

"I attended Nik's course with a friend and another lady. We had a truly wonderful day learning new techniques, chatting and producing beautiful porcelain pieces. Nik was a great teacher and host, patient and good at explaining the process and allowing us the freedom to experiment and try our own ideas as well as giving us expert tips. The experience was wonderful, in a beautiful relaxing environment, and I was so pleased with the results of our labours. Highly recommended, and I cant wait to do another course!"

Maggie Paton reviewed: Lace pattern porcelain ceramics in Kendal, South Lakes

"Really fun day with my sisters-in-law ... Nik patiently took us through the steps needed to produce 3 different items in the clay and to decorate them. It was a very relaxed day but Nik quietly kept everyone on track and made sure we each produced work of which we would be proud"

Helen Sutton reviewed: Lace pattern porcelain ceramics in Kendal, South Lakes

"I attended a day ceramics course with Nik Hunter-Dale recently and it was brilliant! We learned how to work with porcelain clay, a very satisfying medium, and went on to make various items ourselves. Nik showed us how to create patterns in the porcelain and various paint effects. I was delighted with what I was able to make and had a fun and inspiring day."

Jacqui Hudson reviewed: Lace pattern porcelain ceramics in Kendal, South Lakes

"Fabulous day run by Nik. All materials were provided along with passion and enthusiasm for the craft. Nik is an excellent teacher, who enjoys sharing her knowledge, hints and tips. Small group meant Nik was easily able to demonstrate porcelain techniques to us all whilst also providing individual attention when needed. We each made several fabulous pieces which where left for firing to then be collected/posted. Definately recommend this course."
