Sarah Hawker reviewed: Introduction to Silkscreen Printing in Cambridgeshire

"My daughter and I spent a lovely day with Judith on her screen printing course. I had done some screen printing many years ago and I very much enjoyed trying it again. Judith paced the day well, introducing us to various techniques and offering help and advice when needed. As there were only three students we all felt we had had a very worthwhile experience. Judith inspired us with examples of her beautiful work and I came away wanting to do more at home. Lovely coffee and cake as well! Thanks, Judith!"

"Hi Sarah, thank you very much for your review. It was a great pleasure to have you and Anna here for the day, and I hope you get chance to continue to turn your beautiful illustrations into prints. With very best wishes Judith"

Anna Forrest reviewed: Introduction to Silkscreen Printing in Cambridgeshire

"What could be better than spending a day learning how to screen print in the beautiful surroundings of Judith’s home and garden? There were 3 of us - an ideal size - and we got started straight away with trying out various techniques. Judith encouraged everyone to jump straight in and mix colours, try different backgrounds and experiment with different ways of cutting stencils and silhouettes, showing us lots of inspiring work of her own and from past students. After lunch in the lovely garden we began layering up techniques to create a small print run of a piece of art we could be proud of. Trial and error was absolutely encouraged and we all came away with lovely things. I’d absolutely recommend this as a really great way to spend a creative day."

Maggie Lighten reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"It was third time lucky for me, but well worth the wait. Everything throughout the day was thought out and planned to suit everyone on the course. Judith was very encouraging and helpful at each step of the way. The workspace was light and airy with Covid precautions adhered to. I came away having learnt a lot and achieved more than expectations. I took home plenty of prints and enthusiasm to do more. Judith was a brilliant host, plenty of drinks and biscuits throughout the day and cake before leaving. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone, no previous experience needed. You'll come away with plenty of prints to be proud of."

Sue and Sally reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"This was a birthday treat and what a lovely way to spend a wet Saturday getting so creative and managing to produce a good selection of coloured prints. Judith was everything you would wish for as she was an excellent teacher and encouraging us all the way through the process, in her kind and friendly manner. Like me, don't worry if you cannot draw as you will leave with something handmade and unique to you. The studio had a lovely atmosphere and all covid regulations were adhered to."

print paper stitch experiences responded:

"Dear Sue and Sally, Thank you very much for taking the time to write your lovely, positive review; very much appreciated. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you both. All the best, Judith x"

Jane Whiteman-Turl reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"Despite having to wait a year or so to actually attend the course (Covid not Judith!!) I am so glad I finally made it. Judith was extremely well organised and considerate of the regulations and how we interacted during the day. The course content was great - Judith challenged each of us to do the maximum we could in a day. Everyone left with a massive selection of prints - me included. Judith encouraged me to do more than I thought I was capable of and I have come away eager to try it again. If you have even a tiny thought that you want to give it a go I encourage you book up and experience a day where you can expand your own known universe.... Judith was a patient and supportive teacher and nothing is too much trouble and to cap it all there was endless tea and biscuits and a final reward of cake...."

Hayley reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"I bought this as a gift for my mum and neither of us had done lino printing before. Judith was very welcoming and the workshop was nice and relaxed. We had plenty of space and attention, with just the right level of input, technical and creative. We came away with piles of prints which we were both really pleased with and I have already purchased my own tools following Judith's recommendations."

print paper stitch experiences responded:

"Many thanks for your review Hayley, it's very much appreciated. It was a pleasure to meet and work with you and your mum. We were lucky to fit the workshop in before everything shutdown again! I'm really pleased to hear that you've got some equipment now and would love to see pics of your future prints. All the best for a happy and healthy 2021 Judith"

Dan & Helen Satterthwaite reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"My wife and I spent a week day with Judith in early October, and the fact that there were just the three of us worked really well in terms of social distancing and the like. We really enjoyed the day and were very pleased with the results, the best of which will shortly be going up on our walls! Copious quantities of Earl Grey tea and biscuits also went down very well!"

Karen Ingrey reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"Nicola, Sarah and I thoroughly enjoyed our lino print day. Judith was very friendly and really helpful throughout the day. Everything was set out in line with Covid regulations and so we felt comfortable. We all came home with prints we were really happy with. Looking forward to doing another course next year with Judith."

Joy E Knight reviewed: Introduction to Silkscreen Printing in Cambridgeshire

"I have never tried screen printing before and found this course ideal. It was lead in a welcoming, encouraging and patient way. It was great fun too and with such a small group, was relaxing and rewarding. I printed on both paper and fabric and was so inspired to see work that had been created by previous classes and by Judith too. Would really recommend ?"

sue lintern reviewed: Introduction to Silkscreen Printing in Cambridgeshire

"I highly recommend Judith's screen printing course. We learnt how to print onto paper and fabric, tried several different techniques and finally produced a piece of artwork to take home. The class is small so you can have plenty of one-on-one time and Judith is very patient answering endless questions and explaining options for how you might want to do your masterpiece. This was an excellent and fun day."

Jan Collins reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"My friend and I had an amazing day on Judith's Introduction to Linocut Printing course as a birthday present to each other. We were welcomed into Judith's beautiful home and given tea, biscuits, cake and careful instruction on how to bring our ideas to life. Judith has loads of equipment and reference books and a wonderful, light space to work in. Most of all she's a kind and patient teacher and shared her time among the group well. The point at which you lift the paper to reveal your first print is like magic - we were all super pleased with our work. It was easy to book and the instructions for joining the course were clear. Judith even advised us on good places to walk and eat in Ely to complete our exciting day!! I travelled from Kent to join the course and would happily do so again."

Nell reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"We had a wonderful day with Judith. From the really warm welcome and beautiful space to the patient instruction and encouragement. The atmosphere was really relaxed and enabling, and the biscuits plentiful. I was amazed at what I was able to achieve in a day and was very inspired by the work of all my fellow course attendees too. No hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending Judith's courses: such soul food!"

Gemma Thomas reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"My daughter (aged 13) and I had an inspiring day with Judith. She shared her knowledge and experience with us and supported us throughout the printing process. There was plentiful supply of tea, cookies and delicious flapjack too! We have continued to create our own pieces at home - thank you, Judith. I would highly recommend this course."

Sophie Botsford reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"My sister, Mum and myself took this course a few weeks ago. We were all beginners and we we absolutely loved the course. From the moment we arrived we felt at home, with the added bonus of lots of coffee and cake! Judith put us at ease straight away and we were down to business in no time. We all managed to create some great lino prints with the help of Judith, and the relaxed atmosphere made it such an enjoyable day. We would all highly recommend."

Debbie Nelson reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"This was my first attempt at Lino Printing and I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Judith was a great teacher, providing support, instruction and a lot of inspiration for future projects. I was really happy with what I managed to produce during the session and went home confident to do more at home."

Sara reviewed: Introduction to Silkscreen Printing in Cambridgeshire

"This was my first try at screen printing and it did not disappoint. We gained an appreciation of the technical skill required for particular results but were still able to produce pieces that we were proud of and could use to create further prints. Judith's studio is an inspiration, full of light, and to spend the day with fellow printers in such a creative space was a treat in itself. Many thanks, Judith, for an enjoyable day."

Chris White reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"Judith was welcoming and gave first class instruction and support. The equipment and materials provided were great. I thoroughly recommend this workshop."

sue rowlands reviewed: Introduction to Block Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"I had a really wonderful day and Judith was an excellent tutor, who is clearly very talented. I was thrilled with the images I produced and subsequently did some online purchasing to practise this at home. I would definitely attend a follow-on course to learn more complex techniques in the new year."

Teresa Trangmar reviewed: Lino Printing for Christmas in Cambridgeshire

"Fantastic day yesterday at Judiths home studio surrounded by her creative ideas and lovely garden! I was delighted to create a linocut in the morning and then print a range of different colours and effects ready to make a Christmas frieze when the ink drys. There was also time to experiment with printing using different materials and inks and colour. Judith is such a good guide and teacher and makes suggestions that enhance your work and yet still retaining your own ideas and individuality. I came away feeling I had really created work that I was proud of and happy to share with others! This was my second course with Judith and I thoroughly recommend her courses"

Alys reviewed: Introduction to Block Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"What a lovely day learning lino printing! As a complete beginner I couldn't recommend this course, or Judith, more highly. The atmosphere is relaxed and encouraging, and although everyone on the course chose very different subject matter, we all ended the day with a collection of amazing and individual prints. I would do it again tomorrow."

Hilary reviewed: Introduction to Block Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"I really enjoyed this workshop and also found it very helpful. I had done some lino printing at home and Judith showed me how to go on the next stage, adding layers of colour to my prints. A friendly and relaxed atmosphere, even though we were all concentrating very hard! A lovely setting too. Highly recommended."

Faye Somerville reviewed: Introduction to Block Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"The whole day was fantastic. The workshop is airy, light and in a beautiful setting. Jude was brilliant - patient, calm and gave excellent demos so that we were clear on the process. She helped me achieve my somewhat ambitious tessellated design and I loved my results. The yummy cake, coffees and teas helped lubricate the process. If you are looking for a great day course I would highly recommend this one. It would also be great fun with a group of friends."

sharon stone reviewed: Introduction to Block Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"I came with a little experience of Lino cut but lacked confidence in the printing process. Judith guided everyone through each stage, encouraging experimentation with cuts, paper and colour, and gave great tips for when we did more at home. It was a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding day. Thank you Judith."

Joanne reviewed: Introduction to Block Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"What a fantastic day! I thoroughly enjoyed this course, Judith made us all feel welcome & it was very relaxed. I’m so pleased with my print. I went in a nervous beginner, not sure what to expect & came out full of enthusiasm & can’t wait to get started on another design from home. Five stars"
