"I’ve done many courses and this was quite simply the best I have done. Absolutely brilliant. Our Tutor Jo was fantastic, she ensured we all got individual attention and we all made a really stunning piece. Do not hesitate to book, I will book the same course again this year as I enjoyed it so much. "
