Cleo Scrivener reviewed: Kiln formed glass day workshop

"The day course is wonderfully informative, educational and fun! I was surprised how quickly we learnt to create pieces, and Helen's resources seem endless. If you've ever stood in a craft shop wanting to try everything you see, but couldn't afford to buy everything, this day course allows you to craft away to your hearts desire without any material outlay. I made 7 items, used lots of materials, gained experience, had the lovely Helen on hand at all times to answer my questions and guide me, and made personalised gifts for my friends and family - what a bargain!!! There's a reason this lovely lady is always booked up. Please do not hesistate to book this course."

Eirwen Malin reviewed: Two Day Stained Glass Course with Christian Ryan

"The weekend stained glass course with Christian Ryan was very good and thoroughly enjoyable. The objective set was challenging but achievable and could be tackled with different degrees of complexity according to learners confidence/skill/ambition. Everything was very clearly explained and demonstrated and Chris, the most genial tutor has the ability to know when to offer assistance and when to leave the learner to get on with it. Having just 4 on the course was very good with plenty of moral support form other learners and no hanging around waiting for help. All in all a great 2 days - thank you very much Chris I would highly recommend the course to craft beginner - like me - or for those who are more practised crafts persons."

Morne Lippiatt reviewed: An Introduction to Glassblowing: Half-day Saturday courses

"Adam is extremely patient and an excellent teacher. The class sizes are small so you get a lot of attention and Adam demonstrates all the techniques used on the day a couple of times so it sinks in. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute!"

Jady reviewed: Make Scented Candles & Tealights

"I attended all 3 levels - beginners, intermediate and advanced. Compared to other lotion, moisturiser courses, makingskincare.com's was by far the best - Jane is v knowledgeable and so helpful, even after the class. Her facebook group Making Skincare which has over 2,400 members includes cosmetic chemists and microbiologists and has also been a great help so if you can't make it to the course, do join the group and get some great free advice (oh and her website also has free lotion, conditioner and soap tutorials too)."

"My 12 year old son and I spent a relaxing and educational day at the forge. We were both complete novices, but learnt loads and came away with some very cool products made with our own fair hands. Both of us were very pleased with the results and will undoubtedly return for more. Thanks, Mort."

Jonathan reviewed: Blacksmithing for beginners - one day taster

"Received this wonderful day as a present from my wife. I was apprehensive as the day approached and not quite sure how I would cope. However there was absolutely nothing to worry about. Aaron is a superb teacher and very patient. He dealt with the difference in abilities within our group with ease and ensured that we were all able to achieve our goals. I was really thrilled and proud of the items that I made and will remember the experience for a long time. Thank you"

Jonatha reviewed: Blacksmithing for beginners - one day taster

"Received the voucher as a present and had a wonderful day playing with metal and learning a lot. Aaron explained the techniques simply and made sure there was lots of hands on work within minutes of starting which was great. He also went on to more advanced stuff and I left with plenty of items as a memento of a fantastic experience. I still can't believe the items I made with Aaron's help as blacksmithing always seemed such a black art...it has inspired me to do some more, so I'll be thinking of some designs now! Strongly recommended for anyone with an interest in metalworking, or even for that someone who seems to have everything as they will be delighted with the whole experience. Thanks again!"

Catherine Armitage reviewed: Basket making in Norfolk

"My husband and i thoroughly enjoyed our day of basket making with Julie King. Julie was a very patient and encouraging tutor, and explained everything clearly. We were pleased to leave with a very impressive looking basket at the end of just one day. I would highly recommend a workshop with Julie (and the home made cake she provided was delicious and kept our energy up), Catherine Armitage"
