Lovely day at Rock Farm

Lovely day! the studio is in a gorgeous area so the drive was very enjoyable. April is a great tutor - clear instructions, very inspiring samples of what can be done, and ample space for your own imagination and creativity to be incorporated. I came home with a whale-tail suncatcher and will certainly book again. F.

The silver clay workshop with Claudia was an absolute delight, we were given a wide choice of things to make and all the equipment necessary. Claudia went through various methods we could use to make our peices, and all to soon the class was over and we went home clutching our artwork with pride. A great time was had and I would go back at a latter date to make some more items.

Introduction to blacksmithing

Impressed how we were guided from the start on how to heat, hold and forge the steel bars to achieve what we were aiming to make. Allowance was made for novice participants like me and support on how to correct any errors made. Safety was important to Sam and the other tutor working with such high temperatures, but we were encouraged to be confident in our ability which showed in the final result. A highly rewarding day which went far too quickly.

​Five stars!!

​Five stars! Booked this as a treat for me and my mum and we loved every second. It’s a wonderful mix of fun, "fancy" tie-dye, and relaxed stitching. The environment is so welcoming that you’re guaranteed to make something you'll be proud of. Such a fabulous day!

A great way to spend an afternoon creating

Three of us enjoyed a very relaxing and inspired afternoon at Dawns workshop. We were spoilt for choice on things to make and sizes, shapes and textures to make with.
I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone wanting to do something a bit different.
Dawn is a fountain of knowledge and made the session great fun and very informative.

Completed a lovely morning making beads with Jane in Little Bourton. Brilliant tutor, explained everything so simple and very patient. Helped me with deciding which colours went with each other. Thoroughly enjoyed my morning and made so many beads. Highly recommend and so very addictive too, great value for money

Stained glass workshop - excellent

We did a stained glass workshop with Keith in Coltishall. It couldn't have been any better.
Keith was an excellent teacher and enabled us to make things that we are really happy with, even as complete beginners. He was a very kind and patient teacher.
Would definitely recommend.

A great first glass blowing experience

My wife and I had a great first glass blowing experience with Rik. A really nice guy with terrific experience and patience; everything was explained clearly and we had a great morning creating 4 glass pieces each in the session. I would certainly recommend both Rik and this experience.

So pleased with the end result.
