Watercolour
Hi
I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful few hours.
Linda was amazing: I've come away having learnt something and my very own piece of art!
I will be back
-Mickie
Perfume Making
Attended a fabulous workshop. Not only was the workshop held in a bright, spacious room but the shop was a joy in itself - full of a wonderful selection of hand crafted items with something for everyone. Lots of workshops are on offer run by local teachers & companies all reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.
-Ginny
Needle-Felting
The workshop felt more about camaraderie and friendship as much as it was about learning a new skill.
It was a lovely couple of hours spent with lovely people.
