“Great tuition of the basics and then very flexible in what we actually made. Think everyone making the same first piece was really good because it got us all up to speed with basic skills quickly and being able to make something more individual later meant I came home with something I really wanted.

“Just wanted to say what a great weekend it's been - having fun back at Artison.
You should be really proud of what you've achieved there - it's such an inspiring place which attracts both lovely teachers and interesting participants. The venue is perfect, catering superb (not good for the waistline!), it's great to see photos and examples of previous courses to tempt us (successfully) to return! The website is brilliant, great design, images etc, always up to date - far better than any other equivalent I've seen. Can't wait for my next visit!

“This workshop was better than expected! It was my first visit and I was very impressed by the smooth operation, how I was made to feel welcome and most impressed by the quality of teaching and the excellent lunch. Jess is a very good teacher, standing back observing and ready to support as soon as she was needed. I felt very much at home - everyone was so very nice and kind. ”

“A really good day. Excellent tutor who gave clear demonstrations and supportive help. Use of webcam was also very helpful. I came away feeling that I had learnt some basic techniques - and with 4 completed sample notebooks. A lovely lunch was an extra treat! I am looking forward to coming back again in the Autumn.”
