“Shan and her colleague were brilliant! Everything was explained slowly and very well, it was really easy to follow and we were delighted with the goodies we got to bring home. It was a lovely group of people, in a great setting. The never ending supply of refreshments and treats was a lovely surprise and we were looked after very well. I attended the session with my mum and we had such a lovely time, it was such a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon together. We will be looking at other courses we may be able to attend together. Thank you Shan!”

“I took my Son with me to class to be able to learn together a skill . John was really welcoming alongside with his assistant Beth. He went through health and safety first. Then gave us a run through equipment and explained. clearly how we were going to progress. John made it fun and was there to help alongside Beth the whole time . We both came away with a bowl and a new skill. There were refreshments provided and also the opportunity to to buy kits etc . Thank you John &Beth for a lovely evening and a great skill we now have to work on. Would highly recommend recommend.”
