Two boxes for Christmas
New Brewery Arts November 2019
 
“This was a very enjoyable day with a great crowd of people and an excellent tutor”
 
“Enjoyed the whole workshop. Very satisfying to create something that looks good and of a high standard. All went well.”
 
“The workshop was well resourced in terms of materials and tools and well taught with clear stage by stage instructions. I have been on many courses and this was up with the best.”
 
“Excellent support from the very patient tutor.”
 
“Very enjoyable day!  Richard is a very talented teacher, very patient and encouraging.  Only improvement I could suggest would be some notes to take away, but everything was so clearly explained, that really was’t essential.”

 

Two tier sewing box
Workshop for two November 2019

Just a few lines to thank you, oh so much, for an amazing day today.  We both enjoyed the day immensely, such a treat to immerse ourselves in a craft that doesn't involve sitting all day long.
 
#4 & #5 boxes
Workshop for two June 2019

Thank you for a splendid day. We both enjoyed the day and it was especially enjoyable for David to try working with his hands rather than just using a keyboard.
