Elly B reviewed: Double-Sided Lampshade Making

"I highly recommend taking a class at the cute little studio at The Little Craftery. I drove 1 1/2 hrs to attend the 2-hour lampshade class and was very happy with the quality of the instruction and delighted with the result. Well worth the drive! Wendy is very calm and organised and did a great job teaching us within the timeframe. It is wonderful to have talented people who are willing to pass on their knowledge."

Gina reviewed: Natural Cold-Process Soap Making

"I attended a soap making course run by Wendy at The Little Craftery and had the best time. The course was really informative but a lot of fun too. I got to take home a large block of natural soap that I made that, once cured, I can use myself or gift to family and friends. I would not hesitate to book another course at The Little Craftery. "

Alison Levens reviewed: Chainmaille - Helmweave Bracelet

"Wendy is a great tutor. She gave clear instructions and demonstrations and had all the equipment we needed to make our bracelets. She had examples for us to copy and a good choice of materials. Just 5 of us meant she had the time to help and guide us individually. I’ll definitely be returning to do other workshops with her. "

"We had a positive experience with Wendy's course. From scheduling the date just for us, through to detailed instructions and printed followups after the workshop. We have both gone home with extra skills and possibility of further "posh" lamp making workshops! :-) Thank you Wendy. "

"Me and my friend, Lydia, had a lovely time learning a new skill! Wendy is kind and patient (and makes a lovely cup of coffee!). We have come away equipped to make lots of stars as well as ideas for using them at Christmas time. It’s a lovely space to work in being surrounded by completed craftwork in a bright and airy space. The time flew by and we will book another course when my friend next comes to stay. Thank you Wendy 😊"

"My friends and I had a great group session making mosaic trivets, coasters and pictures. Wendy is so knowledgeable, helpful and ensured that we had a relaxed and productive afternoon. This is the 4th course I have attended and I have enjoyed every one (soap making/ paper making / wet felting and mosaics) looking to book next one asap. Highly recommended."

"What a fun and rewarding experience this was. The Little Craftery is a lovely space to work full of beautiful things that Wendy has made. She took me through the candle making process step by step explaining it all as we went and I was thrilled to come away with a dozen candles complete with instruction leaflet to make more at home. I can thoroughly recommend this course."
