  • 4/5 from Mrs Davis, attended Jun 2021: Signs directing customers to the workshop would have been good. We spent time walking round the site looking for the workshop. Teacher would be better placed front and centre so that everyone could hear what was being said. Clearer instructions for complete beginners. Perhaps give out written instructions before the class starts
  • 4/5 from Cathy Hill, attended May 2021: Great location. Everyone was at different stages so sometimes hard to keep up. Recommend arriving a little earlier to snag the best equipment and moulds etc.
  • 4/5 from Tracy Dwyer, attended May 2021: Hi i found that people were not on time for the class so therefore the Teacher was talking in groups of 2 which i found was disappointing.Maybe a strict cut off time- if your late you will fall behind so i felt the class discussions were everywhere.
