• 4/5 from Hannah Cairns, attended Dec 2024: Lovely teacher, willing to accommodate any design. However, I would suggest if you are a beginner that you consider one of the sample designs available, or choose something with simple line work. The room lighting created some difficulties in seeing the stencil once transferred onto the lino was well, so bring a head torch or clip on reading light if you have on available. Otherwise a very pleasant class.
