- 5/5 from Jennifer Cox, attended Jun 2023: Fabulous class Great new venue with lots of natural light. 5th class I have done with Michelle. Knowledgable and always warm. Would defi itely recommend.
- 5/5 from Lorraine Langmuir, attended Jan 2023: I thought the class was fantastic and I enjoyed it very much. Michelle gave very comprehensive instruction and staged that well with the different stages of the paper making process. She was very friendly and was quick to put us at at ease. The equipment was all there and a really good handout was provided at the end of the workshop. A very informal setting very suited for messy activity. Great value and the glass of Prosecco was a nice touch. I
- 5/5 from Nikki Dolling, attended Jan 2023: A fantastic learning opportunity! Our teacher made the process easy and fun. She also ensured it was accessible, showing how to use every items to make beautiful paper. A great experience and a skill I will definitely use again. Thank you!
- 4/5 from Caitlin Gregory, attended Jan 2023: Michelle was a really fun and approachable teacher & it was excellent value for money. Helped me to refresh my knowledge of paper making in a lovely setting. I went home with confidence & “know-how” for my future paper making adventures.
- 4/5 from Ruth Treleaven, attended Jan 2023: Really enjoyed this class. Michelle was lovely, very helpful and happy to share her knowledge. The only downside was getting our still wet paper home after class - this was a bit tricky. Not sure how it could be improved though.
- 5/5 from Erica Lacorcia, attended Apr 2021: The teacher was well prepared and obviously knew a lot about paper making. We worked in pairs and my partner was very pleasant and keen to participate so we were able to produce a number of pieces of paper. Each of the pages has a unique appearance due to the inclusion of florals & coloured paper shreds.
- 5/5 from Ashley Ellingford, attended Apr 2021: The paper making class was excellent! Made some beautiful pieces and now have the knowledge of how to do this at home. No Prosecco- but no doubt it was because the class was moved to a 9.30am start.
- 4/5 from Ashleigh, attended Apr 2021: It was great fun! Lovely teach and people. Facilities were great. All the best for future classes
