Our teacher was patient, organised and helpful. The cost of the workshop felt a little expensive when you reached the end and had a choice of leaving your work on a canvas, finding someone to turn it into a rug for you or hazarding to try it yourself without any training or paying for them to do it for you which was roughly another hundred on top, depending on the detail of your design. Although it was specified on the website, it wasn’t really clear why until you’d made the item. It might be worth having a video demonstration and explanation. It might also be worth having alternative seating, as those I went with were quite tired mid way through and it became hard for them to finish. That being said, she allowed for a little extra time for them, was positive and keen to explain how everything worked as we went. If anything, you understand why it would cost a person at least $100 on top of the tutorial price to turn it into a rug - the time and effort it takes is bodily and mentally exhausting but very rewarding at the end. I loved seeing my final product and knowing how amazing it will look when it’s been turned into a rug and had the edges refined to bring out the details.

The teacher was informative and helpful. Might pay to have explicit information regarding the age group as they specifically said that they don't really cater for children, only to find that a parent had booked three 6 year olds to join us.
