The second half of the class felt really rushed and I didn't have the time to do the task to the standard I would have liked. There was no air conditioning through the afternoon and I got really hot and uncomfortable - particularly because we had to wear our masks as per covid restrictions. I also felt like there should have been some refreshments or snacks given that it was a five hour class. I hadn't anticipated having to purchase the material on top of the class price - it made it quite expensive. I enjoyed the experience but I wouldn't do it again. + more

Reply from this teacher:
Hi Kim, thank you for your feedback. I apologise the class ran over schedule. We've only been in our new shop for a couple of weeks and are still finding our feet. Thank you for coming and sharing your experience, we will take it on board for future classes. The aircon was on and refreshments were available to everyone.

Sophie was such a great teacher giving clear instructions and demonstrations and letting me drive the entire time for someone like me who is a a really hands on learner, this was really important!
She also slowed down when I needed it, and no question was too silly! I Would absolutely recommend Sophie & her classes and will be back for more. Thank you!
