Testimonials

  • "Fantastic day with my daughter, 5 hours goes rather quickly" Learn to screen print in a day
    - Steve
  • "A great hands-on learning experience that was really focused on getting you started at home. Nichola provided really excellent, practical advice, including a shortlist of what you'll need to get started printing at home and where to get it. Keeping the class to only 4 participants meant that everyone got all the help they needed. Would totally recommend this!"
    - Marcus
  • "Not only did I get a gorgeous dress after finishing this class, I also have new found confidence in my sewing. Nichola is a wonderful teacher, very knowledgeable and patient, taking time to show you little tricks and tips. I have made another dress and other items of clothing since completing this class only two weeks ago, simply because I now have the confidence to give things a go. I highly recommend this class!"
    - Selina
  • "A great very fun day of play with natural dyes. Good for beginner or someone with some experience. Nichola was friendly and knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing her love of natural dyeing. A wonderful way to have fun with a messy activity!"
    - Leeanne
  • Thanks for adding value to our students learning with the weaving workshops. Our students loved it. Many students have made their own looms and are weaving at home. They loved the choice of yarns; textures and colours and the therapeutic nature of weaving. It was a fantastic experience.
    - Anna Arvanitis, Methodist Ladies' College
