“This was amazing! Lisa is a great teacher putting no pressure on you to make it exactly right or to perfect a particular skill. She imparted her wisdom and skills in a lovely, chilled way adding zero pressure to the workshop. I honestly can't recommend enough that you book this - it's incredible value, it's fun and you'll 100% leave with a smile on your face.” Millie W
