A great day out and learning so much new info about how to use natural dyes. Would definitely recommend. There's plenty of room to park, much to my relief

Brilliant workshop, learned loads and it was an enjoyable, relaxed course - it was great chatting to the others on the course about natural dyes and other stuff!! The workshop space was pretty much perfect - plenty of room. Side issue point but there is plenty of free parking which is always a bonus.

And yes, free parking is definitely a bonus! We hope to see you at another workshop soon. Happy dyeing!

Wow, where to start? I have learnt so much during the two day course and all my learning has helpfully been reinforced by the lovely file of information provided to take home!

The space was so welcoming and has everything needed. Karen was a great teacher, patient and enthusiastic- nothing was too much trouble!

I can’t wait to return for candle making! Thanks for such an educational and relaxed time.

Thank you for a great review of one of our Cardiff workshops, the natural dye course. Its a lot to take in over the 2 days and the 'take home' file is designed to help you remember what you learned! Our candle workshops are held on both weekday evenings and weekends so hopefully one will fit in with your requirements.

I always wanted to know about natural dyes and how to use them. This workshop has helped me no end. From the theory bits to the hands-on practical sessions, this was all good for me. Brilliant.

Thank you for your positive feedback! We are so glad to hear that our workshop was informative and enjoyable for you. We hope to see you again for future workshops in Cardiff. Thank you for choosing us to learn about natural dyes.

After much prompting by my daughters I rather apprehensively decided to try this. My worries disappeared within minutes of arrival. It was a totally welcoming, relaxing and enjoyable experience. And I learnt so much too! I'm looking at the other workshops to maybe try them too! It was a great day out.

We are pleased to hear that your worries disappeared and that you had a welcoming and enjoyable experience at our Natural Dye Workshop in Cardiff. It's also good to knoiw that you are considering trying out our other workshops. We would love to have you join us again soon!

The whole 2 days was very pleasant in an absolutely superbly equppied workshop. Karen, our Tutor was brilliant and I learned so much. Amazed I could take home a printed file of what we were taught - no excuses for forgetting anything!!
