★★★★★ ‘‘Really informative and interactive experience! As a learning environment it was spot on- just the right number of people, plenty of equipment to use and a great introduction to the art of outdoor clothing repair. Some of my kit is well used and several decades old but this experience has opened my eyes to what is possible when you want to make the most of what can be an expensive investment rather than retiring it to the skip! Rosanna is a skilled and talented teacher and I would recommend her courses to anyone with an interest in learning “hands on “.’’ -Nigel, Heat & Glue Master class participant

★★★★★ ‘‘Really enjoyed the darning workshop I attended. Nice learning atmosphere and great tuition. Thank you!’’ -Freya, Darning class participant
