I would recommend this experience to everyone who wants to spend time on a skill in a tranquil part of the world without a doubt. I went and stayed for 3 days in France in September. I was quite nervous as I was travelling alone but Tim picked me up from the airport along with the 2 other women I was doing the workshop with. They were all incredibly friendly, I felt instantly at ease. I spent the 3 days in the most beautiful gite that Tim had just finished building. The detail of the gite was incredible and made the stay wonderful. As for the teaching, Karen was incredibly welcoming. I came with my own ideas and her skills to be able to teach and understand whatever I had in my mind was amazing. All the other techniques were taught perfectly, with patience and enthusiasm. We had a great little group and I had so much fun. I made the most wonderful jewellery which I am still getting complimented on almost everyday. Karen was incredibly honest and down to earth with her teaching and recommendations and because of that I felt like I learnt so much more that I am able to take away and repeat at home. It was a highlight of my year - and I will definitely be back! Thanks Karen and Tim!

Reviewed By Mollymook123

I attended three of Simon's Thursday morning classes whilst staying in our house in a nearby village for the summer, visiting from Australia. The classes were very relaxed and enjoyable and Simon is an excellent teacher and artist. I learnt a lot and completed a painting every week during the class. All paint, paper and brushes were provided. Both Simon and his wife Monica are really nice, welcoming people and I met other interesting and friendly people in the classes. Great coffee too! I would thoroughly recommend Simon's classes (although perhaps not too highly as I would like to attend again during the summer next year - I hope there will be space!).
