This workshop was a present for my friend's birthday and we had a brilliant time! Haidee is such a relaxed, happy person and very knowledgeable about her craft. We were guided through the whole process in easy to follow stages. Mixing colours, choosing shapes and making our own terrazzo was great fun and we were both very happy with our final pieces, I've been wearing my earrings loads! Thanks so much Haidee - a lovely morning indeed, I'd highly recommend this class.

Haidee's workshop was so much fun and I highly recommend it. The workshop was nice and small with just 6 of us . It was a really relaxed atmosphere which meant we learnt loads and all made some beautiful pieces. Haidee was thorough and explained everything really clearly which gave me the confidence that I could carry on casting on my own. Thanks so much Haidee

Casting, marbling, how to make Jesmonite terrazzo, pigmenting, how to use moulds and finishing Jesmonite. Haidee is an excellent teacher who is generous with her knowledge and wants you to leave her workshops able to continue to grow your skills.

I enjoyed my experience making a lovely necklace and a coaster. Haidee was very lovely and supportive throughout the whole process.

What an experience! A must do on any occasion, made me feel so welcome and comfortable considering I was on my own, not an artistic person naturally, but the teaching and the results were fantastic, made myself a lovely pair of earrings and a necklace to take home with me, With complete creative freedom with no judgement, will definitely be returning, great experience for groups and single parties alike! Thank you Haidee, see you again soon.

Haidée is an incredible teacher, super knowledgeable and encouraging. The pace was excellent, the class size was ideal, and the evening is really fun and relaxing with lots of room for being creative and experimenting with colours and shape. And you come away with some beautiful ready to wear pieces at the end! I can't recommend this class enough!
