I had so much fun! It was amazing to build up a sculpture over the 3 hours and make a finished product to be proud of. Great teaching and atmosphere as well.

This was my favourite workshop that I've done to date. I really enjoyed getting messy and creative. It was a lovely, relaxing workshop. I was so pleased with the gnome, that I made. It was amazing what we achieved in three hours.
Pavla Scholes - 2 December 2021
Had a lovely creative and relaxing time. Many thanks to the ever so patient Rachel. Would love to come again and again and again and fill the whole garden with gnomes!
Acci - 4 September 2021
Very interesting and enjoyable workshop! The resulting product of your own design will never disappoint. The process is slightly messy, yet enjoyable to carry on. The teacher offers full support throughout the workshop and provides you with clear instruction on the process. Wonderful experience and beautiful result. Good workshop for you and especially a good gift idea for someone who is in search of inspiration or just like to try out something fun. The gnomes just always end up so cute!

We had the best experience at Craft My Day choosing to make Gnomes from Powertex which now have pride of place in the garden. Our tutor was knowledgeable and patient and the COVID safety measures in place are impressive. We had a fabulous 3 hours getting messy hand and sculpturing our masterpieces which will last for years. Can highly recommend and will be back for another class soon thank you
