I had such a great time at Haidee’s workshop. It was a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and a chance to be creative and make two lovely coasters to take away with you on the day. I already want to go back and do it again! I also felt very safe regarding the extra covid measures. For anyone currently considering doing the workshop, I would highly recommend.

Really happy with the course and the tutor. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. . We each made a pair of lovely Jesmonite coasters and really enjoyed the whole process. The venue was pleasant and convenient. Will definitely make more in future.

Haidee is warm and welcoming. It was lovely working in her studio. Haidee is very experienced in using Jesmonite and explains every step really clearly; I left the workshop with beautiful objects.
