Reviews of Framing Courses

"I had a brilliant time framing some embroidery with Ady and would recommend this course to anyone, I was very pleased with the result and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Ady's instruction was always clear and the day was well-structured with plenty of time to learn more and ask questions. Beforehand I was worried there might be noisy machinery but I need not have worried - the tools are manually or pedally operated, which makes for a nicely relaxing quiet environment. Attention to safety was good, and lunch and snacks were at just the right intervals."

"A thoroughly informative, well structured, satisfying and useful workshop. Ady explained everything clearly. He was patient and together we produced a stunning product that I now have hanging at home. The quality of the finished frame was excellent and as good as you would ever get in a framing shop. Ady also provided morning coffee, biscuits and an excellent soup and roll for lunch. All in all, an excellent day. Thoroughly recommended for anyone starting out and wishing to frame for yourself or indeed as a launchpad to start a business. Thank you."

"Excellent course! Can't thank Ady enough for sharing his knowledge and skills so generously with a complete novice ... not to mention his patience. A great day which I have no hesitation in recommending to others. Thanks to Ady, I came away with a beautifully framed piece of "needlework" together with some new skills and a better insight into what needs to be considered when framing my (or other people's) work. Thank you Ady and Cath (lovely lunch and hospitality)."

"This is a fantastic experience from start to finish. Ady’s teaching style is to show you how to perform each required step with excellent precision and then you complete that on your own art work so that you have a completed mounted and framed item to take home with you. The set up is very welcoming with a super hot lunch served by the lovely Cathy. Not only that but full instructions are emailed out to you at the end of the day for future reference - this is such a nice touch and not one I have seen from any other course I have completed."

"This was such an enjoyable and informative course. My husband and I didn't really know what to expect and on the way there were wondering how it could last 6 hours - now we know! There is a lot to learn and Ady took us patiently and expertly through each step until we had a professional looking (if we say so ourselves!) end product. We definitely had to concentrate but we enjoyed every minute and were buzzing from what we'd achieved and learned. It makes you realise how much work, skill, time and specialist kit is behind these crafts."

"An excellent day. 1 to 1 tuition on framing learning the correct archival technique. Finished product was professional standard. Learnt so much more than just framing ( organisational skills +++). Cannot recommend highly enough "

"Thoroughly enjoyable course in a lovely location and workshop. Ady was friendly, patient, and clearly explained everything. We learned a lot and came to appreciate just how much work and precision the process of framing artwork involves. Went home with two beautifully framed paintings in tow. Beyond my expectations. I would certainly recommend. "

"100% Recommended. Ady was brilliant from start to finish. After explaining what I wanted to do (frame a shirt), he was nothing but positive and engaged. The day was great, working at your pace with a calm and patient manner. I got a fantastic picture frame and a load of new skills."

"It was a genuine pleasure to have a day’s training from someone so clearly skilled, and also with high standards. The hours sped by (aided by a lovely lunch and good company) and, when leaving, I felt a real sense of accomplishment when looking at the frame I had constructed from start to finish."
