Jane Lloyd Davies –
What a fabulous workshop! Justine is an excellent tutor – an expert in her craft, patient and knowledgeable. The venue is superb, too – the event includes a delicious lunch in the pretty and tranquil surroundings of Ash Farm.
I came away with a completely skrib having had a delightful day – couldn’t be happier.
Thank you so much, Sian, for providing such a great experience!
