Host & Everything Else
Vanessa from ShedLight was excellent, very friendly and helpful and explained everything really well. It was a very enjoyable morning. We were a very small group, which was nice and meant there was plenty of time for Vanessa to help each of us and also time for us all to chat and drink tea. The location was good, easy to find and the room was perfect. I would definitely recommend this event and would be happy to do other similar events.
I really enjoyed this course. The instructor was a nice lady and obviously knew her subject and how to teach it. I’m pleased with the result. Would definitely recommend it.
"As a complete beginner I came away from this half day course on drum lampshade making absolutely delighted with the lovely lampshade I had made under Vanessa's tuition. She guided us through all steps of the process and calmly helped to correct a mistake I had made so it was invisible on the finished product."
"I have just spent a very enjoyable morning making a lampshade and am very happy with the professional looking result! Vanessa was very patient and it was a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I wouldn't have been able to produce such a successful lampshade without the careful guidance of Vanessa."
