Another fantastic and enjoyable course. Such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Learnt lots of new and exciting techniques and have left feeling very inspired to go and practise new skills learnt. Annabelle was as brilliant as ever. She makes you feel very at ease and takes time to show you anything you are unsure of.
