Recently attended a weeks course with Ann in Gainsborough. I travelled from Hove on the south coast and had a fantastic week with a charming and very knowledgeable tutor .I learnt so much in that short period and I am very confident I’m going to be a competent restorer In the future .I came away thoroughly enjoying the week and already putting some of what I’ve learnt into practise .

Ann is the most wonderful teacher with a huge amount of experience that she imparts brilliantly.

I learned so much on this course because she balanced perfectly teaching you with ample practical so you could learn whilst doing. That included making the classic beginner mistakes that are so important to make with an expert there to tell you how to remedy. We had great Q&A sessions that she answered perfectly and patiently. I have come away learning so much. An added bonus is I also feel I have come away with a friend for life. There may be miles between us but Ann is a lovely lady, great company with a fabulous sense of humour. It was an all-round brilliant week. One I will not forget.

I just completed this porcelain restoration course and thoroughly enjoyed it! Ann is truly an expert. She is a thorough, patient, excellent teacher with the right balance of ‘hands on’ whilst allowing you to focus on the task at hand. The course covers every aspect of the craft, so you come out with all the answers and can go home to hone your new skills. Brilliant!
