"Alison ran a whole-day training session for staff from our partner primary schools on 3D wire construction and found materials. It was a top class course, excellent value for money and Alison had clearly spent a lot of time preparing for it. Staff attending had nothing but praise for her and the content. Evaluations commented 'Really enjoyable', 'Questions answered with great clarity', 'Good pace', 'Excellent' and 'A fantastic day'. I was there and couldn't disagree."
Peter Richards Assistant HeadTeacher Abbot Beyne School, Burton upon Trent

"Thanks again for an excellent workshop...the work has been displayed in the foyer and people have already started commenting on it. It was fantastic for me that you were so well organised and brought all the equipment and tools with you. I found it very reassuring that you have taught yourself as I knew you would have an understanding of what Y9 students could achieve and how to interact with them. Your contact before the event was great. I knew that it was all organised but without getting in email every 5 minutes!"
Rachel Robinson Art Teacher Reigate Grammar School

"The best course I have ever been on. Fantastic course. Very helpful, practical and Inspiring. Great fun too."
Secondary Art teacher on 'Creative Textiles' course with Dragonfly Training

"Thank you for a fantastic day! I found it extremely inspirational and I'm dying to experiment with all my new ideas! Please keep me informed of future courses! A Creative Textiles part 2 would be fantastic? You were brilliant and very friendly/helpful. Thanks for a very memorable day! I didn't want to go home! It reminded me of being a student again where you take the time to explore and experiment as opposed to rushing things in free periods at school. Hope to see you soon!"

Primary teacher on '2D to 3D' course at Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation

"Absolutely fantastic. It took into consideration limited budgets within Art departments and focussed on using everyday items that can be recycled while suggesting cheaper options & the suppliers for specialist products. Brilliant! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and like a big kid couldn't wait to get stick in! A must for any Art teacher."
