"I spent a enjoyable 2 days in the Hay Barn learning to make lampshades with Eloise Scotland. Expertly taught, with lots of hands-on advice resulted in a lovely bedroom lampshade. The next one is headed for the drawing room! A friendly group and a delicious lunch made for a great respite from the dreary January/ February weather."

"The Hay Barn has a great atmosphere. We had an excellent teacher for the lamp shade making course. Everyone was very friendly and we all had two great days with delicious lunches, and made lots of new friends and came back with a new exciting skill. Highly recommended! (Life-long Stitcher)"
