Ava - age 14
"I loved this course and I will definitely keep upcycling in the future...all you have to do is show up and get creative...complete creative control of what you do...This is a perfect course for all ages from me as a teenager (14) to adults and I would definitely recommend it. I was extremely pleased with the final result and enjoyed a fun day painting."
Oscar's Hogwarts Bedside
Oscar is a 10 year old Aylesbury Womble who, along with other Wombles, litter picks the streets to make it a greener, cleaner, better place to live.
Attending an in-person workshop with his Mum, Oscar went home with a Hogwarts inspired bedside of his own design. It's amazing what can be achieved with a little paint and a heap of imagination.
Flinty - age 15
"A special and fantastic day spending quality time with my teenage daughter, learning how to upcycle furniture.
Kirsty was amazing providing a well structured day, learning techniques, every detail thought of plus an addition to our house of a beautiful upcycled piece of furniture fashioned by my daughter.
Can't recommend Kirsty and the course highly enough, both my daughter and I really enjoyed ourselves and our initiation into furniture upcycling - thank you, thank you Kirsty."
