A great course with lots of hands-on sampling. Great idea to hold it in a school which is much more realistic than an outside venue, gives ideas on taking creative inspiration back to the classroom.

Fabulous presenter. Gave loads + loads of information and ideas. I feel really inspired! Loved the practical samples we did. Would highly recommend!

Having been to one of Nicky's workshops, I used one of her lessons and received an 'Outstanding' observation.

Loads of info which was GREAT. All really useful & relevant. Brilliant starting point for newish Art & Design teacher. Thank you so much.

Superb day - so inspirational! So much covered and a LOT of new skills learnt. Thanks!!
