We really appreciated all the extra touches – especially the homemade cake.
A.DNorfolk
We felt so well looked after – your home and studio are just idyllic.

Everyone had a wonderful time and has talked of little else since. We all now have ambitious plans for mosaic tables, floors, walls etc.

I really enjoyed my day in this creative haven near Wirksworth. The studio is well lit with plenty of natural light and the class size was nice and small.

All in all, it was a brilliant couple of days, well worth it, and I can highly recommend the course. Many thanks to all.

I have been to Zantium Studios three times and each has been a wonderful experience. Fantastic hospitality, plus lovely lunches and cakes! Great tuition, I have learnt so much in a short space of time.

Every detail was fantastic - the warm welcome, beautiful studio, inspiring tuition, lovely materials, wafts of freshly made soup & cake, excellent company of others on the course, pace of work and the abundant creativity. Thank you.

The studio is a lovely place to work and the garden a calming place to go for breaks. I have really enjoyed the company of all the interesting people I have met on the courses. Can't wait to go back!
