    Lampshade making!
    Had a wonderful couple of hours on the lampshade making course. Made to feel very at ease at my first attempt to make a lampshade. Excellent tuition (and patience). Never felt hurried. So pleased to end up with such a professional looking lampshade that I bought a kit to make another at home! Thoroughly recommend this course.

    A fabulous way to spend the morning!
    I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience of making recycled paper, with Wendy at The Little Craftery. The workshop itself is everything you’d hope it would be, a crafters heaven and the session is so well organised and professional but also really personal. There were endless supplies and choices and with only 2 of us attending, masses of personal attention and guidance. We came away with a handy guide to remind us of everything we’d learned and all we needed to continue our paper making at home. Can’t recommend highly enough… fabulous morning!

    A revelation!
    This was my third session at The Little Craftery, which speaks for itself. The silk paper workshop was a revelation; a fascinating and rewarding process. Competent, methodical and fun tuition as usual, plus a first rate playlist inn the background!

    Fab way to spend an afternoon.
    Such a great way to spend an afternoon. I am NOT a crafter but went along with a friend who was keen. I had a fabulous time. Wendy was a great, and patient!, teacher. There are only 4 in a session so you get real quality tuition. I really enjoyed making my macrame plant holder and came away feeling very pleased with myself. Highly recommended as an activity to do with your bestie!

    First Class Craft Session. Wendy is wonderful!
    Wendy has hit the nail on the head with a fantastic craft learning space. Excellent teaching and demonstrating. Walked away with a new craft to love and do at home.. I have lots of ideas of how to use the silk paper. Thank you Wendy, you’re amazing!

    Great Mosaics
    A very enjoyable four hours making mosaics on a Monday afternoon. Wendy explained everything very clearly. It was helpful to have templates provided to give a steer on the type of patterns which could be made. I am very much looking forward to going back to the Little Craftery for another course, hopefully soon!

    Good craft fun even for beginners
    We've been here before for a mosaic class, this time we did wet felt flowers. We are beginners at both. Wendy is a good patient teacher. If we were unsure at any stage she'd explain again or come & show us on our project. She's very encouraging too especially if you are a beginner. Wendy also does an example of whatever the class is making in front of us as a guide. Drinks on offer if you like. Good background music both times. You can see Wendy is passionate about her work. We were meant to make 2 flowers this time, but we only managed 1, Wendy was so apologetic, but we assured her it was us as beginners & not to worry. We went home with printed instructions in case we wanted to do more at home. Thoroughly enjoyed & are attending another class in May for beaded snowflakes (yes I'm aware it's not Xmas yet!!). Would recommend without a doubt.

    Silver ring making
    I was bought as a birthday gift the Ring Making class at The Little Craftery. I had an amazing morning, with 3 lovely woman, learning how to make a silver ring. I have been lucky to have attended other classes and as always there was a warm welcome, excellent tuition by Jenny and I left with a beautiful crafted ring which I made and will wear proudly. A fabulous way to spend a Saturday morning - thank you

    Soap making
    What an incredible little place! We had a wonderful couple of hours making soap… Wendy was helpful and knowledgeable! Excited to see and use our finished bars but need to wait whilst they cure and harden. 100% recommend if you enjoy crafts and want an expert to guide you! 😍🤩

What a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours making beautiful candles. Wendy was a patient, knowledgeable and very friendly teacher who explained every stage of the process clearly. We never felt pressurised to hurry up even though the 2 hours went by in the blink of an eye.
LOVED the colour and fragrance choices and the ready supply of coffee!
I would recommend to anyone interested in sampling a new craft.
The shop is beautiful too with some gorgeous pieces to browse. I challenge you to not buy something!

I would highly recommend The Little Craftery. A little gem tucked away in the heart of Worthing. Wendy is very knowledgeable and an expert in this field. She made us feel welcome and at ease and it was a fantastic learning experience in a relaxed environment. It was so enjoyable we have booked another craft session with her.

I attended the lampshade making class and thoroughly enjoyed making my own lampshade with the fabric I had selected. Wendy is an excellent tutor and guides you through each step with clear instructions and patience. I am very pleased with what I have produced and am keen to make another one to match. Definitely recommend this class!

My mum and I had a great afternoon with Wendy on the candle making course. We made lovely aromatherapy oil candles and Wendy had a fab teaching manner and was a gracious host. I thoroughly recommend the little crafters, in fact my husband is taking his mum next for her birthday present.

Spent a lovely few hours with Wendy learning hot to make candles. Wendy is a great teacher, very informative and gives lots of hints and tips. It is always very relaxed, Wendy is very friendly and also makes a great coffee. I would highly recommend The Little Craftery to anyone looking to learn something new.

I was gifted a class and I chose to have a go at making Eco soy wax candles. Wendy was an excellent teacher who took me through each step very carefully and patiently. I really enjoyed my afternoon and would recommend any of the workshops/classes. I'm really happy with the candles I made as well. Excellent value considering the time it took (3 hours) and taking home 6 candles of various sizes. I was also given a booklet with very comprehensive instructions so that I can make more from home.
