As part of our 2025 local culture festival in Donabate Portrane north county Dublin, Amanda ran two workshops for us - chain stitch notebook making and lampshade making. Everything was provided and the workshops were very well recieved by all participants. The workshops were wonderfully relaxed, friendly, and enjoyable. Everything we needed was thoughtfully prepared and ready to use. Her deep knowledge of both crafts shone through - not only did she explain each step clearly, but she also shared other hints and tips . Both workshops were fantastic experiences from start to finish. Participants went home with beautifully self-crafted pieces and were delighted to have learned a new skill.
From the perspective of a festival organiser; Amanda was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I would have no hesitation in providing a recommendation for Amanda and her workshops. We will definitley welcome her to Donabate Portrane again!
Hi Ann,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We were delighted to take part in the Bleeding Pig Festival, and thouroughly enjoyed running the lampshade making and bookbinding workshops. Seeing people's creations come to life is always a joy, and we love when people learn a new skill and also take something home with them that they made themselves. Thank you for including us in your festival schedule, and we hope to work with you again in the future!
