Jooli - York Brush Making
“My husband and I met Sophia at the Living North event in York. We were really very impressed by her beautiful brushes, copper dust pans and wood turnings and learned she held workshops to learn how to make a brush. Myself, my daughter in law and her Mum attended her workshop held at Spark, York. Sophia taught her craft so well, we all managed to create our own beautiful brushes. Sophia provided all the materials as well as the tuition. Sophia is not only a very competent tutor but is a beautiful person, she is warm and friendly providing us with enough confidence to complete the course. Thank you Sophia.”

Andrea - York Brush Making
“We recently spent a most entertaining afternoon at Sophia’s brush making workshop. Sophia was an excellent tutor, we all left with professional looking handmade brushes which we were delighted with. The atmosphere amongst the small group was convivial, friendly & inclusive. I would highly recommend this workshop, definitely 5*.”
Lucy - Somerset Brush Making
“We absolutely loved your workshop, me and my sister sat admiring our works well into the night on Saturday. I have also made good use of one on my kitchen table, that also doubles up as a pottery workspace. Thank you again for a wonderful experience, it was such a pleasure.”
Janet - Haddon Hall Brush Making

Jenny - Haddon Hall Brush Making
“We had such a wonderful time, thank you. We’ve already booked the next course with Sophia in October at Haddon!
She was so kind and helpful. She inspired us to have a go ourselves in the future too. The setting was lovely and we appreciated the hot drinks too. It was lovely to do a hands-on course and get creative.”
Alison - Derbyshire Brush Making

Fiona - Haddon Hall Brush Making
“The brush making course was absolutely fabulous. Sophia was welcoming and passed on information in such a gentle way. We all made beautiful and functional brushes...to be honest I am still amazed. I couldn't recommend highly enough”
Deborah - Somerset Brush Making
“Sophia is an excellent tutor and generous with her knowledge. Brush making is a great skill to learn, not too difficult and requires few tools, so can easily be done away from the workshop. Our group of around 15 made two brushes each, from a choice of materials and binding, with the uses and peculiarities of each clearly explained. The venue just outside Frome was perfect for the occasion, easily accessible, comfortable and inviting. Highly recommended.”
