What an absolute gem!! Melinda and Emma welcomed us with bright smiles and warm hospitality into their enchanting venue adorned with fairy lights and sparkle. It was recommended to us via the Airbnb that we were staying at, and was utterly fantastic. We chose to make scented candles from a vast array of crafts on offer (none of us are creative!), but we whiled away the hours chatting, experimenting, enjoying home made cake, watching the stream, the ducks, the birds - what a joy! Their easy company made us feel like we had known them years and was absolutely incredible. Please drop in/book a session - you will not be disappointed. We will absolutely come back and will share their details far and wide to support their initiative, which is wonderful. Well done ladies - thank you for a stunning afternoon....the candles turned out pretty well too!!! We took them away in gift boxes having made our own scents and colours - roll over Jo Malone!!!!

Fantastic workshop making a dried flower and willow wreath. Loved everything about it.. many more crafts to try in the future too. Thank you ladies for the tuition, coffee and cake.. excellent way to spend an afternoon.

A most enjoyable day at Larkswold, making silver metal clay jewellery. It was so lovely to learn some new skills and I was impressed by how many pieces we could make in one day. Such a friendly, relaxed atmosphere with delicious lunch and endless tea and cake. I will be back soon, thank you.

I had the most magical time making
My Christmas wreath. So many wonderful choices of materials to create the wreaths. Fabulous tuition and perfect hospitality. A real treat to start the festive season. Thank you ladies 🙏🎄

Absolutely incredible experience! My mum and I did the willow weaving course as a gift for her birthday and I couldn't have been happier.
From start to finish the day was so lovely, the location and setting of Larkswold is stunning and instantly gets you in the crafty mood. We were offered refreshments and cake throughout the day and had the most incredible homemade lunch, we were kept well and truly energised for the course!
The willow weaving was challenging but so rewarding and Kate's knowledge and help got us leaving with two amazing animals! Everybody in our group had stunning end products and I think we were all amazed at ourselves for what me managed to create.
We will be back for more courses as this place was the best we've ever been to.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful day!!

I had a brilliant time at lino cutting, it was very relaxing, great to meet new people and everyone’s prints were very successful. I would thoroughly recommend it.
Great hosts too with lovely refreshments x

We had a fantastic afternoon glass fusing at Larkswold. Very welcoming and lovely homemade cakes and hot drinks. Caroline was great throughout the session supporting us with our designs. Very excited to see what they look like when they have been in the kiln.

We had the most amazing Day of Loveliness at Larkswold on Saturday with Melinda. This day was a perfect-: welcoming, relaxing, fulfilling, creative & productive.
The range and quality of materials was
second to none and Melinda’s friendly help & guidance throughout the day enhanced the experience in the most idyllic setting.
We enjoyed the delicious & generous homemade food & refreshments that were always readily available.
This is my third visit to Larkswold and I will be returning.
Highly recommended.

I had a great morning learning the art of silversmithing and came home with a beautiful silver ring which is now permanently worn on my finger. Caroline the instructor was excellent and looked after everyone brilliantly. Coffee and delicious cakes were served to us as we worked and there was a surprise at the end .of the session. While our rings were at the final stage in the polisher ……we enjoyed a glass of prosecco ! What fabulous end to a memorable morning.

It can only be five stars for this little gem. We had a gorgeous afternoon at Larkswold making autumn wreaths. Melina and Emma have created a cosy and inspiring place to explore creativity whilst eating as much home made cake as you can manage. These workshops make brilliant gifts, my friend and I each have our wreaths hanging in our kitchens and are looking forward to a return trip. Thank you both so much and congratulations on a fantastic offering xx

Fantastic craft experience in a beautiful cotswold setting. A real hidden gem offering a wide range of craft classes. I did a morning of silversmithing and made a bangle. Everything from the location, tuition to the warm and welcoming hospitality was exceptional. Highly recommended for a morning or day to recharge and create something beautiful.

I was treated to an afternoon of Brush Lettering at Larkswold for my birthday and I can honestly say it was pure heaven. The surroundings, endless refreshments and fresh cakes divine and the team were so hospitable and fun. I will definitely book on again and can't wait for learning and discovering creative skills. Thank you Larkswold. LOVE IT... pure joy!

Had a brilliant morning bangle/ring workshop. Caroline is a very patient teacher working at just the right pace and everyone was delighted with the end results.
Added bonus was the refreshments on offer and being in an inspirational environment.
Will definitely do more!

We loved our Larkswold experience at the weekend. We did the half day silver rings and bangles workshop and loved it. Fabulous setting, such a warm and friendly team. Melinda was a brilliant host and Caroline who ran the session was brilliant. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to come back and try another experience. Thank you x

Lovely warm welcome and comfortable surroundings, you feel immediately relaxed. Loved the ceramic plate painting, gentle guidance and advice to help you sink into the activity and switch off from the outside world! Thanks everyone x

Have now set this as a tradition! Christmas wreath making at Larkswold.

From the minute you walk into the Larkswold studio you are treated as a friend. A warm welcome from Melinda and Emma sets you up for a fabulous festive time. They teach you all you need to know at a perfect pace giving help if you need it. Plenty of foliage, accessories and beautiful ribbons so there was lots for everyone to choose from. Beautiful homemade cakes were offered and tea, coffee and delicious mulled wine. The atmosphere was magical. Candles, fairy lights and soft background Christmas music.

Larkswold is not just for Christmas though it's an all-year-round happy place to be!

My son, to my surprise booked a silversmith day as a birthday gift having found Larkswold on a Google search. It was a wonderful day from start to finish. In a beautiful tranquil setting I managed to make two wonderful pendants and a bracket under Caroline’s excellent guidance. The lunch and cake was delicious making it a perfect day Thank you

Fabulous setting with Emma and Melinda as fantastic hosts, relaxed environment and nothing too much trouble. Amazing cake, drinks and mulled wine. We thoroughly enjoyed our block printing and I'm sure we will be back. If you haven't
been I would strongly urge you to book a session, loads to choose from.

Thoroughly enjoyable Christmas wreath making workshop, hosted by Melinda and Emma, who went all out to give us a warm, memorable experience. They were on hand to give helpful advice and guidance, but in an unintrusive way. All the materials were provided, as well as copious tea, delicious cakes and even mulled wine and mince pies at the end. Absolutely brilliant!

Had a fantastic afternoon making Dried flower Wreaths with Melinda and Emma. Very lovely ladies who welcomed us with open arms, lots of cake, coffee and Prosecco! Very relaxed afternoon in the most amazing surrounding. A perfect way to start the weekend and learn and new craft. So pleased with the results. I can’t wait to come again and try block painting in November.
