kind words from parents of creative kids...

Thank you so much for Jenny's party. Jenny and her friends had such a good time and loved every minute of it. Lynda and Katie were brilliant - so kind and patient with the children. It was lovely seeing them all create something they were proud of and excited to take home. Jenny has already told me she would like to come back again for another one of her birthday parties!

My daughter celebrated her 9th birthday at Magpie Makes, she chose the graffiti party, and all the girls loved it. It ran so smoothly and there was plenty of time for food and cake after.
The lady running it was excellent and so helpful.
Would definitely recommend.

Very sweet birthday for my 9 year old and her friends - Linda was fab x

"I just wanted to take this opportunity to say how much Ellie loves Magpie Makes. It is the highlight of her week and she constantly "does" art all the time at home. You have really fired up her enthusiasm. I wondered when you will start taking bookings for Spring term. I will be in so much trouble if I miss the booking date!"

"Thank you again so much for the fantastic party you did for Eloise. She loved it and so did all her friends - they had a brilliant time and all love their t shirts so thank you so much."

"Thank you so much for an absolutely brilliant party last Sunday. The children LOVED it and I’ve had so many comments from parents about how impressed they were with the kawaii cushions. The whole event felt like a breeze from beginning to end. I’m just jealous Magpie Makes wasn’t around when I was a child!"

"Magpie Makes is wonderful in every way. My son (7) is always keen to join the brilliantly organised holiday art camps and we have done two Mother's Day art classes together and loved them both. Suzie and Kerry are lovely - welcoming, accommodating and patient. Their art projects are so creative and engaging - and they take you through the process step by step, making it accessible to everyone and providing inspiration when needed. The organisation of the courses is flawless and they are easily contactable via email for any questions. I would recommend their camps/clubs to everyone!"

"Just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful day today. Samara and I were saying how easy the whole process has been, and the girls are delighted with their t shirts. Grace and the girls were fantastic- even when the children did get hyper after some sugar! Thanks again, Ruby said it was one of her ‘most favourite days ever’!"

"My daughter attended her first sewing workshop in the October half term. She loved making the Halloween banner and headdress and was very proud showing them off ! My daughter found the teachers to be extremely kind and helpful teaching her new stitches and she enjoyed making new friends. She loves her weekly Magpie Makes sewing club at school and cannot wait to go to another workshop."

"My 11-year-old grandaughter has just come home with the most beautiful summer dress! She chose the fabric herself and then spent four happy afternoons cutting and constructing it under Chantal's patient instruction. She loves dressmaking and I'm so glad she's learning such a wonderful skill.”

"My teenage daughter used to come and enjoy the Magpie sewing club at school and so we jumped at the chance for her to continue developing her skills. The exploring textiles course is stretching her creatively and has also given her the confidence to take textiles GCSE at school. Maia and Natalie are inspiring teachers with patience and sensitivity to each child's needs.”

"I just wanted to email to let you know how much Ellora has been enjoying sewing club. I've spent forever trying to find her something that helps her relax and deal with the pressure of school and it seems sewing is the thing! She looks forward to Mondays so much because it's Magpie Makes day and raves about it every week. Thank you for all your efforts, care and attention!”
