    This was a brilliant workshop! Marie Caroline gave us a great history and background, and the tile painting was excellent. It was just lovely to spend a few hours with a group of people completely inspired and engrossed in our creations. I want to do more ;’) Can’t recommend this workshop highly enough. *****+
