"I booked Alice for a workshop for a bridal shower and it was so much fun would definitely recommend! Very easy to pick up the skills with Alice patiently teaching one to one where needed. It was a hit with all the ages in the party and we got to keep our hard work! Will be booking again- thank you Alice!"
