We had a fantastic afternoon making wreaths at Island Crafts. Gabby was an absolutely wonderful host – warm, welcoming, and made everyone feel at ease.
My daughter's and I found the guidance and creativity helped us craft beautiful masterpieces that we are truly proud of and will treasure for ever.
Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun and inspiring activity

Thank you Gabby and co for our fantastic family wreath making session. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Your knowledge and kindness made us feel instantly at ease and gave us the encouragement to produce a personalised wreath, all of which were great looking. We were all so proud of what we achieved with your guidance. I can’t recommend you highly enough and we will most definitely be returning for the spring/summer wreath making experience.

Attended Gabbys wreath making workshop yesterday and had so much fun. Met new people, so sociable.
Loved the fact started with a circle of hessian and created a Christmas wreath.
Gabby is a fabulous teacher and makes it so much fun on how she explains crafting.
Can’t recommend her highly enough!!!

A great experience with fun and purpose, run superbly by you Gabby. Our "Vision Board" workshop was excellent and everyone was completely absorbed in making their story board, with your guidance and the time just flew by.
Your enthusiasm shines out and encouraged us to be creative. Thank you from all of us, for an enjoyable time.
A real delight on our special family holiday

I went for my first Macrame Plant Pot Hanger workshop today with Gabby and I absolutely loved it! She's such a great, fun and very patient teacher and really inspires you to be your best creative self. Crafting with Gabby is so therapeutic and relaxing, a great way to escape from the everyday stresses that life throws at you, and a brilliant way to learn a new skill. And she makes a mean lemon drizzle cake too!! I'm really looking forward to doing some more workshops with Gabby soon.

Have had two fantastic craft workshops with Gabby & loved every minute. I’m a total novice and she was so encouraging, motivational and positive and made it really easy for me to make something beautiful. She is also so much fun and easy to talk to and I can’t wait to try my next craft workshop

We had a lovel time with Gabby making Xmas wreaths at Medina Xmas market. Gabby was friendly and approachable, giving hints and tips to make showstopper Xmas wreaths. We had a fun time and will definitely be looking at some more crafting sessions with Gabby in the future!
