Thank you very much for Family pottery course! My daughter and I enjoyed the sessions together. I highly recommend the course to anyone who want to do activity with child / children. Instructor was very friendly, helpful and informative.

Kumi

I did Oil Painting for Beginners and loved it. The atmosphere was relaxed, I learned a lot and enjoyed the company of my classmates. I'll be back - in fact, I've signed up for next term!

Anne

Brilliant jewellery course to make a ring in a day. Loved the quality of tuition, tools provided, and I'm delighted with the end result!
Location perfect for me as I could cycle there. Thank you - I'll be booking more courses!

l like Swarthmore as it is a good place to meet other people to chat to in the café in the breaks. l have learned how to read out loud, how to use a computer and maths skills.

I like it here because of the students and staff being so nice. I enjoy the courses, I do maths, English and life skills. I have been coming to Swarthmore for almost 20 years with my wife. We all have a laugh here and meet new friends and learn all sorts of things.
