I just wish to thank all of the Slapton staff who provided a warm welcome and encouraging supportive attitude while on my residential. The ice breaker games were slightly awkward initially however they were essential. The activities lined up were a brilliant combination of education and enjoyment. One tutor was…
This is the first time that I have been disappointed with an FSC course. The tutors (apart from the tutor who took us to Dartmoor) appeared ill-prepared, never fully able to tell us times and what exactly activities would involve etc. The tutors also appeared to view the week as…
Fantastic course on all levels – the instructors were so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and kids loved them. The location (Cumbrae) was very special and enabled a wide diversity of viewing habits to be experienced.

An excellent course. Carole Massey is a superb tutor who gives useful demos and explains everything! I learned a lot from this course and have been inspired to try more animal portraits in pastel.
