Testimonials We invited Crafty Monkey to lead a series of pottery painting workshops at the Community Christmas Fair we held in our school. It was great to see so many of our children enjoying a craft activity alongside their mums, dads, uncles, aunties, friends and grandparents. Crafty Monkey staff were fantastically well-organised, friendly and helpful – feedback from our parents, children and staff was really positive. I am already booking a return visit as a post-SATs treat for our hard-working Year 6 pupils. Jo Phillips, Head Teacher Wyton on the Hill Primary School We visited CraftyMonkey for a school trip. I took 20 reception children there to paint an egg cup, which is linked to our topic area of Easter. It was such a lovely morning, extremely chilled and relaxed. The owner of the workshop took the class and was fantastic with them, very friendly, kind and understanding that they were only 4 and 5 year olds. She taught them a few pottery rules and the children listened intently. The children all painted an Easter egg cup with no help and they really had a lovely time. When we left they were very excited by what they had done and are looking forward to seeing the final piece once it has been in the kiln. Thank you, CraftyMonkey for such an interesting, exciting, relaxing and useful school trip. Mrs Daniels, Teacher.
