"The workshop was absolutely fantastic. The students were all engaged and entertained and gained a joyful and interesting introduction to Shakespeare. Thank you to As Creatives for a wonderful day." Thornleigh School
"The children LOVED the workshop. They raved about the session afterwards and talked about what they had done well into the following week. The activities that Jo chose fit in perfectly with the English curriculum and the English sessions which we had already completed with year 6. We loved the sessions and would love to use As Creatives again during our Shakespeare topic next year." Dovedale School
