What our customers think…

“Thanks so much to you and Ros it was such an inspiring and rewarding morning. I have not managed to switch off that well from work for a very long time! I will always think of you all when I look at my board and I am excited to think what I am going to include on it for my future!!”

Ellie Harrison

“It was a fantastic morning. Thank you Emma and Ros. You were both so patient and kind whilst I battled my corners!! It’s the first time in a long time that I didn’t look at my emails for hours, and didn’t want to. Very best wishes to you all and hope to catch up again soon (at another workshop I hope)”

Sarah Smithson

“Thank you so much Emma and Ros. I had a lovely day too. I felt so relaxed with you and everyone which is quite an achievement in itself at the moment. Loved making the notice board and seeing everyone else make theirs too, it felt like a real team day. I showed my board off when I got back to the office and can’t wait to put it up. I’ll send you a photo. Thanks for such a lovely day and lovely food to- you both looked after us so much and we really appreciate it. I’m already thinking of doing something similar with our members.”

Jenny Alcock

“Going to Emma’s workshop you know you’re in for a special afternoon. If you are looking to do something different to take you away from the everyday then the chapel in Scholar Green is the place. Lose yourself in a creative workshop and take away your own hand made item along with memories that will last forever not forgetting the friendships that you’ll make!”

“Our Team Building event took place with Emma and her staff and it was a wonderful day. Brought out everyone’s creativity and we were so well looked after the whole day! I left with a new enthusiasm for all things upholstery and I can’t wait to visit again, it looks fabulous on my wall.”

Susan Read
Sinclair Law Solicitors

“I attended a wellbeing upholstery workshop in July 2024 with a Group of charity leaders in Cheshire. We had the best day with Emma and each made a fabulous ‘pin board’ to take home.

I would thoroughly recommend Emma and can’t wait to go back.”

“Spent an incredible morning at the stunning chapel with Emma & Ros. The atmosphere was super relaxed and friendly and the hospitality was second to none. Emma and Ros had such a lovely way of teaching and demonstrating the skills to us. It really gave me the confidence to give it a try despite not being a very creative person. I was so pleased with the end result of my notice/vision board. It is stunning. The organisation and advanced prep that had gone into the workshop meant that everything flowed so seamlessly (no pun intended!) and made the experience incredibly relaxed and enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Semper Hopkins to anyone. If you give one of their workshops a try, I can promise you won’t regret it! Thanks Emma & Ros xx”

Nicola Marshall

“Thank you to Emma & Ros for a great afternoon! We all really enjoyed this – it was such a lovely creative activity and a great chance to switch off and spend time together as a team in the run up to Christmas, thank you. My expectations were exceeded from the venue, the food and refreshments, the training and the fun we had together! “

Charlotte Dean

“We had the most wonderful day with Emma, she is the perfect tutor and made it really enjoyable to make our footstools! I can’t recommend the day workshop enough and love my new piece of custom furniture.”

Katie Rudin
Akerlof B-Corp

“It was lovely working on a clear project and feeling supported when unsure. Lovely to make choices allowing individuality.
Great being all together and achieving something. The workshop was easy going and it was lovely to work alongside colleagues.
Enjoying focusing on the task but still having fun! Very enjoyable with clear instructions and support.”

Skills For Care

“What a complete joy it was to attend Emma’s brilliant upholstery workshop this week!
Emma is a fantastic host and tutor. Everything from the welcome, to the demonstrations and explanations, the individual coaching was just perfect.
We all left having had some brilliant conversations, made great connections and with a simply beautiful vision/notice board that we’d each hand crafted
As someone who’s worked with hundreds of teams and been delivering team building events for over 25 years, this was something I could definitely see would add value to many of those!”

Kerry Lockyer
Oomph Learning & Development Ltd

“I highly recommend Emma’s upholstery team building courses. They are a fantastic way for teams to connect and learn about each other, whilst also learning new skills and creating something special to take away.
Upholstery is very mindful so the workshop is very relaxing and the chapel space that Emma works from has such a “get away from it all” feel.
I doubt anyone would regret having taken part.”

Gill Fox
The Nantwich Clinic

“Emma is an outstanding provider of high-quality workshops tailored to the development of your team’s mental health & individual needs. In a wonderful old atmospheric building, she carefully guides everyone into creative construction.
Highly recommended if you or your team wish to breath connect and engage in a fantastic team event.”
