So much useful advice. Love Rita!

I loved this course with Amanda Lindroth! Her approach to decorating is so relaxed and she makes it feel attainable. She explains the reasons behind her decisions and ,being on an island ,has become very resourceful and I appreciate that!
One suggestion I would make is for the cameramen to show more of the spaces she spoke about - I feel that in the other courses we were shown more of the design. Otherwise, it was excellent. I downloaded the workbook which is very helpful and has a lot of the photographs so that IS helpful!
Thank you, Creat Academy!

this course is just what I was looking for- inspiring and answering many of my open questions. I especially appreciate the online access, as from Switzerland it would be quite a journey to the UK. Thank you so much for sharing your exprience

I have long admired Mrs. Smith Hilditch's work. I find her designs highly inspiring and her take on design very professional.

Maria Speake is a pioneer in the U.K. ~ bringing an educated, artistic, and inspiring eye of a great architect to all of her projects. I did a major remodel of a Grade II listed 1926 house in Hampstead Garden Suburb in the mid-eighties. I couldn't GIVE AWAY the Oregon Pine floorboards, porcelain fittings, or handmade brick from a falling-down garden wall. Never mind selling it on to recycling or salvage yards. The common response was... "too expensive to transport, a hassle to pull out of the building, or we already have too much in that category." As an American, I was shocked that the state of play in London was seemingly no better than in Seattle.

I had lived through the MCM era [which has much to recommend itself] but the tsunami of Formica, exposed plywood, concrete breeze block, plastic, and shag carpeting [the type that required a wooden rake to keep looking good!] flowing into the homes of post-war America meant that Grandma's perfectly functional & fabulous Hoosier cabinet was yanked out of the kitchen and thrown on the scrapheap.

What a difference one generation of homeowners makes in the grand scheme. Maria and Adam are pioneers who should not be taken for granted... what a contribution they have made to the buildings in England and beyond --from starter homes to grand edifices -- Thank you!

My experience in interior design is zero. My knowledge is zero. I am able to be introduced to this new focus with a wide variety of instructors with varied backgrounds. I look forward to learning new skills and new perspectives for decorating and design. My next area to explore will be gardening and floral arrangements,

I have always been very interested in Interior design, have taken short courses here and there but my life was never settled enough to spend as much time as I would have liked. Friends who were designers helped me out, again, here and there, so this wonderful, new opportunity to follow those who are professionals and passionately interested in the art of designing a room to calm or excite, delight or awaken curiosity and pleasure or to offer peace and well being is more than exciting for me! Thank you! And, , through the internet, I can follow along when I can. It is just wonderful! Thank you, thank you!

Although I grow seeds a lot it has been helpful to see slightly different ways of doing this. Also the main enjoyment for me has been to see some seeds I haven't ever tried.
Also the organisation and planning of what to grow is something I never do and this has been really good, and seeing Clare Fosters garden full of the most amazing flowers is lovely too.She is very clear ever so inspirational and yes I'm enjoying it very much.

I simply love the collection of artists Create Academy has gathered and the polish of each video. Truly inspiring!

the stories were great. this is my first class and thought it might have more How-tos. I haven't looked at the guide yet so will do that and may find more there.

Very easy to set up and find your way around. Very good value, and I’m binge watching. Beautiful images and inspiring people

I fell in love with Create Academy after watching Arthur Parkinson's gorgeous course on Growing a Spectacular Garden in Pots. Now I am on my second annual subscription and I'm always eager to see what new classes will be released next. I'm never disappointed! My subscription is a way to escape, find inspiration and encouragement, and indulge my creative side. The course instructors are stars in their fields, yet they radiate generosity as they share their knowledge and career experience. These courses are worth watching just for the beauty, as well, due to top-notch photography. For those who love gardens and interiors, Create Academy is a must-have.

This is a fantastic course - l have learnt so much not only about what flowers to plant, when and how but the easy way Sarah transforms them into marvellous arrangements. Not only does she make it look easy - it IS easy and l now have the confidence to play with arrangements in a way l never would have done before this course - and guess what? - they look amazing!!! And that’s before l get into the main picking season! Recommend this course 100%

I purchased a year membership and have completed three interior design courses so far, each one has been incredibly insightful, engaging and thoughtfully delivered. The accompanying workbooks are a fantastic addition, providing beautifully organised takeaways alongside the many pages of notes form each lesson. The new course with Emma Sims-Hilditch has been the standout for me — exceptional and deeply inspiring. I’m already looking forward to completing many more courses and can’t wait learn in some new areas. Highly recommend, would make a perfect gift for anyone who loves interiors or refreshing their own home!

Love the selections of courses in all areas of creativity. Fantastic hosts and instructors, beautifully filmed!
I plan to be a subscriber/student on Create Academy forever!

I joined Create Academy almost 2 years ago when we were at the later stage of a custom build. Having access to these expert creators, leaders in their fields, gave us the tools and confidence to make good choices for ourselves.
It is so exciting to login and see people I have followed for years, sitting with me in my living room, sharing ideas to add beauty to our home, inside and out. I am also discovering new creators that are inspiring. Create Academy never gets stale. There is always something new and wonderful to discover. Worth every penny.

I enjoyed learning the detailed steps and the order for curating a home. Absolutely fabulous. Thank you!

I am absolutely LOVING the courses, however, I am frustrated as my gift code doesn’t seem to be working and I have been charged for the courses despite being given a year long subscription to the entire website. I hope to resolve this soon.

Gosh I really enjoyed the flower pressing course with JamJar Edit! It was beautiful and so inspiring, wonderful to sit, relax and watch at my own pace. Thank you
