Create Academy Anmeldelser 467

I've been an interior designer for over 30 years and this platform is awesome in so many ways. After watching 15 plus videos of Bunny Williams, I feel validated and secure in what I have been doing all these years and feel new excitement going forward. I've also watched several Rita Konig episodes as well as Butter Wakefield and can't wait to broaden my horizons. I plan to carve out time for a few episodes each and every day until I have seen them all!

I'm enjoying both courses, Sarah Raven and Willow Crossley. They are very easy to follow instructors and quite personable and down to earth.

I have just finished the Interior Design course on Create Academy and am extremely satisfied. The content is great; the course was very practical with a lot of tips and names of shops and suppliers. The layout is very user-friendly.

Every video lesson has a workbook that contains all the topics and tips the lesson covered. Really enjoyed it and definitely going to buy another course or subscribe!

I have just finished watching the small garden design course and now I plan to watch it all again. I thought it was delightful and although I have been gardening for years I learned a lot, particularly about the planning and design process. Butter Wakefield is so enthusiastic and joyful it is inspiring. I can’t wait to start planning a new garden or rethinking an existing one.
Not a criticism but I would like to be able to download the designs and planting plans and more information about the size and dimensions of the gardens would be very helpful.

The programs and production value are quite nice.

(2) things that are fails for me:

#1- you can not download shows so that you can watch them on a long flight, for example.

#2 - No App - means that I can’t watch it on my tv - only on devices. Would be so much more impactful seeing the rooms in a larger format that the designers are sharing.

Both are a shame that the integration has not been implemented and seems a bit behind current tech trends.

I have loved the videos that I've watched so far. The photography is beautiful. I've learned a few things, too, even though I joined more for entertainment than education.

These courses are akin to sitting across the table with some of the greatest creative minds. This is hard won wisdom generously passed out.

I took Tess Newall’s course with Create Academy and it was absolutely fantastic. Tess is an excellent teacher and the way the course has been structured and filmed was pure joy to experience. I am fully inspired and have already started implementing many of the things i have learned. Highly recommend it!

Just started my first course so early days for finding my way round the website, and haven’t checked out all the resources but pleased so far

I have been glued to Nina Campbell's course. She shares valuable insight and practical tips. I look forward to delving into more courses.

So much insight into a wonderful range of creative, interiors and gardening options. I bought the 12-month pass and have almost run out of time. It is really great value. I've most enjoyed learning about paint with Edward Bulmer - and the practical aspects and insights in Rita's courses have also been so useful.

I found out about create academy through listening to Sarah Ravens podcast. Sarah has introduced some of the teachers on her podcast which I really enjoy. Too be honest it is the treat of my day and now watching create academy too. 100% recommend informative and inspirational just love the passion that’s there brilliant

I LOVE IT!
I have been loving the gardening courses so much…I couldn’t decide which one to get…so bought a subscription for the year. I love how each one has a different design (in terms of type and color) - so they truly feel like different experiences. So happy I signed up!

On top of being a beautiful garden designer, Butter is a generous teacher. Each course is practical and unfolds in a way that sets the building blocks for creating my own garden design. I especially appreciate the resource list with all the plants. This is a course I’ll watch many times over as I build and grow my courtyard garden.

Having really enjoyed, learnt a lot gained and was inspired to make a number of contemporary quilts from your Julius Arthur course, I find myself very disappointed with designing small gardens course from Butter Wakefield
In the first part she just talked with no illustrations and the few over head shots were not enlarged to help you see her plans.
I was hoping the course would have helped in providing help in how to prepare the garden for your design, what soil, drainage etc but she only said the contractors did this. Not even advices to how to go about finding contractors. (if one can afford them.)
There was lots about enclosing the space with trellising but all the examples were on to brick walled gardens.Nothing if one has inherited low fencing.
She talked about plants with only using scientific names and not even showing the species.It was all about her working with clients but nothing about some simple ideas to use in small spaces. No talk about how to create a garden which is easy to maintain, with out a gardener.
I printed off some of the workbook notes and the type was far too small to read and were not proof read.
Large pots 800cms in diameter !!! That is bigger than my garden. Also when talking about size and scale she never articulated the measurement scale she was using.
The filming was very static and didn't engage with what a garden might look like.
In all I find myself very disappointed especially after my previous engagement.

Butter has already given me lots of useful ideas about how to se my terrace to its full! It helps that I feel we are ‘on the same wave length’ - wonderful suggestions for choices of plants, pots, garden furniture.
Her enthusiasm is infectious and she has shared with us both her own garden and 2 other examples of a brilliantly planned small garden. Her step by step approach to design is 1st class…sound, practical advice!
I sent a DM to her too via Instagram and she replied immediately! Very impressed.

I am loving this course. There is so much to learn, I will need to go through it more than once.Butter is very inspiring. I can't wait to re-design my little garden and get it working for me at last.

It made a complex process doable. Very much appreciated. I have the supplies and will be referring to the course frequently. The presenter did a great job. The camera work on the detail was perfect. Thanks again.

It was well filmed and very informative with details that I didnt know before.

An excellent course which is very well paced and organised. It simply and clearly communicates the basic technical skills of botanical art. Within a couple of lessons one is practicing and improving.
Katherine Amies is a wonderful, encouraging and inspiring teacher. I do hope that she does a follow up course.
