I just thought that I would let you know that our main invitations have been going down a treat – and we have received excellent feedback from our guests complimenting us on our invitations and the design! One of our friends even commented that they thought it was "the nicest wedding invitation they had ever seen! "

It has been so refreshing working with Arterworks in developing my wedding stationery. You have provided such a bespoke service, working with me on a 121 basis. You really have been so adaptable, helpful, and patient whilst I have been trying to make up my mind on designs! So many thanks! I cannot believe these are individually handmade at such a reasonable price. I really can't thank you enough - the stationery was just beautiful!"

I just want to thank Arterworks for the amazing canvas pictures that you have created for us. They are just so unique and it is just brilliant that you were able to cater for what we wanted in terms of colour etc. In my opinion, these are even better than you would get in the shops! We have had so many people comment on them! Get ready for the large orders coming your way!

Thank you Arterworks!

We really appreciate all the ideas you have given us so far and I have only yesterday passed on your details to two other people I work with who are planning their weddings. The comments we have had about the invites has been fantastic and people have been really impressed. I hope you may get some other business as a result. You have been extremely helpful to us of which we are both very grateful.

Kind Regards,
Natalie & Phil

Carol Arter (artist) donated gift to Sturry Primary School

Three weeks ago I read an article in the Heme Bay KM Gazette regarding the above named lady artist, who with the help of the children from Sturry Primary School, painted a wall and then donated the work she had done to the school.

I was very impressed by this story, as the view from my kitchen window was a white wall some 16 feet long and 6ft high and the only view was this and the roof of the bungalow next door. I rang the number in your article and Mrs Carol Arter contacted me some hours later to make an appointment to view my very non descript wall.

In 8 hours she transformed it into something absolutley stunning, terracotta pots full of wonderful flowers, climbers going every which way and a sea view with mountains in the background a sandy beach in the foreground, seagulls flying by and a very colourful sailing boat, I have been transported to a desert island, truly wonderful, she has a talent which everyone interested in art should know about. As well as the above mentioned wall, I asked her if she would put cartoon characters on the wall in my grandchildrens bedroom, in another 8 hours she drew & painted a scene of characters, my grandchildren came to stay the day after she finished, I had not told them about their new bedroom, their faces were a picture to behold and they said "Nanny can we stay here forever" quite magical.

I am writing to thank you personally for the marvellous mural that is such an attractive addition to the Infant outdoor play area. It really brightens up that space and has provided a stimulating focus that is much admired.

Your cheerfulness and the way you positively involved all the walking bus children (valuing their drawings and contributions, and including them effectively into the overall design) has resulted in all the staff and children in the school feeling very positive about the whole process, as well as the finished article. Thank you for spending your own time to give us something that will enhance our environment for years to come.

Yours sincerely
Mr Andreo/Sturry Primary School

Dear Carol

I would like to thank you for the fantastic box you created for me. It depicted all the aspects of Joel's life beautifully, I especially liked how all the images were flowing into the next.

I will send you pictures at a later date. Again thank you from the bottom of my heart
