Elizabeth Hinchliffe reviewed: Make A Rope Bowl

"A fabulous morning with Annabelle in the most beautiful setting, a stunning workshop surrounded by beautiful views! Annabelle is a wonderful teacher; making the morning such fun but productive and enabling all participants to make fabulous bowls. I was so inspired that I made a bowl the next day. The pastries and cakes were phenomenal, thanks to Alison. This was a birthday present for my sister - I'm sure I shouldn't have enjoyed it quite so much!"
