"I thoroughly recommend this course. I am new to weaving and appreciated Alice’s welcoming, knowledgeable and patient approach. The group size allowed each of us to go at our own pace which I found invaluable. Such a lovely relaxing way to spend a Saturday in a great venue too. Thank you Alice - I have found a new hobby :) "

"I spent a wonderful relaxing day last Saturday with Alice. Weaving is something I had not done before, but all was explained patiently and calmly. The choice of material/wool was amazing, dipping into a bag like children at Christmas!! I am thrilled with my finished sample including tassels, It will be a reminder a special workshop."

"I recently attended this course with my friend and we both had a really enjoyable experience. Alice was patient and clear with her instructions. We both came away with pieces of work we are very pleased with. We met some lovely people and am now intending to buy a beautiful hand loom-made with repurposed wood- to continue on learning and making. We would both highly recommend. "

"I had a lovely time on the day weaving workshop. It was relaxed and friendly, in a really nice environment, and Alice was an excellent teacher. I purchased a loom at the end and the workshop gave me everything I needed to get started on weaving at home and I have not stopped since!"

Gitte reviewed: Introduction to Frame Loom Weaving

"I really enjoyed the introduction to frame loom weaving with Alice. I'm not a complete beginner, and Alice instead helped me 'crack the code' on weaving with multiple shuttles at a time. There was a lovely atmosphere, not least thanks to Alice who has such a calm way about her. She has a wonderful attitude to craft and to life and effortlessly combines the two. I highly recommend spending a day learning to weave."

Viki reviewed: Introduction to Frame Loom Weaving

"A wonderful way to spend the day! The studio is a warm space surrounded by Alice's work,books and looms which are so inspiring. As there are small numbers on the workshops, everyone can work at their own pace and without pressure and Alice is generous and passionate to share her knowledge and skills. Looking forward to the Macraeme workshop next!"

"I absolutely loved this weaving workshop and would highly recommend it. It was really fun in a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. We learnt the basics as well as several different techniques and how to work with different materials. The small class size was ideal, as everyone felt fully supported. Alice was very patient and let us do our thing, but was always there to help and provide advice and tips. She encouraged us to try out new things, which was very inspirational. A great day out on your own or with friends/family!"
