"Great course - whether you want to discover Saori, or alternatively come for refresher sessions. Very friendly, everyone can work at their own pace, and Amanda gives clear and positive feedback. Easy to find, free car parking. Highly recommend. "

Faye reviewed: SAORI creative weaving day

"Amanda is very warm and welcoming, she demonstrates and explains everything clearly, then you’re free to weave away in your own creative style. Help was available throughout the day to provide further techniques to progress your weaving style if you choose, it’s all very relaxed. I enjoyed the day very much and would definitely do it again. "

BEAUTIFULcloth SAORI Studio responded:

"Thank you so much Faye for this lovely review! It was a joy to welcome you into the studio and watch how your weaving grew as you developed your own style. You created a fabulous piece of cloth which you should be proud of!"

Karen reviewed: SAORI creative weaving day

"I had a really enjoyable day with Amanda. I have never done any Weaving before and was a little apprehensive that i wouldn't "get it" . Amanda was so helpful and explained everything really well. She gave a short introduction to the history behind this sort of weaving and the inception of the looms before demonstrating the various techniques. The choice of thread colours and "treasures" made me feel like a kid in a sweet shop! I am so pleased with my finished piece which I am turning into a hanging for my craft room wall. If you are on any doubt about whether you have the ability to do this, don't as I guarantee you will have a super day and a piece of weaving to be proud of. Thank you Amanda 😊 🙏 "

"This was a wonderful day of creativity. So many resources to use along with a few pieces I took of my own too. It was a friendly group who were all supportive of each other. The looms are very user friendly. My sister and I created a wonderful sentimental piece of wall art to treasure forever. Thank you for a wonderful experience. "

Chris Reid reviewed: SAORI freeform weaving 2 day beginners' course

"I attended the Saori 2 Day Beginners Course. My previous experience of weaving was from primary school 65 years ago! We were welcomed into a calm space with a ‘sweet shop’ of threads and beads to inspire us. Amanda introduced us to the principles of Saori weaving in a totally unthreatening way. We were soon on the looms and exploring the techniques we’d been introduced to. Amanda skilfully assisting and encouraging as required. The 2 days went far too quickly and I for one was left wanting more. I’ve found myself looking at colour and texture around me more observantly I was seduced by the bright colours of the threads available but would now love to try something in muted shades as seen in Amanda’s fabulous examples. Thank you Amanda for your patience and inspiration."

Janice reviewed: SAORI creative weaving day

"Two of us joined a lovely supportive and creative ( 4 students in total) group to try this weaving for the first time. It was a lovely day, very relaxing and calming. Amanda was really helpful, constructive, and keen for everyone to do their very best and to enjoy the day. She was really generous with her wool etc, knowlege , not to mention refreshments. Thanks for a great day Amanda, couldn't have enjoyed it any more, and will definitely be back for more."

BEAUTIFULcloth SAORI Studio responded:

"Thank you Janice for your kind words. You produced a beautiful piece of cloth, fully embracing the SAORI principles, It was lovely to share the joy of SAORI weaving with you and I hope to see you again soon for some more weaving."

Maureen reviewed: SAORI creative weaving day

"I had a lovely day with Amanda, learning Saori weaving and becoming totally absorbed in the task. Amanda has an extensive knowledge of the art of Saori weaving and explained the basic technique, answering all our questions and showing us additional ways to produce different effects. I was pleasantly surprised to have completed a wall hanging of almost a metre in length in one day. "
