"Fantastic day making a willow hare with Rachel Harwood. She was fantastic at making sure we understood each stage of the process and got us through the whole day on time. I was a complete novice but ended up with a sculpture I was really happy with. I really enjoyed this and would recommend this to everyone. "

"First time willow sculpturor and I can’t wait to do another one! Rachel takes you through methodically and gives you confidence. Never leaving anyone behind but allowing everyone to work on their piece with minimal interruption. I was over the moon at my finished piece. "

Claire Freeman reviewed: Willow Hare Workshop

"Absolutely loved this workshop. I had been looking for a while to find a hare that I liked the look of. This one was great, nice chunky solid body with detail in the ears. Some hares on other workshops look a bit sparse. Rachel was a good tutor and explained things really well. She took time to go round everyone and help/answer questions. I think we were all impressed that our hares turned out to look just like the one on the literature. Would definitely recommend."

"What a beautiful day we had creating a 4foot willow hare. Our tutor Rachel was amazing we were all beginners at weaving, however Rachel took us step by step for us all to create our hares in a patient and encouraging way. We all learnt so much about this fascinating craft as Rachel was so knowledgeable. Will definitely recommend this course and will book on the next one to make a deer."
