Susan reviewed: Saturday Mould Making Workshop at Ransom's Pavilion, Hitchin

"I took this course as I would like to make some earrings from leaves of my favourite plants. Tuuli organised our time together so efficiently and effectively that I can hardly believe that we covered so many options. As well as finding time to collect some plant material from the local forest garden, we made moulds using three different media and learnt how to judge quantities and depths of mould material to get the perfect result. Tuuli has a clear, thorough and efficient way of demonstrating techniques which were easy to follow. "

Tuuli Parker responded:

"Thank you so much for this feedback Susan, and the time it took. It is greatly appreciated! Kindest regards, Tuuli"
