Sandra Alderson reviewed: SAORI weaving taster session

"I thoroughly enjoyed my two hour taster session with Amanda. We were given a brief history of the process and introduced to the different looms. Amanda was very attentive in getting us going - coordination is a challenge, but she ironed out my tangles with ease! I'm looking forward to booking a longer session and would heartily recommend this course taught by Amada."

"This course was fabulous. Totally absorbing and I went home ‘buzzing’. I loved every minute and learned so much from Amanda who was a very generous and encouraging tutor. Thank you"

Gina and Kirsten reviewed: SAORI creative weaving day

"We attended the one day workshop with Amanda at BEAUTIFULcloth SAORI Studio. We had a wonderful day weaving in our chosen colours. The studio is well equipped and we had plenty of time to learn and practice the techniques that Amanda taught is over the day. We are delighted with our finished textiles, which we will be hanging in our respective homes. The studio is well situated close to independent shops, so it is worth allowing time to visit the bakery, bookshop and health food shop. Free car park just five minutes’ walk away. "

BEAUTIFULcloth SAORI Studio responded:

"Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so glad you enjoyed your time in the studio and embraced the SAORI philosophy to create beautiful wallhangings!"

Helen Morgan reviewed: SAORI weaving taster session

"I thoroughly recommend Amanda’s 2 hour Saori weaving session, even if you’ve done some traditional weaving before. I found the Saori philosophy refreshingly inspiring - encouraging inner creativity and expression (that I find can be difficult to access) to evolve into a lovely weaving sample to take home. I’m looking forward to booking a day course to continue learning about the Saori techniques."
