Nessie reviewed: Nettle Fibre Workshop

"I really enjoyed this day. She is a great tutor, happy to show you and show again if you need. I really slowed down and enjoyed what I was doing. I now feel confident and inspired to make nettle cordage myself and have practiced already. Thank you!"

BeeKayMakes responded:

"Thank you so much for your kind words, Nessie! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the nettle workshop – it was such a pleasure having you there. And lovely to know that you're already creating cordage :) I hope the new skills bring lots of fun and creativity to your future forest school activities. All the best, Brigitte"

Robert Adams reviewed: Nettle Fibre Workshop

"Very enjoyable and interesting course. Loads of very useful information and advice on every step of the process. Fascinating to work through and understand the process of turning a common wild plant into useful, good quality materials within a few hours. Would definitely recommend."

BeeKayMakes responded:

"Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so glad you enjoyed the workshop :) I wish you many happy foraging and cordage making hours for the summer, and perhaps you can even beat your own record in creating the longest nettle line I have ever seen on one of my courses. Thank you again for joining the nettle fun."

Jane Howard reviewed: Nettle Fibre Workshop

"I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was excellently planned, incredibly informative, and very well executed, with an engaging and eclectic content. Totally recommend. Thank you very much for starting my journey, I hope our nettle paths will cross again. One suggestion …. a welcome (grounding) hot drink on arrival would be nice. "

BeeKayMakes responded:

"Thank you for taking the time to write a review! It is lovely to hear that you enjoyed the workshop :) Thank you also for your your suggestion to offer teas and coffees earlier in the day. We usually offer a cuppa after return from foraging, but mentioning this option on arrival is a fab idea. Thank you! "

"A really informative course that I very much enjoyed. Lots of excellent information on both picking and processing nettles and also turning them into cord and thread. It was also well paced and never felt rushed. "
