"Marianne is an amazing teacher! She demonstrates techniques slowly and clearly, explaining each step as it is reached. She is endlessly patient and shares her vast knowledge of her subject generously. The pace was matched well to our beginner level, and Marianne gave us plenty of encouragement. Everyone in our group was making something different and it speaks volumes that we all left thrilled with our finished baskets. Cannot recommend her classes highly enough."

"I had THE most wonderful and relaxing morning of weaving with Marianne. She is so relaxed and knowledgeable and can facilitate different levels of learners at the same time. The pace was so relaxed and the setting was beautiful. We all made wonderful garden obelisks and had a lovely time chatting and making new friends along the way. I am really looking forward to booking onto a course with Marianne again soon."

"We had a lovely day. We made our obelisk under a large tree on a bright sunny day. With excellent instruction we both went home with a useful garden support and a feeling of achievement. "
