"The weekend course with Marianne at Cowshed was a pleasure right from the beginning, with a warm and friendly welcome in a magical environment.
Marianne is a calm and caring teacher, overflowing with enthusiasm for her craft and very much wanting to share her knowledge and experience.
Somehow she was able to be there for all of us, patiently assisting at the right moment and in the right way.
Although there are a lot of stages to learn, and the thumbs have to get used to working hard, it was a relaxing atmosphere in which we shared that particular kind of rippling conversation that happens when all are engaged physically and mentally.
I’ve always felts that baskets are low priced…and now I really know they are, and have a deepened appreciation for the skill and time needed to make them.
We all came away happy with the baskets we had created, and each of us looking forward to making the next one!"

"Hi Judith,
Thank you so much for your review. You were a lovely, charming student and it was great to get to know you a little better. I think we all made new friends that day, didn't we?!
Hope to see you again soon at one of my other courses and in your shop of course, "Made" in Hastings.
All the very best,
Marianne
