Reviews for Creative with Nature

I did the apron course and completely impressed myself even with some hand stitching. Cathy was brilliant and very helpful - has a lot of experience and patience. I have signed up to the leather satchel weekend in July.

Time flies on these courses, loved it, seeing something amazing you have made yourself, with help from Joe, who is a brilliant teacher. Will definitely be doing more...

Joe is a really friendly, helpful and patient teacher. I was so pleased that I managed to create a reindeer and a goose in a short time.
She is well organised and supplies all materials.

I have attended 3 of Joevenka’s courses and they are such great fun. Joe is such a fantastic and patient tutor, enabling everyone to produce a unique creation. I now proudly display my heron and pheasant alongside a hare. My neighbours were so impressed by my heron and hare that we arranged a private course for 10 of us in our village hall to sculpt a bird of our choice. My next aim is to attend a stag/reindeer course. Thank you Joe for the opportunity.

Tried this course as well, again loved it. Surprised at how I could make something so beautiful in silver, again a brilliant teacher Laura, learnt a lot.

Great course! So pleased with my asymmetrical basket. Joe is an excellent teacher, very knowledgeable, calm and she has such a passion for her craft. Her love of weaving is really inspiring and she explains the complexities of willow weaving and basketry in a really accessible way. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed my asymmetrical basket course with Joe at Creative with Nature. I'm thrilled with my basket. Joe is really friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. She's an excellent teacher and patient too. Thoroughly recommended.

Jo is such a great instructor with an obvious super passion for the craft which comes across in her teaching.
This was my second course and again I loved it. The atmosphere in the studio is just lovely, I always feel very welcome.
I have learnt so much and look forward to my next course.
I would recommend without hesitation to anyone looking to book a course with Jo.

Informed tutor that knows all the technical details about her subject and delivered with a calm and inspiring manor.

A great day that passed very quickly. My efforts have pride and place in the garden now 😃.
Joe was very helpful & attentive I thoroughly enjoyed my day which had been a Mother’s Day gift from my daughters.

My friends and I really enjoyed our day. Joe is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about all things willow and we loved her enthusiasm. We came away at the end of the day feeling very proud of our pea climbers and dragonflies.

Had a lovely day. I made 2 very different pea climbers which will look great in our garden, my dragonfly was actually a bee!!
Could not have been as successful without Jo's expert help, who was happy to help many times when problems arose. She was enthusiastic about the craft and has a lot of knowledge about willow and its uses, explaining how they are growing their own willow trees.

Hare sculpting course Clitheroe. Amazing that we all came away with a finished piece. Such good fun and well taught. I am going back for the bird one in June -yay! Thanks.

Really enjoyed the day as well as the chicken that I made. Joe did an amazing job of teaching the rest of the group how to weave the herons, ducks and pheasants. I had a lovely time and was just over all really impressed with the quality of work and teaching. Will be booking another course soon.

This was my second mosaic course at CWN and I loved it. Laura is friendly, approachable and knowledgeable in her Craft. In a nutshell, splendid .
