Reviews for Creative with Nature

I learnt more from Laura in an hour than what I’ve ever learnt from books or you tube on mosaics. Clear direction with a wonderful vocabulary Laura gave everyone encouragement and detailed knowledge of what tools and ingredients to use. An amazing day. Thank you so much. Will come back for the silver clay course.

I was amazed at my finished product. Jo was so patient with me as a complete beginner. She was very welcoming and provided beverages throughout both days.
I am looking forward to my next course.

I would highly recommend this course. I had never done any basket weaving before and by the end of the second day I had an amazing basket to take home. It was entertaining and fun and Joe teaches in a really relaxed manner, in small class sizes. Everyone works at their own speed and you never feel like you are being left behind. I will definitely do another course with Joe.

Friendly yet professional.So pleased with finished product

I had a fabulous day with Joe making a willow hare sculpture. The workshop was a delight to participate in, I learned so much from Joe especially how to create strong sculptural shapes. I can highly recommend any of her courses; its been great to learn from a truly professional artist.

Joe has facilitated a life long ambition to learn basket weaving, a wonderful and inspirational teacher, she is patient and yet firm and everyone comes away from her classes with fabulous work. Highly recommended!

My day spent at your lovely studio was wonderful. I was so inspired by this new craft and can’t wait to learn more. I even want to grow willow now. Thank you Joe

Fantastic course and so pleased with my basket. I’ve never done basket weaving before and Jo made it very easy, explaining each stage and giving lots of advice. The time went by very quickly and I am very proud that at the end I have a useable basket. I am booked on another course later this year, worth every penny, can’t wait.

Brilliant course
Jo was fantastic at showing us what to do and before I knew it I had half a basket made. Brilliant course, great company and great teaching. Thank you

Wow what a fantastic course this was. Joe was a fantastic, enthusiastic patient tutor. I made a heron on this course and it takes pride of place in my garden. As a new beginner to weaving I found it easy to follow. I would recommend this course to anyone.

From an 'Art Basket' to an asymmetrical one, a bread basket, a bird feeder, a pea climber, a foraged basket... Joe is indeed very creative with nature and such an excellent teacher who creates such good vibes in her workshops. Can't rate the experiences highly enough.

I have attended many courses with Joe. I especially liked the foraged basket course. The 2 day courses are excellent. The venue is great with many places within a few yards to buy lunch

My daughter and I enjoyed the willow bird course thoroughly. Jo explained everything so well and we arrived home with a pheasant and heron for the garden. Had such a good time we are now booked onto the willow reindeer course.

Me and my mother had an excellent day out learning how to willow weave. We were made very welcome from the outset and our instructor, Jo was extremely well prepared and knowledgeable. We came away with a heron and a pheasant. I would happily recommend this course to other budding crafters.

Joe is a great and patient teacher. I bought the course as a gift for my Mum and I. It was a lovely day and we learnt so much. Highly recommended.

Joe is a super teacher, crafts person & keen to share her talent & skill. She has endless patience. The basket weaving course was stretching, rewarding, muscle building and great fun. I loved working with a new material & having the opportunity to try something new. And, Joe's store is a delightful environment to get creative. Thanks Joe :-)

Wonderful working with Cathy on the apron and signed up to make a satchel too. Everything well organised and explained

A fabulous day!

Joe is enthusiastic about her craft and really knows her stuff. A great teacher who inspires and supports.

Thank you Joe for a lovely day.
