Laura reviewed: 2 day Asymmetrical basket making courses - two days with Joe Gregory at Creative with Nature Todmorden Yorkshire

"Fantastic course with Joe and love my basket! Her tuition was perfect, breaking things down into easy steps, with clear demos and always being on hand to help. We had a beautiful selection of willow to work with and I enjoyed the little stories and background history to willow weaving she gave. I'm now the proud owner of a beautifully crafted basket made by my own hand thats admired by everyone who sees it. Looking forward to this becoming a new and rewarding hobby!"

Marion reviewed: 2 day Asymmetrical basket making courses - two days with Joe Gregory at Creative with Nature Todmorden Yorkshire

"Excellent 2 days learning willow weaving in a professional studio, and starting to understand the culture, materials and tools. Joe is great at explaining and demonstrating, then letting you get on with it, then helping without taking over. Patterns and numbers began to make perfect sense and I am impressed with the lovely basket I produced! "
