"I really enjoyed my ‘Weave a scarf in a day’ course with Anne. I hadn’t done any weaving before and she patiently explained and helped with every step of the process - I’m very pleased with my scarf and was inspired to order a loom so I can make more. I will have a wonderful new hobby! Thanks Anne."
"This was an absolutely excellent introduction to weaving, and yes, it is indeed possible to weave a scarf - quite a long scarf too - in a day! Anne is a really good teacher and I came home feeling so encouraged and inspired that I have already bought a small loom on which to try out my new skills. The day was also fun and therapeutic - there is nothing like focusing for a few hours on something creative to restore one’s sense of wellbeing. Thank you!"
"Very well structured course. Delightful and knowledgeable tutor. Finished on time with a finished scarf. Loved every minute of it. The alchemy of the process is addictive. Went home and bought myself a loom! Need I say more. Ah yes, I'm already booked on another of Anne's courses."
"What a fabulous class, everyone was buzzing throughout the whole day, Anne is a great tutor and the students all went home with the most amazing scarves. Four of them have since expanded on their new weaving addiction and bought looms!"
"I had a brilliant day on this workshop. Anne’s gentle calm manner was so soothing, and her depth of knowledge and patience made the day fly by. I enjoyed the experience so much that 2 days later, I bought my own loom and am enthusiastically continuing my weaving journey.
I would recommend this workshop to anyone."
"Had a lovely day on the weave a scarf workshop.
Anne was very helpful and always on hand if you needed help shared her knowledge and skills.
Would recommend this workshop."
"I had a very enjoyable day at Ripley. This was a technique I had always wanted to try and I was not disappointed with what I learned in six hours. I now am the proud owner of a scarf I can say 'I made myself', with a lot of help from Anne, and it has already been admired.
Anne is a very patient teacher who was very willing to impart of her knowledge. It is certainly a day I would love to repeat.
Thank you Anne
Joan"
"What a relaxing and enjoyable way to spend a day. Anne was great at building our confidence over the course of the day, so much so that everyone left the course with a beautiful wearable scarf and a real sense of what might be possible if we wanted to pursue this type of weaving as a pastime. I particularly valued the selection of yarns available to choose and Anne's great input on colour and texture combinations that will work together to give you the style of scarf you are hoping to achieve. She's a great tutor!"
"Fantastic day. Anne was a very knowledgable and patient tutor and because there were only 6 participants she could give us all the 1 to 1 attention we needed. Lovely venue at South Square, Thornton with a fab veggie cafe. Delighted with my finished scarf. Highly recommended"
"Excellent course in lovely location. Anne is a first class tutor and has definitely inspired me to take up a new hobby. I would highly recommend this workshop."
"Had such a good day with Anne. She’s a brilliant teacher, imparting her knowledge with warmth and humour. I’d brought my own yarn but the others were able to select wools from those she had brought along and we all produced lovely scarves to take home. April was the perfect host, keeping us supplied with refreshments and encouragement. Couldn’t recommend too highly."
"Following the hand weaving day in Halifax I did eventually purchase a small rigid heddle loom, and completed my first scarf last week. A big thank you to Anne for introducing me to hand weaving. I find it very therapeutic and am loving the flexibility of having such a small loom."
"Fantastic workshop for anyone looking for an introduction to weaving. I am visually impaired which made it a daunting thought, but Anne and the venue were nothing but helpful and supportive throughout. The workshop went at a good pace matched to the group and I came away with the basic principles and a scarf."
"I booked this course for my Mum's birthday and we travelled up here together to learn a new skill. Anne was the perfect teacher and it was a gorgeous day! The group was lovely and we all completed our projects and were very pleased with our work.
I would love to come back and complete another course with Anne, my mum is also now completely obsessed with weaving. Would highly recommend this course to anyone!"
"I could not fault the day. The scarf at the end was obviously the result of the day but the whole day's tutoring and learning about the looms was excellent. I would recommend Anne to anyone interested.
Thank you for a wonderful day."
"I really enjoyed this course - so much so that I am considering doing it again! Anne was very patient and helpful and the atmosphere within the group was one of relaxed camaraderie. It was fun learning to use the loom and I was proud to bring home a lovely scarf in colours I had chosen. Highly recommended."
"I had a fantastic time at the Skipton class. Really friendly and welcoming atmosphere. All 6 of us went home with lovely, individual scarves and a good base of knowledge of how to weave and potential problems to look out for. Anne was so lovely and a great teacher.
I did the workshop to see if I would enjoy weaving and I came home and ordered a loom straight away, so I would say it was definitely a success!"
"My 11 year old daughter and myself both found it a really enjoyable day and would thoroughly recommend it for crafty types, even the younger ones. Loom buying imminent!"
"Brilliant course. Anne was an excellent teacher.
Absolutely everyone on the course finished their scarf all individual and all fantastic.
I am now feeling the NEED for a loom...?"
"Wonderful way to spend a Saturday on this enjoyable scarf weaving workshop in a fantastic place.
As a complete novice I managed to produce a lovely scarf with the guidance and expertise of tutor Anne.
I appreciated Anne’s knowledge and patience and would highly recommend anyone to have a go!"
"A very friendly and patients tutor who encouraged people to work at their own pace but still accomadating to all."
