Al reviewed: Willow Weaving – Oval Basket (2 days)

"Jane is a wonderful teacher. I have been on several of her courses. They have all been brilliant and I have come home with a very acceptable basket each time, each one better than the last. This course was no exception. It's also lovely to get to know the other participants and share our enthusiasm and interest. "

Denmark Farm Conservation Centre responded:

"Thanks for your lovely words Al. Your basket was fantastic, but then you've done enough of Jane's courses to be a pro now! "

Jane Reid reviewed: Willow Weaving – Oval Basket (2 days)

"This was an excellent course provided by an attentive professional maker, Jane shared her skills generously and gave individual attention and advice to everyone in the group. I did not expect to come home with a basket that I’m proud to say I made. Looking forward to her next sessions. "

Denmark Farm Conservation Centre responded:

"Thanks for your kind feedback Jane. You should be really proud of your basket. It looked fantastic, and to think it was your first time doing basketry - amazing!!"

Mara reviewed: Willow Weaving – Oval Basket (2 days)

"Two glorious days weaving willow with a very skilled and patient tutor. What's not to like?. Oh and the venue is pretty special too! I arrived early and had a lovely walk around the 40 acre nature reserve, through woodland and meadows listening to the bird song and breeze blowing through the leaves. Thank you Jane for your endless energy teaching and thanks to Tigs too for hosting the course. I hope to return soon."

Denmark Farm Conservation Centre responded:

"Thanks for you lovely review Mara, not just of the course, but of our beautiful venue. Your basket was stunning, and I'm glad you found the time to enjoy a walk around the nature reserve too! "

Tigs Smith reviewed: Make a Shrink Pot

"What a fabulous day learning how to drill, whittle and cut the sections needed to make my very own shrink pot. I thoroughly enjoyed the process and Neil made it all very achievable and relaxed, while being safe about working with some very sharp tools. I'm really excited to see how it all comes together in a few weeks when it's dried out and I can make the lid. Will definitely do more courses at Denmark Farm."
