Clare Revera reviewed: Esparto weaving, baskets made from grass

"I really enjoyed this course. We learned a lot about the history of weaving with esparto grass and some new techniques which can be applied to other forms of basketmaking. The tutors are very knowledgeable and the structure of the course was great with two days a few weeks apart and practice activity in between. I am very pleased with my basket and look forward to applying my new skills in other baskets! Thanks Dirk and Kathy."

Clair Murphy reviewed: Esparto weaving, baskets made from grass

"Very enjoyable course and I enjoyed using a new material and a new (to me) plaiting technique. The materials were well prepared and sorted and everything on tap when required. I would have found an occasional diagram useful, eg the movement of the 11 plait and the start which we practised later on the first day. Written instructions on what to prepare for the second day would also have been helpful (I managed to forget in the interim of course!). Otherwise a really well structured course which was plainly enjoyed by everyone very much."

"Very knowledgeable tutors. 2 lovely days weaving. I would have never guessed that it was possible to make such beautiful baskets with grass."
