June Lewis reviewed: Willow Deer or Pig at Merriott Social Venue

"Extremely good course - it was well led by an instructor who knew her craft. Thank-you I love my deer who now takes pride of place in my garden. Will attend more courses in the future."

Karen Roach reviewed: Willow Chicken , Heron or Flying Owl Sculpture The David Hall

"Jo, has a warm welcoming manner and is very accommodating of everybody's needs. She is clearly a very experienced crafts woman, so is able to work willow expertly and consequently she can solve any problems the leaners have when making. She leads the course at pace through the day and it's a busy day that is fun and completely absorbing, but still with time for a cuppa and a laugh. If you are a novice or expert , you will come away with a sculpture to be proud of"

Jo Sadler at Forged n Willow responded:

"Thank you so much, Karen, that's very kind. It was a good day of making and super sculptures!!"

I am not a crafter, but absolutely thrilled with the deer sculptures we created. I would highly recommend this course, it was excellent."

Beat Neukomm reviewed: Willow Deer or Pig at Merriott Social Venue

"Jo is an excellent teacher and very generously shared her knowledge with us. There were 14 in the course, 12 making deers and 2 of us making pigs, it was very well prepared and structured. All the sculptures looked amazing on the stage for the group photo at the end. Great day, thank you Jo."

Jo Sadler at Forged n Willow responded:

"Thanks Beat-it was a very creative day and produced lovely sculptures!"
