"It was brilliant. Jonny and Becky are great teachers, with tons of expertise, which they shared generously. They guided us through all the separate stages, so I ended up with a very impressive-looking basket and useful knowledge of many traditional techniques. They have a nice, bright studio and it was a lovely day. Good lunch, too!"

Georgie reviewed: Basket making for beginners using traditional willow basketry techniques

"I had such a wonderful experience on this course. Becky and Jon were brilliant and welcomed us into their cosy barn with a cuppa and homemade flapjacks before starting the basket weaving. The course was taught in simple steps and as it was a small group, Jon and Becky were able to show us one to one each new step. It was such a great workshop and the baskets we made were really beautiful! Thanks also to Jo for cooking us a wonderful lunch. I really recommend this course, the people, the little details and most of all, it’s such a satisfying skill to learn, even if it’s just for a day! Thank you so much for this great experience!"

Dave Gilbert reviewed: Basket making for beginners using traditional willow basketry techniques

"My mum and I did this course. Becky and Jonny were very friendly and welcomed us into the studio with a cup of tea. They are the best instructors you could wish for, very skilled, encouraging, helpful and complementary. It's hard work but my mum managed it very well - she's 80 - the course was her birthday gift. The lunch was super and good value. A great setting. The studio was well-equipped and spacious. We both ended up with good baskets and learned a lot. Above all we enjoyed ourselves and could not fault any part of the day."

"What a fantastic experience. In a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere with clear instructions and hands on demonstrations I became a basket maker!! Johnny and Becky were very patient teachers and spent plenty of time with each learner so that we all had a successful outcome. The vegan lunch provided was excellent and so was the cake. I came away feeling a great sense of achievement with a beautiful willow basket which I will treasure. I would highly recommend this course. "
