"I had such a lovely day making my basket. It’s such a relaxing way to spend a day with great teachers, a fantastic lunch and then to come away with a basket that you can’t believe you made!! "
"I had a wonderful day making a willow basket. Most of us were complete beginners and Jonny and Becky, our tutors, were patient and encouraging. They demonstrated and taught us the skills necessary to make the baskets and welcomed us into their garden to enjoy a delicious lunch. It was great fun and I would recommend the course without reservation."
"Fantastic course with lovely fellow learners and brilliant tutors. Beckie and Jonny made us all so welcome and taught us all so well. A great experience. We will come on another course soon. Thank you ."
