"Kate is an excellent teacher - patient and very good at showing/explaining what needs to be done. To start without a scratch of knowledge and to come away with a substantially sized heron within one day is truly amazing. Highly recommended. Thanks Kate!"

"Have just had a wonderful day at Kate's with my mum and sister. We each managed to make a beautiful heron (mine is called Harry) despite never having tried willow sculpting before. Kate was very patient and always on hand to help with the shaping as our masterpieces progressed - so our creations really do look like herons! Would highly recommend this course, we are all very happy with our finished birds. Thank you Kate, we will be back. Thanks also to Dave for the lovely lunch (and Cake!). Brenda H"

"What a great day! Welcomed by Kate and David in to their lovely home. Great tuition from Kate and fabulous lunch from David. The relaxed atmosphere and friendly banter added to the experience. We all left with our fabulous woven sculptures and I am the proud owner of an Indian running duck now named Gerald. Kate is a very talented artist, and willow sculptress and examples of her work are just fabulous. Thank you both for a great day and kate especially your patience. I will be back again I’m sure."

"This was a brilliant course to go on, with no experience at all everyone came home with a really good willow sculpture. Both Kate and husband were so helpful. Kate was a really patient and knowledgeable teacher whilst Dave produced a delicious soup and sandwich lunch. I would recommend this course to anyone."

"An enjoyable day with other like-minded types spent creating a small willow sculpture under the expert guidance of Kate at her workshop/home. From thinking I'd never be able to create anything at the start of the day, at the end I had a pheasant which actually looked like a pheasant!....It was a lovely space to work in, and we all enjoyed the lunch provided. All in all an informative and fun day, as well as producing a unique piece of craft to take home and display."

"Really enjoyed learning how to weave willow - Kate shares her knowledge and passion and tricks for taming the willow, friendly and relaxed and a treat to bring home our own creations at the end of the day. My kiwi has received lots of compliments and has pride of place in the house now! Thank you Kate and also Dave for the tasty lunch, much appreciated."

"The willow weaving course was a gift for my birthday and what a great gift it turned out to be. The course is held at Kate's home, the perfect setting to get creative sat by the warmth of the log burner and taking in the views of the garden. In preparation for us arriving Kate had gathered examples of animal sculptures she had done so we had visuals to reference to throughout the day. Kate is very knowledgable, patient and was great at getting round to each of us individually to support and advise. Kate's husband was busy preparing a fresh homecooked lunch for us which was greatly received after a morning of crafting. I am surprised with myself at what I achieved, I made a boxing hare for our soon to be arriving babies nursery and I am so proud of it. With regards value for money Kate's course is a steal..... especially based on the size of the hare I came home with and the price you see willow sculptures at local garden centres. Thank you again.... I would consider booking again even if just to make a different animal... but feel confident enough to maybe have a little go at home!"

"Thank you for such a great day. You made me very welcome and you obviously love your willow work and this shows through when showing us how to make things. This course was a present from my husband and he was so surprised when I bought home a duck - which looked like a duck!!! Kate is an excellent teacher, friendly, helpful and so patient - which she needed to be. I would certainly recommend this course to anyone. She provided plenty of hot drinks and the homemade lunch was excellent too. I'm no artist and found that you don't need to be to make an willow animal. Kate shows you a picture of your choosen animal/bird/insect and shows you how to go about it. She will help you when you need it, but guides you. I would love to come on another course some day and possibly make another creature! I'm so pleased that I learnt how to do basic willow weaving. Thanks again, Diana"

"My daughter and I had a fantastic day yesterday with Kate and Dave. We thoroughly enjoyed working with the willow and I made a heron whilst my daughter made a rabbit. Kate took us through step by step and all the creations looked amazing. The willow was easy to work with and I was amazed how the sculptures took shape starting with a ball. Thanks again Kate it was really enjoyable and I would do it again and recommend to anyone who wants to have a go. We were complete beginners and managed to make an amazing creation. Thanks to Dave for the fabulous lunch too."

"I had a brilliant two days working with Kate. I made a pair of boxing hares and I'm absolutely delighted with the results. I worked in Kate's beautiful garden and a lovely home made lunch was provided with plenty of refreshments throughout the day. Kate is an extremely talented and fabulous teacher. She is patient and a really lovely lady, who is fun to be with. Kate is a perfectionist and helped me with the proportions of the hares. She also gave me advise on how to treat them, so they will still look good whatever the weather. All my friends who have seen my sculptures have been amazed. I'm really tempted to have another day with Kate, to make something else, if I can find room in my garden for it. If you want to do a willow sculpture, then look no further than Kate Morrell, you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Kate for a truly wonderful weekend."

"Superb day of craftwork. Made a willow chicken along with her chick and Kate kindly added a couple more chicks so I had a real family. Kate's teaching was excellent, she provided cake and coffee and a super lunch and we worked in her lovely garden, what more could you wish for on a beautiful summers day. There were only two of us on the course today which we agreed was great as we had lots of individual tuition but usually the numbers are more, up to six, but given her skills that would be fine I'm sure. If you fancy a go at Willow sculpture this is definitely the lady to go to. Thank you Kate for such a lovely day."

"My friend and I had a brilliant day with Kate. There were 6 of us in total and all got on really well with plenty of humour. Kate is a brilliant teacher who asks what we'd like to make and what would be realistic! She demonstrated everything as many times as needed. We all were going at our own pace, supplied with plenty of drinks. Dave provided lunch which was lovely and attention paid to allergies. Whilst we sat eating lunch Kate went round to each piece of work to tidy up/strengthen so when we went back to our piece we could carry on knowing that it would be ok. Kate's garden is gorgeous with her cats, dog and hens around. We all left amazed at our achievements and hooked on a new hobby thanks to such a great teacher who instilled her love of the craft to us. Well worth every penny! Thanks Kate and Dave"

"Had a fantastic day with Kate today, in her lovely garden. Have never tried willow weaving before, but Kate was a brilliant teacher and taught with calmness and patience as we tried to grasp the basics!! There were 6 of us today, and we all went home having made our first willow sculptures - herons, a chicken and even a deer. The atmosphere was brilliant, we all had a good laugh. Excellent lunch and refreshments provided, as well as cakes. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and will definately be returning to make something different."

"I booked this course as willow weaving is something I've always wanted to try. Unfortunately after booking the course I had a sudden bereavement so had to change the date. Kate was so wonderful and understanding about the whole situation. I attended the course in June 2018 and couldn't have received a better welcome. What a wonderful lady. The 'companions' for the day were fabulous too - Bertie and Fluffy the cats plus Boris the dog and not forgetting the lovely hens too! Kate has a beautiful cottage and the setting in the garden is wonderful. I made a much larger sculpture than anticipated (a hare) and was very pleased with the finished result! Kate was most patient with all of us and added on an extra 2 hours at the end of the day to ensure we all completed our projects at no extra cost! Kate and her husband Dave supplied a lovely light lunch and chocolate cake too! Yum! She also supplied numerous cups of tea as required throughout the day. I highly recommend this course and this wonderful lady. Don't hesitate to book!"

"Attended Kate’s Willow Sculpture course today with my 13 year old son. We both had a brilliant day and both produced our own piece, although my son’s was better than mine! Kate was great with both of us , helping and encouraging, my son was especially pleased with his cat! Good value for money and a great day."

"Thank you Kate - you have certainly helped us to make a memory. Your garden is beautiful and was the perfect setting to spend the day in the sunshine, away from the hustle and bustle, learning something. It was wonderful to share a day with your passion, creativity and skill. I can't believe I came away with something so fantastic - and complete. Also, thank you to Boris and Dave for adding to the brilliant day."
