Laura Mason reviewed: Introducing Macrame Knots and Intricate Designs

"A couple of days ago I did this course and it was everything I could have hoped for. Mary is very lovely and was well prepared for my visit. Mary had listened well to what I had mentioned I would like to know and we didn't waste any time cracking on and getting hands on with the macrame. I am now inspired and confident that I can continue on and develop my craft. Thank you so much for your time Mary. It was lovely chatting with you."

Sue & Andrew reviewed: Introducing Macrame Knots and Intricate Designs

"My partner Andrew & I both had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon learning Macrame with Mary. Mary taught us some of her in depth knowledge of Macrame in a very relaxed atmosphere, she was extremely patient and made us feel very welcome with tea and biscuits throughout the afternoon. We both left feeling we had gained huge confidence in wanting to make more Macrame products and cannot thank Mary enough for her inspiration. Would highly recommend this course."

"Two friends and I had a very enjoyable time learning and re learning the craft of macrame. Mary was patient and so helpful. We are all planning to carry on with this new found craft. The refreshments Mary provided were also excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend Mary and her macrame!"

"Mary is a wonderfully kind, experienced and patient teacher. She explained each of the key knots and guided us through each stage of the sample with marvellously clear instructions, and with tea and biscuits too! It was a lovely afternoon. As a complete beginner, it was a delight to see my sampler take shape so fast, and felt I had learned a new skill by the end of the afternoon. I'm now excited to experiment with Macramé designs and planning my next Macramé project!"

"Mary is a wonderful, friendly and patient teacher of macrame and lots of fun to be around. I spent a lovely afternoon yesterday learning this ancient craft. Under Mary's expert guidance I soon completed a pretty sampler to take home with me. I wasn't rushed and there was plenty of tea and biscuits! I can’t recommend this course highly enough. Being a florist I can easily see how this technique can be adapted into my own work using wires, wool and cords. I can't wait to start experimenting. Thank you Mary and wishing you lots of success for the future."

"I had a wonderful afternoon with Mary knotting and nattering! She is a master of this great craft. I already had a basic understanding of some of the knots which enabled us to jump ahead to knots I was unfamiliar with and by the end of our session I had accomplished them! You tube is great for learning but its so good to get away from the screen and learn first hand.Thank you Mary"

"Myself and my two teenage daughters completed this workshop with Mary yesterday. Mary was a good teacher, and generously provided us with tea and biscuits. She gave us 1:1 support and all three of us were very pleased with the little wall hangings we made and brought home. My daughters have instructed me to buy macramé materials so they can make more, which will hopefully get them off their phones and ipads. Thank you Mary."

Lesa Vaughan reviewed: Introducing Macrame Knots and Intricate Designs

"Mary is fantastic. Her knowledge of macrame is 2nd to none. I had never tried macrame before and had no idea what to expect, I bought the course as a present for my mum and we both attended. We have started getting crafty so this sounded perfect. It was a lovely relaxed afternoon, and Mary was so patient with us. I learnt a lot and found it easy, because of Mary’s instruction. We both had a lovely sampler to take home and have since created wall hangings and plant holders. It was a lovely afternoon, we both learnt a new skill and Mary provided the most yummy biscuits. I would advise anybody to give it a go."

"I spent the morning with Mary today and it was wonderful. I was made to feel very at home and relaxed. The wall hanging I made and brought home made me very proud having never attempted anything like this before. I now have the macrame bug and hope to attend a workshop by Mary soon. Thank you Mary."

"Went to Marys home today with a little knotting skills ans after a very plesaent time came away with a wall hanging and a lot better understanding of the knots and how to read macrame patterns. We have bought some cord from Mary and we are planning to go again for her monthly drop in sessions"

Michelle Williamson reviewed: Introducing Macrame Knots and Intricate Designs

"I had a lovely experience learning Macrame with Mary. I travelled down from Derby with my boyfriend and Mary made us feel so welcome. I learn't a lot and have started making my own jewellery straight away. Mary is kind and patient and really knows her stuff! She had also taken the time to pick out jewellery ideas and suggestions from books she already had and gave me great advice on where I can buy the supplies I need. Would certainly go back again to learn more with Mary."

Angela reviewed: Introducing Macrame Knots and Intricate Designs

"My daughter and I spent a lovely afternoon with Mary, learning how to knot a sampler. Mary is clearly very experienced in her chosen craft and an excellent tutor. She was especially supportive and patient with my daughter who often struggles to learn new crafts due to being left-handed. At the end of the session, we were both amazed at what we had managed to produce. I highly recommend this course."
