Caitlin reviewed: Weave a Willow Gathering Basket

"What a gorgeous day of learning and community! Lisa was so kind and welcoming to us as newbies to basket making, and our little class of three had a lovely time learning and putting the world to rights around a log fire. Lisa is a really patient teacher, and her hands-on approach to teaching really worked for me. She talked us through the different kinds of willow, and showed us different weaving styles as we gradually developed a basket of our own. I didn't expect to leave with such a beautiful basket for my first time making one, but I'm now showing it off to everyone who comes round! Highly recommend coming to a class."

Lisa Dear Basketry responded:

"Thank you Caitlin! I'm really glad you and Eliot enjoyed the day and that you're so pleased with your first basket. It was a real pleasure to teach you both. Many thanks. "
