"Excellent day, great teacher, very relaxing, very creative. Would happily do it again. Excellent value for money as what you leave with would cost you the same amount in any shop."

Lynda Hennessey reviewed: Willow Owl Workshop

"Lovely day making an owl. Everything is geared to a friendly experience.The day was even more special because we watched Dorothy give birth to the first lamb of triplets. I would recommend anyone to try a course with Victoria. Everyone goes home with a willow sculpture to be proud of."

Rachel Benson reviewed: Willow Piglet workshop

"Learnt what I set out to - free weaving - and came away with a lovely looking piglet. Victoria is a good tutor and kept the kettle boiling. She was also willing to share knowledge on other willow structures and sculptures she has produced. Instructions on how to get to the venue could have been clearer, most of us ended up at the cattery before finding the right place. Also would have liked introductions to each other at the start, 4 of the 6 participants knew each other already so found it awkward to join in their conversations."

"Victoria made the day. Despite my dyslexia having an impact on her instructions....things become jumbled in my head. She was patient and very supportive. Can't wait to do another course."

Ben reviewed: Willow Sphere / Ball

"The most brilliant day. Victoria not only has some outstanding knowledge, she expertly passes that on, shares her insights, allowing you to create an outstanding piece of work. I couldn't have believed I could create the willow ball I did, but I did. Try it for yourself, you'll love it. Thank you for an amazing day Victoria. I will be back."

"I thoroughly enjoyed making a willow ball with Victoria today. She shared her expert knowledge, top tips and lots of tea and coffee. I'm chuffed to bits with the sphere I've made and can't wait to get started on more for my garden. Thanks Victoria"

Kathryn Thompson reviewed: Willow Piglet workshop

"What a fab day we had! Victoria is a skilled creative tutor (and she has a cute Dad). We had a giggle making our delightful piggies. I met three lovely ladies and we had such a good time together that we are all booked onto another course with Victoria next month so we can get together again. As a self-employed freelance artist it was great to talk about 'work stuff', something I rarely get a chance to do, it was like an away day with lovely colleagues. Learned new skills and made new friends in a warm and relaxing environment- would highly recommend!"
