Pippa reviewed: Introduction to Frame Loom Weaving

"Alice was an excellent teacher, explaining techniques clearly and patiently. I really love the wall hanging I made and I feel confident to do more weaving at home. The location was also good and easy to get to via public transport. Thank you. "

Jennifer reviewed: Macrame Pot Hanger Workshop

"I really enjoyed Alice’s pot hanging workshop. It was a small group of us and it worked really well. Very therapeutic craft and Alice was welcoming and a very patient and friendly teacher. We had a great morning, I would highly recommend. I was really pleased with my finished product too and inspired to make more! "

Liz Parry reviewed: Introduction to Frame Loom Weaving

"I can thoroughly recommend a course with Alice, she is patient, excellent at explaining and passing on the information. I enjoyed a shorter course making a macrame pot hanger so thought I'd give the longer weaving introduction session a go. A great day, the time flew by and I'm now hooked on tapestry weaving! Many thanks Alice."
