I had a lovely day at The Yurt learning to weave - creative, stimulating and relaxing all at the same time. Thanks to everybody, especially Alice Hume for her patience and expert tuition. Can't wait for the next workshop!
Lovely day learning the basics of weaving with a very patient and kind Alice !
What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday! Alice was attentive, knowledgable and a great teacher. It was fun, cosy and I felt I came home with a much better understanding of weaving. Would highly recommend it! Thank you!
I had a really enjoyable day learning the art of weaving with Alice. Based at Make in Fratton we had a cosy set up and a small group meant that help was there when you needed it! Alice is incredibly knowledgeable and patient with everyone especially as everyone was working on different designs! Left feeling utterly inspired, my new purchased loom in hand I've started my second weave already! Thank you Alice!
