Jacky King reviewed: Willow Sheep Sculpture - NEW

"I really enjoyed this course! It takes place in the lovely relaxing environment that is full of Alison's willow weaving. You'll be assured a very warm welcome with delicious homemade cake and then a fantastic homemade lunch with your fellow weavers round a delightful kitchen table. This course is suitable for beginners as well as people who have done a bit of weaving. Alison encourages you to work at your own ace. She will give you help if you feel you need it or if she feels that you need it to get on track! Rest assured Alison will ensure that you WILL go home with a sheep! Thoroughly recommended."

Welig responded:

"Jackie thank you. It was a great day and so pleased you enjoyed it. Everyone went home with a characterful sheep in different poses and different sizes. Glad you enjoyed the hospitality too. It’s a very important part of the day. Thank you again and hope to see you here again someday. Alison. "

Paula P reviewed: Willow Random Weave baskets for Garden trugs for foraging

"Alison planned and delivered a wonderful Random Weave Basket workshop. Not only meeting our craft needs throughout the day, but additionally provided homemade bakes, beverage selections and served the most incredible lunch consisting of a variety of wholesome, hearty dishes. Her care and attention to detail in the preparation for our visit - which is clear was important to her - had a real holistic approach which made our experience truly unique. As newbies to the craft, starting our baskets was so exciting! We really enjoyed learning how to try to get the willow to form into a basket and skills to create beautiful patterns for example called 'God's Eye'. Alison was constantly at hand to give demos, support and advice throughout the workshop. By the end of the day, we were blown away by the way what we'd been taught and what we'd made had come together to form our BASKETS! Very Happy. Alison's lovely, calm approach to this craft was really helpful during tricky, crafty moments and she had an abundance of patience, knowledge and encouragement to give. We would highly recommend Alison as a provider and look forward to a time we could visit again."

Welig responded:

"Thank you Paula and Sue. What a great day we had, I am so pleased you both enjoyed it. I am sure you will make good use of your random weave baskets for years to come. You would be welcome back at The Barn any time. Kind regards Alison"

Elaine Chapman reviewed: Willow Owl In Flight. COURSE FULL

"A relaxed and engaging workshop with Alison on hand to offer help whenever it's needed. Good company, a delicious lunch and a fabulous owl (some more fabulous than others but all worthy of a special spot in the garden) to take home at the end of the day made this a memorable experience. "
