"Wonderful day and great venue for the course. I was amazed at what I completed at the end of the day and Sarah made sure that everything was secure and helped when I was a bit baffled. She also moved us along and helped out when needed so we would finish our sculptures before bed time! Lovely lunch too and great company. Have booked again!"

Willowtwisters responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Nicci. A lovely day in the coolness of the church rooms spent teaching a great bunch of students. Your sculptures were all amazing, Well done! "

"I had an amazing day and produced a sitting pig that now sits in pride of place on our decking. I shared a photo and was asked if I had done it as a commissioned piece! Sarah was really informative, patient and encouraging, everyone who attended went home with a finished sculpture of a high standard. Highly recommend "

Willowtwisters responded:

"Thank you Gail for your lovely feedback. It was a pleasure to teach you and well done for working so hard and producing your fabulous, rotund sitting pig! "

"Had a brilliant day yesterday with Sara, creating a beautiful willow sculpture. A relaxed workshop and plenty of help and advice during the day. I definitely want to do it again!"

Willowtwisters responded:

"Im so glad you enjoyed the day. I love it when people choose abstract shapes and forms for their sculpture choice. The fluid form you chose worked perfectly because you were very mindful and dextrous with the placement of each rod. Well done, its beautiful."

Mel reviewed: Willow 'sculpture of your choice' - one day workshops with Willowtwisters

"Had a very enjoyable day making a hare. Lots to learn, but Sara took us through the various stages and techniques, but more importantly to get a feel for material. The group was a good size for the work involved and was lovely to see everyone's sculptures coming to life. Would definitely recommend."

Willowtwisters responded:

"Thank you Mel, It was a great day and you were a pleasure to teach. Im so glad you appreciated how important getting a 'feel' for the willow is. Your hare is wonderful! Thank you for joining the course. Sara"

Heidi reviewed: Learn willow sculpture online! - how to create a willow deer

"Absolutely love, love, love this on-line course! Fantastic resources, everything you need to create a deer, great community too. I have done some willow sculptures before so have an idea of what it's like to work with willow which I think helps however, working on a much larger scale and over a number of days is very different and the guidance in this course is brilliant. Can definitely recommend!"

Willowtwisters responded:

"Wow! Thank you Heidi, what a lovely review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the course. The online course works really well for a lot of people, as you say, over a number of days and in your own time. Well done and again thank you for taking the time to review, it really helps my little business. We all look forward to seeing your deer in the group, hopefully!"

Amanda Ellison reviewed: Willow 'sculpture of your choice' - one day workshops with Willowtwisters

"A really enjoyable and productive day. Sara is an excellent tutor who explained everything in easy to understand terms. The lunch was delicious, home made, and welcome after an industrious morning. I had no previous experience in willow weaving but my unicorn sculpture was completed on the day and exceeded my expectations of my own abilities. I am delighted with it. Sara gave me the confidence to achieve this. I would thoroughly recommend this course. Thank you so much."

Willowtwisters responded:

"That is very kind of you Amanda, thank you. I'm so glad you enjoyed the day and you have taken away with you, not only some new skills but an amazing unicorn!"

Sam reviewed: 'Willow deer' sculpture - two day course with Willowtwisters

"Had such a great time on this two day workshop. Sara was really patient and attentive with us all and made us feel empowered. She had a great way of explaining the techniques she employs to create beautiful willow sculptures. I was really happy with the way mine turned out (despite a few mishaps that’s Sara kindly and patiently helped me correct!). My mum will love looking out on the deer browsing in her garden! Thanks again."

"Hi Sam, thats very kind of you to give me a review! You were a pleasure to teach. I'm so glad you enjoyed the course and your deer is beautiful, your Mum will love it! Sara : )"

Peter Robotham reviewed: Willow 'sculpture of your choice' - one day workshops with Willowtwisters

"Sara is a first class willow sculpture who imparted enough of her knowledge to help me create the flying owl that I desired. She is very calm and a great coach. Thank you"

Willowtwisters responded:

"Thank you Peter, you were a first class student too! Your owl in flight is fantastic! Well done. Sara"

Anne Batley reviewed: Willow 'sculpture of your choice' - one day workshops with Willowtwisters

"A thoroughly enjoyable day. Very informative, friendly and inspiring course. Lots of individual tuition & everyone on the course was able to complete or almost finish their sculptures due to helpful suggestions on choice before the day. The rather damp, cold day didn’t stop us, though a lovely lunch did help to keep us going . Extremely pleased with my day's work - Graham the Greyhound!!"
