Vicky reviewed: Willow Animal Sculpture (2 days) in the Peak District

"Excellent 2 days helped by the fabulous sunshine! The course was well run, allowing each to reach an almost completed sculpture. Alison provided wonderful hospitality keeping us all topped up with food and open access cafe area for snacks and beverages. Caroline was an experienced, calming influence when my creation was looking a disaster, the voice of reason and expertise!"

Christopher Kelly reviewed: Willow Basket Weaving (2 days) in the Peak District

"Zantium Studios is set in a beautiful location which is made better by the welcome from Godfrey the peacock. Alison and Peter hosted the 2-day workshop beautifully; they are the loveliest people and were available for anything we needed. Ahead of attending the course Alison was on hand to answer all my questions and assured me that they could cater for my gluten free needs. The lunches were delicious as were the yummy snacks, teas and coffees. I attended the 2-day basket weaving class with Eddie Glew. The course lived up to all my expectations and more. Eddie is a great teacher and I couldn't recommend him and Zantium studios more highly."

Zantium Studios Ltd responded:

" Thankyou, Chris, for this wonderful, glowing review. Thankyou so much for joining us here at Zantium. It was a pleasure to have on the course...and my only regret is that I failed to get a photo of you departing by pushbike, with your beautiful big basket on the back! Enjoy your newfound skills and come back soon x"

Jilly Greig reviewed: Willow Basket Weaving (2 days) in the Peak District

"Had been looking forward to doing a workshop with Eddy for ages, and was certainly not disappointed! I made a log basket and although not a total beginner felt lots of fine tunings shown by Eddy really helped me up my game. He was so patient and spotted little things I was doing that were not quite there yet, and helped me to work on the correct method to give a much better finish on my basket. Thanks Eddy i will definitely be back! Thanks also to our lovely hosts at the wonderful Zantium Studios, beautiful surroundings, including Godfrey the peacock! And the lovely lunches and snacks. Such a great experience all round. Would definitely recommend!!"

Zantium Studios Ltd responded:

" Thankyou so much, Jilly. We feel very fortunate to have Eddie as a visiting tutor here at Zantium Studios. Delighted to hear the course hit the spot and you have plans for more willow weaving pursuits. I trust your wonderful basket will soon find its perfect home at your dream croft..."
