Zak Phillips-Yates reviewed: Weaving workshop on 4 shaft table looms in South Lakes at the Heron Corn Mill in Beetham

"I really enjoyed the whole day and was amazed at what I was able to achieve from the great instructions given by Erika. The day was extremely relaxing and you can just concentrate on being creative. What a great way to take yourself away from the busy world and focus on being at peace. "

Erika Sojkova Grime responded:

"Thank you for coming to my workshop and for such a lovely review Zak. It was a real pleasure having you at the workshop and I enjoyed teaching you weaving, you are natural! We were all amazed at your beautiful piece and I hope that you will come back, there are so many different patterns, colours and textures yet to explore 😊. Thank you again, Erika "

"Before the course Erika wanted to know my interests and aspirations for working with felt. It was a completely new skill for me but I outlined what my artistic ideas were. On the day of the course Erika guided me through the whole process with skills, empathy and astute understanding every step of the way. My resulting felt sculpture was amazing. I had no preconceived ideas but I was lead by the process and materials. I now understand something about felting. I intend to do another course to continue my journey into this ancient skill. The other participants, who had all been before embarked on their own projects guided by Erika. By observing these my skills were further enhanced. The day was intuitive not to a set timetable. Breaks for lunch were taken to fit with your own project and pace of working. One of the best day courses in Cumbria. Thank you Erika"
