Helen reviewed: Morning Creative Weaving 2 hour Taster Workshop - flexible timing

"I had a marvellous time at the workshop and completed a landscape inspired weave with Ruth’s help. I loved the range of yarn, textiles and their wonderful colours available to use. I hope to return at some point."

Illuminating Weaves responded:

"Thanks Helen. I enjoyed weaving along side you at the studio and look forward to you visiting again sometime. 😀"

Julia Poxon reviewed: Family creative weaving workshop - morning

"What a wonderful morning with Ruth! My 10 year old granddaughter and I were patiently and delightfully taught the rudiments of weaving and came away very proudly with our wall hangings. The whole experience was so calming and fulfilling, I would recommend this to anyone."

Illuminating Weaves responded:

"Thanks Julia, it was great to weave with you both. "
