Tom reviewed: Basket making for beginners using traditional willow basketry techniques

"We had a great day out basket making and even managed to produce some decent looking baskets by the end of the day. The tuition was excellent, there was a mix of examples to follow, group demonstrations and one to one when required. There was plenty of tea and cakes to keep us going and the extra lunch option from a local caterer was very tasty and well worth it and the accompanying tunes were spot on."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my day. I was welcomed and within a few minutes had a hot drink and flapjack. The instructions were very clear and Jonny and Becky were very patient. A lovely hot lunch for a very reasonable price. The day was value for money, I felt proud of my basket though it wasn’t the best of the group. I went with two friends who also enjoyed it. I would certainly consider doing another one sometime in the future."

Pauline Curtis reviewed: Basket making for beginners using traditional willow basketry techniques

"3 of us did this course the hosts John and Becky were very welcoming when we arrived. The day starts with a warm cuppa and cake. Then with lots of help and loads of patience from our hosts we all made a beautiful basket as did all the class. We had a great lunch made by a local supplier and of course followed by more cake. I would say a terrific fun day had well worth the cost. Would certainly recommend for people looking for something different to do."

Emma reviewed: Basket making for beginners using traditional willow basketry techniques

"Superb course. Completed a fabulous contemporary shallow basket in a day which would probably retail around £50 in swanky shops. Now I just need to keep my cats out of it. Having help from both Jonny and Becky means you’re never left floundering. A workshop that’s great value for money and expertly taught."

Autumn reviewed: Basket making for beginners using traditional willow basketry techniques

"I absolutely loved this full day course for beginners. The workshop is large and it was nice to kick off with cake and a brew, but the best bit was being able to make a huge basket using a variety of different techniques. I came down to the area just for this, and I wish I lived closer, because I'd definitely do further courses. "

Mike reviewed: Basket making for beginners using traditional willow basketry techniques

"Fun day basket making with Jonny and Becky, both of whom were great teachers. The day started with a warm welcoime, a brew and a home made flapjack. We were then taken through the various different processes involved in weaving a basket from scratch, something I found easier than expected thanks to the great guidance on offer. Jonny and Becky were great hosts with plenty of refreshments on offer; we took our own lunch but very much appreciated the (second) home made cake given to us. I'm really pleased with the basket I've made and would definitely recommend this course to anyone; it's excellent value and a great day out."
