Dorthe Green reviewed: Willow basketmaking in the woods

"My friend and I had such a lovely day. We thoroughly enjoyed creating a basket in a beautiful and peaceful setting. We were so well looked after in terms of lovely food, drinks and snacks and Lisa was so kind and patient when teaching us how to make a basket. We were both delighted with the end result and hope to back to try this again. "

Caitlin reviewed: Weave a Willow Gathering Basket

"What a gorgeous day of learning and community! Lisa was so kind and welcoming to us as newbies to basket making, and our little class of three had a lovely time learning and putting the world to rights around a log fire. Lisa is a really patient teacher, and her hands-on approach to teaching really worked for me. She talked us through the different kinds of willow, and showed us different weaving styles as we gradually developed a basket of our own. I didn't expect to leave with such a beautiful basket for my first time making one, but I'm now showing it off to everyone who comes round! Highly recommend coming to a class."

"Thank you Caitlin! I'm really glad you and Eliot enjoyed the day and that you're so pleased with your first basket. It was a real pleasure to teach you both. Many thanks. "
