Judy reviewed: Willow Basket Weaving at Manor Wood

"I had an absolute blast learning willow weaving with Olinda! She's a gifted instructor who breaks down complex techniques into meditative, easy-to-follow steps. The peaceful setting of Matt's woodland was the perfect backdrop for this creative journey. Olinda's patience and expertise made me feel confident and inspired – I couldn't recommend this course more!"
