Ray Daniells reviewed: Willow Weaving ‘Pheasant’ Workshop

"What a great course, always wanted to have a go at willow weaving and to come away with 'Richard' my pheasant what a great achievement. Jane was very informative and ensured we all understood the next task, but when we needed a little assistance she was there advising us all. All 8 of us ended with a sculpture all with different characters. Well recommend this course."

Heather reviewed: Willow Weaving ‘Pheasant’ Workshop

"What a brilliant day, I enjoyed every minute. Jane explained every stage very well and gave help and advice when needed. I am very happy with my willow pheasant. I just need to work out where to put her when she's dried out properly and treated with preservative. I would happily recommend this day to anyone thinking about trying willow weaving."

Lindsay Stark reviewed: Willow Weaving ‘Pheasant’ Workshop

"Very enjoyable course, great group of people attended and the tuition was very good. We all produced very individual birds, mine resembling a turkey crossed with a pheasant but it is out in the garden and it makes me smile every time I look at it! Would definitely recommend the course to others."
