Stanwick Lakes Art and Craft Courses reviews

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."

"Very enjoyable, informative and well structured course. Our tutor was highly knowledgeable and supportive in helping us learn and understand whilst completing our course pieces. For people who don't know (I didn't), it might be worth including in the course write up that 'traditional stained glass' is lead-based ie. not copper foil-based."
