"Just done this macramé pot hanger course. Was so pleased to walk away with a finished item. Never thought I would when I started. Got some confidence to carry on now. Will look out for more. Always helps to have a tutor by your elbow for those blank moments....."

"I thoroughly recommend this course. I am new to weaving and appreciated Alice’s welcoming, knowledgeable and patient approach. The group size allowed each of us to go at our own pace which I found invaluable. Such a lovely relaxing way to spend a Saturday in a great venue too. Thank you Alice - I have found a new hobby :) "

"Lovely group of five sitting around a table perfectly set up for our hanging macrame making. Alice is very clear and patient and we all achieved our hangers in about 2 hours (however my shoulders are aching this morning - I am getting old now over 65). I’m really pleased with my achievement and plan to make several more on my own and with friends. Thank you Alice"

"I spent a wonderful relaxing day last Saturday with Alice. Weaving is something I had not done before, but all was explained patiently and calmly. The choice of material/wool was amazing, dipping into a bag like children at Christmas!! I am thrilled with my finished sample including tassels, It will be a reminder a special workshop."

"I recently attended this course with my friend and we both had a really enjoyable experience. Alice was patient and clear with her instructions. We both came away with pieces of work we are very pleased with. We met some lovely people and am now intending to buy a beautiful hand loom-made with repurposed wood- to continue on learning and making. We would both highly recommend. "

"Such a relaxing and inspiring workshop, Alice is an excellent tutor offering really clear instruction and most importantly for me, is so patient. Yards of yarns, knots and non-nimble fingers could lead to a catastrophe but Alice was always there to lend a hand and guide. I'm feeling very inspired and am planning my next macrame pot holder... Highly recommend."

"I did the macrame course yesterday (February 2020) and I very much enjoyed it. Alice is a patient and supportive teacher. I m enthusiastically practicing my knots today - practice makes perfect, even for me - I am 75 and a bit slower than most of Alice's students, but I have been enthused by what I learned yesterday and I throughly recommend the course."

"I really enjoyed the introduction to frame loom weaving with Alice. I'm not a complete beginner, and Alice instead helped me 'crack the code' on weaving with multiple shuttles at a time. There was a lovely atmosphere, not least thanks to Alice who has such a calm way about her. She has a wonderful attitude to craft and to life and effortlessly combines the two. I highly recommend spending a day learning to weave."

"A wonderful way to spend the day! The studio is a warm space surrounded by Alice's work,books and looms which are so inspiring. As there are small numbers on the workshops, everyone can work at their own pace and without pressure and Alice is generous and passionate to share her knowledge and skills. Looking forward to the Macraeme workshop next!"
