Richard Pugh reviewed: Willow sculpture workshop at Usk Castle Chase

"I have attended a few of Amanda's workshops now and am impressed with her knowledge and skills not to mention patience with us all. The sculpture workshop I found challenging but extremely rewarding as my odd shape eventually became a snake complete with several wiggles! On that workshop others made chickens,pheasants,cats,balls,obelisks and Amanda never once lost her cool and hopped about between us encouraging guiding and tweaking until we had all finished with great results. The cake was delicious!"

Helen Stenson reviewed: Oval shallow basket for the garden at New barn at Usk Castle Chase,Monmouthshire

"A great day spent willow weaving and very happy with my first attempts. Plenty of fresh willow for the whole class and we were working in a very atmospheric old barn. Tuition was clear, a demonstration of each step given and Amanda ensured nobody was left behind. I would certainly go on another course with Wyldwoodwillow."

"Amanda is an incredibly amazing person, a brilliant and inspiring teacher... I have learnt so much from her, she gave me a real love for weaving that I will keep with me always. Her workshops are always so relaxing and enjoyable. Amanda teaches with patience, care and a beautiful sense of positiveness in the students own ability. Anyone attending Amanda's workshops with leave having learned a wonderful craft and having had the chance to meet one of lifes very beautiful human beings! Thankyou Amanda! =) xxx"

Susie reviewed: Hedgerow basketmaking

"It's always a pleasure to work with natural materials and to have such a great teacher in Amanda. To date I have made a hazel and willow obelisk, a small hurdle, a decorative dragonfly and some christmas decorations....a serial course goer! You will amaze yourself at what's achievable given expert instruction."

"A brilliant course! I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon making a pea frame and hurdle under Amandas' guidance. She is patient, explains things very clearly and is a lot of fun. And the cake was smazing :-)I would highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to try willow weaving."
