Half day willow bird feeder/hanging basket course with Joe Gregory

Marion reviewed: Asymmetrical basket making courses - two days with Joe Gregory at Creative with Nature Todmorden Yorkshire

"Excellent 2 days learning willow weaving in a professional studio, and starting to understand the culture, materials and tools. Joe is great at explaining and demonstrating, then letting you get on with it, then helping without taking over. Patterns and numbers began to make perfect sense and I am impressed with the lovely basket I produced! "

"My wife and I have just attended our first assymetrical basket making course with Joe. What a great experience. Joe's patience and skill were so good and we each left with a completed log basket. Would highly recommend Joe's course for anybody wanting to try out basket weaving for the first time."

"I went with my daughter on the two day basket course run by Joe. We found Joe to be most helpful and patient, her words of encouragement really helped us to achieve such great results with our baskets. We would highly recommend this course to anyone who has never done anything like it before. We really enjoyed it and would definitely go back to do something else."

"Booked this for a Christmas and thank you present for my sister and it was fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed the contemplative nature of weaving with willow and Joe is so knowledgeable about her craft. Todmorden and the surrounding area is so beautiful we loved it. We stayed locally and had two days of quiet, precious sister time. And made baskets we love. What could be better."

"Absolutely fantastic course from an inspired and experienced teacher. The whole experience was very well thought through, with differentiation built in depending on ability/ confidence. I felt fully supported through the whole process and came out with a fantastic looking log basket and a sense of real achievement. It has inspired me to continue my learning journey in working with willow and will no doubt return for some more training at some point."

"thanks for the review Gavin! Really glad you enjoyed the weekend course. You're a natural basket weaver. xx"

Andrea Tudor reviewed: Asymmetrical basket making courses - two days with Joe Gregory at Creative with Nature Todmorden Yorkshire

"I loved these two days. As a complete beginner, at the end of day one I wondered how any of us would ever come away with a basket worth having, yet by the end of day two, like magic, we each had a log basket to be really proud of! The course was well planned and paced and Joe, as well as being a lovely person, is such a good teacher. She explained everything so well and so simply, yet not in the slightest bit patronising, just encouraging, reassuring and very complimentary about all our efforts. Thank you Joe, you've certainly kindled a little fire..."

"thank you andrea! so glad you enjoyed your time. superb basket!! joe. xx"

Helen Lord reviewed: Asymmetrical basket making courses - two days with Joe Gregory at Creative with Nature Todmorden Yorkshire

"A really great course. A room of people who had never made baskets before, yet after two days we had all created something beautiful. Joe is an excellent teacher, very clear, spreading her time equally between everyone, and sharing her great depth of knowledge and enthusiasm generously. I would have considered this a bargain at twice the price."

Creative with Nature Ltd responded:

"ah thank you so much helen!! really glad you enjoyed the weekend. joe. xxx"

"I would highly recommend this course. I had never done any basket weaving before and by the end of the second day I had an amazing basket to take home. It was entertaining and fun and Joe teaches in a really relaxed manner, in small class sizes. Everyone works at their own speed and you never feel like you are being left behind. I will definitely do another course with Joe."

"that's a lovely review june! thanks and really happy you enjoyed your weekend. joe. xx"
