Willow Garden Panels (1 day) in the Peak District

Stuart reviewed: Willow Animal Sculpture (2 days) in the Peak District

"Have just spent a great couple of days willow weaving an animal sculpture. I made a fox and my wife made a squirrel. The location and facilities were great, despite the weather being cold and damp we worked outside and only ventured inside for lunch. The hosts were very welcoming and the food and cake were top notch. As for Caroline, the instructor, she was very patient, engaging, informative and able to adapt her teaching method to suit the students. Would definitely recommend."

Zantium Studios Ltd responded:

"Thankyou Stuart. I will be sure to pass on your positive feedback to Caroline Gregson. She is a great tutor and always manages to create amazing results with complete beginners. Thanks for recommending us here at Zantium Studios."

Stephen Howard reviewed: Willow Plant Supports (1 day) in the Peak District

"We had a wonderful day making willow structures in a lovely peaceful garden. The atmosphere was very friendly from the moment we arrived. Rachel explained everything very clearly and then helped us all as needed as we built our structures. It was great to learn something new and to take our pieces home. The lunch and treats were superb and far better than you would expect to get on a course. All in all a fabulous day and we hope to come back for another course sometime."

Zantium Studios Ltd responded:

"Thankyou Stephen, This is all so good to hear 😊 It was such a lovely day yesterday. You're welcome back any time! We are adding more course dates to our Zantium Studios programme as we go."

I produced something I was proud of and will take pride of place in my garden. The studio is amazing. Alison was lovely and the food was delicious. Despite the weather I had a great time and met some lovely people. Highly recommend. "

Carol Grant reviewed: Willow Sculpture (1 day) in the Peak District

"The course was great - the tutor was very helpful and the lunch was excellent (including home made cake). I thoroughly enjoyed the day - there were 7 of us in total which was a nice number and allowed Caroline to give us all the attention we needed to make great sculptures - would be interested in doing a 2 day course to try something a little more complicated! "

Zantium Studios Ltd responded:

"Thankyou so much Carol, You were a lovely group and what a great flock of hens (+ duck!) created. As Caroline mentioned, we offer a 2-day workshop in 'Willow Animal Sculpture' where you could produce a larger (4 legged) piece - or a pair of birds. Hope to welcome you back sometime. "
