Ian Armer reviewed: Leaded Stained Glass 2-Day workshop with Karl Percival at Creative with Nature Todmorden West Yorkshire

"I’m a big fan of Victorian stained glass and I’ve always wanted to learn how it’s created. This course, run by Laura Barnes at Joe Gregory’s willow workshop, showed us how to create a small piece, step by step and take the piece home. I loved it."

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..."

Creative with Nature Ltd responded:

"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"

Sarah Gordon reviewed: Silver Clay beginners workshop Todmorden West Yorkshire

"Sorry did not get as much as I had hoped for from this course. Would have liked a lot more teaching and ideas on techniques . There were only 3 of us so could have been prime opportunity for some great teaching of techniques. Needed more tools between us as were sharing basic cutters and more resources were needed to make prints from. If I had known before I would have been more than happy to bring more objects to make prints from. I am a hardy northern gal, but it was cold in the work space too. hope this is useful."

Creative with Nature Ltd responded:

"thanks sarah i'll pass onto the teacher. xx"

Phil Sutcliffe reviewed: Willow Ethical Trophy Stag Head sculpture course with Joe Gregory at Creative with Nature Todmorden, West Yorkshire

"Both my granddaughter and I loved our day with Joe. Joe warned us that willow weaving can be addictive and she was not wrong. We are already looking to book on more courses with Joe next year. Thanks to Joe’s expertise, her excellent instructions, her patience and her enthusiasm; we were able to make 5 different products. This course is probably the best value course on here."

Creative with Nature Ltd responded:

"lovely review! thanks Phil. really glad you both had a good day: ) joe. xxx"

Louise Swift reviewed: Outdoor mosaic workshops - 1 day with Rachel Hyde at Creative with Nature studio Todmorden West Yorkshire

"Loved it! First time doing Mosaic and both my mum & I managed to make 3 house numbers in our day, Christmas pressies sorted! It really was torture to have to stop! The cellar proved a treasure trove of extra bits & pieces of broken bits, which I preferred to the factory squares we had to begin with. Laura was great, let us get on with it but there when we needed her. Loved it, and would love to do it all again!"

Creative with Nature Ltd responded:

"brilliant! well done and thanks for leaving a review. xx"

joe gregory reviewed: Leaded Stained Glass 2-Day workshop with Karl Percival at Creative with Nature Todmorden West Yorkshire

"A totally new craft for me and I loved it! Laura is an excellent teacher. I was quite nervous working with glass, but Laura was really patient and after a while of practicing with cheap clear glass I felt much more confident working on my final piece. A most enjoyable weekend, I was really impressed with my results."

Maria Sheridan reviewed: Willow Ethical Trophy Stag Head sculpture course with Joe Gregory at Creative with Nature Todmorden, West Yorkshire

"The ethical trophy stag head sculpture workshop was a lot of fun with excellent tuition from Joe. We learnt so much about willow and how it was grown and treated before we worked with it. I knew so little about it before and now I'd like to craft with it again. I'll definitely be booking another workshop in the very near future."

"I learnt more from Laura in an hour than what I’ve ever learnt from books or you tube on mosaics. Clear direction with a wonderful vocabulary Laura gave everyone encouragement and detailed knowledge of what tools and ingredients to use. An amazing day. Thank you so much. Will come back for the silver clay course."
