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

"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."

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

"Joe offers fantastic and friendly tuition, in a lovely space right in the heart of Todmorden: a fascinating little town in the beautiful Calder Valley. Joe is very skilled and knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. She grows, cuts and prepares her own willow, so when you learn at Creative with Nature you also learn about the tradition of willow weaving and have a sense of its place in the wider landscape. Joe really cares that people get the most out of a visit to her workshops, and leave with new skills and a new object they can be very proud of. Cannot recommend enough."

Creative with Nature Ltd responded:

"ah thanks jane!! a great review, glad you enjoyed your day. joe. xxx"

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

"I've been on many courses with Joe, at her lovely studio and other venues too. I booked a session for me and my mum for her 80th birthday (what do you buy an 80 year old!) Joe's patient teaching encouraged my nervous mum to make a lovely pea climber which she enjoys in her garden, and we had a very special day together. On every one of Joe's courses you come away with a beautiful creation; her teaching is excellent. Joe engages all class members equally, whether you're a complete beginner or have lots of experience you'll enjoy your time spent with this lovely lady. Her knowledge of willow, basketry and all things natural is extensive and readily shared - go ahead, book a course you'll never forget!"

Creative with Nature Ltd responded:

"that was a special day with your mum! thanks alison a lovely review. joe. xxx"

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

"Joe is a super teacher, crafts person & keen to share her talent & skill. She has endless patience. The basket weaving course was stretching, rewarding, muscle building and great fun. I loved working with a new material & having the opportunity to try something new. And, Joe's store is a delightful environment to get creative. Thanks Joe :-)"

Elizabeth Martin reviewed: Willow bird sculpture with Joe Gregory in Todmorden, Yorkshire

"I booked this course for my aunt and myself after trying to get onto previous courses, and was not disappointed. We really enjoyed learning a new skill and although it was a very hot day, and we were wilting by the end of the course, we proudly took home a completed heron and curlew! The group was small, which meant that Joe was able to show us all the next stages easily, and as the willow is long and wispy, we needed space so that we did not attack each other with the ends as we concentrated on the weaving. A friendly and relaxed atmosphere made it a great day. Thank you."

Creative with Nature Ltd responded:

"thank you so much for such a lovely review! great you enjoyed the day: ) joe. xxx"

SONYA woolley reviewed: Willow bird sculpture with Joe Gregory in Todmorden, Yorkshire

"Fabulous day bird willow weaving, I made a chicken which I love. Joe is a great teacher guiding us all with our chosen birds all of which looked great at the end of the day. It was a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere but we all produced a great bird at the end. Great value for money, fantastic teaching, thoroughly enjoyed it, can really recommend it. This is the second course I have been on, the first being a hare weaving one which was also great."

Creative with Nature Ltd responded:
