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

"I had such a good time on this course - The satisfaction from weaving with willow and natural materials, being taught to weave the most beautiful basket is a fantastic feeling. I cant believe how well I did - a lot of it is down to Joe’s being such a good teacher, extremely patient and attentive - and she has the ratio of students to teacher just right so you get all the help and guidance you need. The gallery/studio itself has a very calming, comfortable atmosphere - I felt right at home - I’m already booked onto the next Stag Head course - I can’t wait :-)"

Creative with Nature Ltd responded:

"That's really kind! Thank you Jane, glad you got so much out of it, including your beautiful basket!! xxx"

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

"The shop is based in the lovely old town of Todmorden, with plenty of on street parking and places to go for lunch. This is the third course I have been to, and I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. But the two day basket making course was fantastic. Joe is extremely patient with everyone. I now have much more of an appreciation for baskets now that I know how much work goes into each and everyone of them. I adore the basket I made and due to the hard work I put into the making of it, I know it will be part of my home for a very long time. The price may seem expensive, don't let this put you off. Yes you can but one cheaper, but it will never mean as much to you as the one you created from sticks of willow. A course to teach basketry and appreciation of an age old craft. can't wait for the next course - already booked!"

Creative with Nature Ltd responded:

"Thank you Donna! you did such a good job! and a pretty advanced weave with the zigzags for a beginner!! well done. xxx"

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

"All of Joe's willow weaving courses attended so far have been enriching and enjoyable experiences. Joe is very approachable and friendly while she has a lot of patience in showing her students what is required to make a successful piece of willow weaving whether that takes a specific form such as a basket or whether it is more of a free form sculpture such as an animal. I would highly recommend Joe and her courses to anyone!"

Creative with Nature Ltd responded:

"thanks wendy! lovely feedback. xxx"

Louise Hunt reviewed: Foraged Basket 2 day Course

"This was my first course with Joe, and I’d received it as a present. What a fabulous gift! It turned out to be the first course of many. I am addicted. Joe is a very patient teacher, helping you to creat a unique basket. The course are only small groups so you all revive lots of 1:2:1 guidance throughout the day. Weaving is like therapy; it is so absorbing that you can shut down the stresses in life, just get on with your basket. The courses are excellent value for money."

Creative with Nature Ltd responded:

"thanks Louise: ) xxx"
