"Fantastic workshop. Vicky was very good and supportive throughout. I have booked on another of her workshops so I think that speaks for itself."

Tracy Hewitt reviewed: Willow Christmas stars workshop near Tewkesbury with Dovecote Willow

"The workshop was great fun! A small group so not noisy or overwhelming, tea available to help yourself to when you wanted to. Vicky was incredibly welcoming and also very patient and helpful to us willow weaving novices. Three hours was enough time (with a lot of help from Vicky) to make a large star, a reindeer and a mini Christmas tree, so very satisfying to turn up at home with all of my goodies. Thank you for a wonderful morning Vicky. "

Dovecote Willow responded:

"Thank you so much Tracy, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the session! Best wishes Vicky "

Tony Clarke and Sally-ann Rhodes reviewed: Willow Obelisk Plant Support Workshop near Tewkesbury with Dovecote Willow

"A fantastic few hours of creative bliss! We have long wanted to make our own willow products, and this was the perfect way to spend a few hours on a Saturday morning. Vicky strikes the perfect balance between instruction and assistance, allowing us to push on with our creations whilst always being on hand to give guidance where needed. As willow novices, we really enjoyed this four-hour session which was simultaneously challenging, rewarding and relaxing in equal measure. We cannot recommend Vicky highly enough!"

Dovecote Willow responded:

"Thank you so much, it was a pleasure to share my love of willow with you! Vicky "

Karen reviewed: Willow Pumpkin workshop near Tewkesbury with Dovecote Willow

"Great soul food experience. Vicky explained each step, demonstrating what to do and checking in with everyone as we worked. My pumpkin looks great and everyone who’s seen it, loves it. Location of workshop added to experience and there was a group of happy pumpkin holders by end. Only downside was farm shop, coffee shop & vintage wares were closing as we finished so I’ll have to come back to have time to browse. Workshop was brilliant! Well worth driving up from Wiltshire for and great value for money. Will be looking out for more from Vicky. "

Dovecote Willow responded:

"Thank you in so much Karen, your pumpkin was amazing! I’m sorry you didn’t get your coffee for the journey home, I definitely need to allow more time for pumpkins next year"

"Really enjoyed the class. Nice small group and the instructions and steps were clear and because there was just 6 of us Vicky was on hand if needed. We all completed our hedgehogs in the time allocated with no rush to finish, a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Plus a good venue with great food and coffee next door! Would highly recommend courses with Vicky!"
