Janet Hammerton reviewed: Introduction to Off-Loom Weaving Workshop, Crawley, Hampshire

"An amazing class enjoyed every minute, I learnt so much in just 3 hours, Thanks Elka. P.s. The homemade madeleines were to die for, an added bonus as no one ever caters for celiacs."

Elka responded:

"Hi Janet, Thank you so much for the lovely review. It was great to meet you and i'm so glad you enjoyed the weaving and cake! Have a wonderful Christmas :)"

Chloe Harding reviewed: Introduction to Off-Loom Weaving Workshop, Crawley, Hampshire

"I recently attended one of Ellie's workshops with my daughter and it was brilliant ~ we both absolutely loved it. Ellie is so knowledgeable, kind and patient. She provided us all with tea and coffee upon arrival, which created a friendly welcome; it was also lovely to be able to sit down with a cup of something and settle into the class while she gave us some background knowledge on weaving. The equiptment and materials provided were beautiful. There was a real variety of different yarns and I had no idea that you could get a yarn made from rose, which is unbelievably soft! You are also able to purchase a loom which comes with clear instructions and photos (fantastic) put together by Ellie making it easy to take home and carry on weaving. This calss is a must for anyone interested in weaving. We shall definitely be attending another one in the future."

Elka responded:

"It was great to have you both there and i'm so glad you enjoyed it. Your weaving was fabulous!"

"Hi Caroline, Thank you for the review. It was great to meet you and i'm very glad you enjoyed the workshop :) Best wishes, Ellie"

Clare Davie reviewed: Introduction to Off-Loom Weaving Workshop, Crawley, Hampshire

"Ellie provided an excellent introduction to frame loom weaving for beginners. A super selection of natural materials was available for the class to use, and help and encouragement was given when needed. There was an option to buy equipment at the end for those who wanted to continue with their piece of work. Three hours went very quickly (as did the delicious lemon cake!) Thank you for an enjoyable morning Ellie, I would recommend this for beginners to weaving."

Elka responded:

"Hi Clare, Thank you so much for the review. It was great to meet you and i'm very glad you enjoyed the workshop. Best wishes, Ellie"

Jane Rankine reviewed: Introduction to Off-Loom Weaving Workshop, Crawley, Hampshire

"Ellie is a lovely and enthusiastic tutor and I really enjoyed the workshop. My only suggestion would be perhaps not to offer drinks straight away so that she is on hand to welcome everyone and find out what made people want to come to the class and find out names. Once everyone got started there was a natural break to go and make teas etc. The choice of materials was excellent as was the equipment provided. I'm sure anyone wishing to learn a bit about weaving would benefit from this workshop."

Elka responded:

"Hi Jane thank you very much for the review. Apologies for being on tea duty when you arrived. I like to offer everyone refreshments on arrival as some have traveled several hours to get there. I have taken your comments on board and will make sure everyone has been introduced properly moving forwards. It was great to meet you and I'm glad you enjoyed working with all the materials."

"It was a wonderful evening workshop. Both informative and enjoyable. We learned the basics of weaving and had enough time to create our own small wall hanging choosing from a great selection of materials provided by Ellie. I would definitely do more workshops."

Elka responded:

"Hi Claudie, thank you so much for the review. It was great to meet you and i'm very glad you enjoyed the workshop."
