Sofia reviewed: Morning Creative Weaving 2 hour Taster Workshop - flexible timing

"What a lovely morning I had with Ruth. I did the weaving taster session with no experience. Ruth was brilliant at explaining and demonstrating various techniques. What a wonderful studio too, draped with Ruth’s beautiful pieces of woven work and more. Time really does fly when you’re having fun. Came away with a beautiful big piece of my very first weave. I’m looking forward to returning already! Thanks for a relaxing creative morning Ruth! : ) "

Mike and Jayne reviewed: Morning Creative Weaving 2 hour Taster Workshop - flexible timing

"Excellent session. Learnt a lot from Ruth. A great creative experience. A short explanation on the loom, quick demo and then straight on with it. Had no previous experience but Ruth explained everything very well. As a bonus ended up with a good sized piece of fabric that I am quite proud of. Would strongly recommend even if you never go on to take up weaving. We will be back to Ruth in the Autumn for follow on sessions to learn more."

"Thank you Mike and Jayne, look forward to having you back at the studio sometime. 😀"
