Kirsty reviewed: Basket making for beginners using traditional willow basketry techniques

"Spent a very enjoyable day learning how to weave a willow basket. Instructors were very clear and helpful. Gained lots of helpful information and tips. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to make their own basket. Everyone in the class went away with a finished product that they were all very proud of."

"Me and my mom who is 83 years old had a fabulous time. They helped my mom when needed and were patient when she didn’t understand. They were so inviting, with homemade lunch, snacks and plenty of beverages. It was lovely to achieve such a beautiful crafted item, and I would definitely recommend this course."

"Attended with my mum as a birthday gift for her. Fantastic course. Becky and John were incredibly knowledgeable and gave you as much support as was necessary. Had a great day, the food was fantastic and came away with two wonderful baskets we had made completely from stretch! "

Shirley Green reviewed: Basket making for beginners using traditional willow basketry techniques

"A fabulous workshop for beginners with no experience. My niece and I made large baskets with patient guidance of Jon. We didn't think we'd get it finished as we were slow on the base of the baskets but once onto the side it was a lot quicker and could see our progress. I would definitely recommend this course, once we had done the course we would be able to do another more advance item. Coffee, tea and flapjacks were provided throughout the day, we paid £7 for a hot lunch which was a pot pie choice of mushroom, spinach and lentil of cauliflower cheese fillings along with a selection of hot vegetables followed by an apple, blackberry and blackcurrant crumble pie all delicious."

"A brilliant basket making course, from start to finish. Johnny & Becky have a well structured method of teaching, the day went like clockwork. Such an enjoyable day spent at their lovely workshop in an idyllic location. I was totally amazed that the basket made was as big & strong as it was, couldnt wait to bring my first attempt home to show it off . Thank you so much both."

"My partner and I absolutely loved this workshop. We each completed a basket. We were able to each make a different basket-him a large round basket and me a foraging basket. We love them and they will be very useful. Becky and Johnny were very good teachers and the lunch was delicious. I thoroughly recommend this workshop."

"What I considered would be impossible was, as it turned out, possible. With expert tuition, a guiding hand when needed, patience and a little help when my arthritis played up, I produced a lovely basket to keep logs in. And there was cake and endless cups of tea!"

Geoff Benn reviewed: Foraging Basket

"Super day with a real sense of achievement at the end. Jonny and Becky are excellent tutors of the novice, encouraging and supportive but also on hand to rescue students when they go wrong! Not the easiest venue to find but well worth it when you get there. Lunch was excellent. Enjoyed immensely and considering now to do the more advanced course."

"A wonderful day spent weaving a Foragers Basket. This was my second weaving course and I am glad it was this one. Becky and Jonny were both on hand to help and patient. I loved the fact that we were able to get on with it and do as much as each person could. A small group, there were 4 of us. Lunch was extra, well worth it and highly recommended."

Dorset Dumples reviewed: Basket making for beginners using traditional willow basketry techniques

"Thoroughly enjoyed making our Willow Baskets yesterday. John & Becky were brilliant! Very knowledgable and gave great 1-to-1 tuition on the difficult bits. Both my husband and I have problems with our hands because of Arthritis and were not sure if we would be able to achieve our basket making aims. No fears there! With the expert tuition and care we managed to produce a respectable “first” time effort. Would definitely recommend taking this course to all. The lunch provided by their friend & Caterer looked very lush, not to mention the dessert Apricot Tart, too. Wished our special dietary requirements allowed us to partake in the lunch, it all looked delicious! "
