Rachel reviewed: Weaving the cosmos: sacred geometry and hexagonal weave basketry

"This hexagonal basketry and willow 'celtic knot' course far exceeded my expectations ... Daniel and Vija were terrific teachers, so patient and knowledgeable; the incorporation of principles of sacred geometry (a core focus of this wonderful Sacred Art of Geometry studio) was fascinating. I highly recommend this course and look forward to attending further courses at SAOG Studios. (Note: Be sure to book an 'Emerson lunch' - Delicious!!)"

"Thank you for the workshop. I wonder what it was that one was so tired afterwards? I am still pondering how do use the wonderful creation. Just to look at it it has an ordering, harmonising effect. I hope to do other workshops with you at SAOG Studios."

"Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed the course (Weaving the Cosmos: Sacred Geometry and the Art of Hexagonal Basketry). You made us feel very welcome, and we were instantly put at ease by relaxed ambience of your studio. Your passion for the subject was evident and was infectious even allowing for my own lack of natural ability! Many thanks"

"A very inspiring course. We learnt so much; Daniel and Vija were such patient and knowledgable teachers. The handouts were also helpful. I do feel that the course could be spread out over two days to do it full justice. I must also add that the location of Sacred Art of Geometry - SAOG Studios - is idyllic. I will certainly be attending further interesting courses with you again in the near future."

Jayne Britton reviewed: Celtic Pattern, Geometry and Imagination

"Great course, Adam took us through Celtic knot principles and then led us into the development of the complex DaVinci and Durer knots so we could see how to analyse further patterns after the course. Adam teaches at a great pace and is very patient with all our questions!"

Jane reviewed: Alchemy of Pigment and Pattern at SAOG Studios

"I wanted to write to you both following my weeks course with you doing the "Alchemy of Pigment and pattern' ... I wanted to express to you how truly inspiring I thought it was. Through my work as an artist, a designer, and previously as a teacher of art and artistic therapy, I am very much interested in the processes of alchemy and inner transformation through imagination and artistic work with a connection to nature. However, I have experienced a very long period of disillusionment and creative lostness. Your course has helped me to regain a depth of meaning, enthusiasm and direction. As teachers you both have a combination of talent, modesty and authenticity for which I am most grateful, as well as a relaxed environment in your studio full of books, learning , good conversation and creativity. I felt so at home and have left with a huge book list and bags of inspiration. I feel that you have helped me to re-connect with all that is important to me and I wanted to express my gratitude to you both for a most excellent week. I hope that in the future I will be able to attend more of your courses ..."

Ana Paula (Brazil) reviewed: Alchemy of Pigment and Pattern at SAOG Studios

"This has been the most amazing week ... magical is not a helpful adjective, but how else can one express the quality of a time that expands and contracts in such a delicate and organic, comfortable and respectful way? A place in which the flow of the day can fit inspiring thoughts and practical learning with such truth and beauty? Where one learns so much from lines, forms and inner alignment? Gratitude and Abundance is what I take with me from these days and I'm sure my learning will follow for many weeks to come. Thank you for such a nurturing and vital experience. I bow to you for you are true masters!"

Suzanne Koszyk reviewed: Weaving the cosmos: sacred geometry and hexagonal weave basketry

"I loved the day and I can't believe we managed to learn how to do three different weaves. It was very helpful to start with drawing and then see it all come to life ... it is so generous to teach us as much as you offered today. I will highly recommend your teaching to others. It was really fantastic. Thank you so much!"

Jenny Pruess reviewed: Geometry of Morocco and Al-Andalus

"A wonderful and friendly studio in which to study the art of geometry, in beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Daniel's and Kira's instructions are clear and go at a pace that are easy to follow. It is a delight and revelation to watch the beautiful patterns unfold before our eyes from the initial grids we have constructed. Thank you for all your inspiration!"

YASMEEN HASNAIN reviewed: Geometry of Morocco and Al-Andalus

"Immersing oneself in the rich artistic tradition of Islamic geometry was so good for one's being and soul.Daniel is an excellent teacher - very knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. Different patterns of varying complexity kept me completely involved. The environment of Emerson college was very conducive to learning and reflection. The Art room of SAOG is serene and a sanctuary. One seems to be in the studio of Abul-Wafa al Buzjani ( 10th century Persian mathematician and astronomer in Baghdad)- working with compass and ruler, understanding the interplay of mathematics and art. I do hope to enrol on further courses that Daniel and Kira are planning for the future. Thankyou and shukran."

Vija reviewed: Weaving the cosmos: sacred geometry and hexagonal weave basketry

"Fantastic course! Very inspirational; Annemarie was a generous and very skilled teacher. SAOG Studios put on an amazing array of courses - will definitely be back for more. Conveniently close to London (less than an hour's train ride) and having accommodation and meal options at the stunning and tranquil Emerson College (where SacredArtofGeometry/SAOG Studios are based) is a bonus."

"Wonderful week of exploring ancient techniques and creating from the earth. Loved exploring the planetary connections through the patterns and colours. I came away with a freshly discovered love of compass and ruler - a huge change from my recent work! Absolutely delighted with the experience and the results. So looking forward to joining more courses with Daniel and the Sacred Art of Geometry."
