Karen Richardson reviewed: Round Shopper Willow Basket

"I had a great time at this course - I had never woven a basket before and thanks to the excellent tuition from Suz my basket looks pretty good. Suz helped everyone to complete a basket in the day class. The facilities were good (the hall was warm and had good light) and I had everything I needed."

CHRIS reviewed: Round Basket Workshop in the Woods

"I have done a course with Suz Williams and it was amazing. She was very helpful teaching us step by step process making a beautiful finished basket. Skills we can use for future. Highly recommend you will have a sense of achievement when you finish and feel fulfilled. Don't hesitate doing this - please go for it. "

"Lovely day in the woods making our round willow baskets. As a complete novice I was reassured by Suz’s calm and knowledgeable approach, giving us clear step by step instructions. I would recommend this course to everyone. Thank you Suz for a wonderful day. "

Libby reviewed: Spoon carving in the woods

"Me and my partner had a fantastic time on the spoon carving course! The lovely Suz was a great teacher and we were really happy with what me made. It was a lovely spot in the woods with tea and coffee made over the wood fire. Highly recommend :) "

Anthea reviewed: Spoon carving in the woods

"This was a really relaxing course to do with friends. We loved the mindfulness element. Suz was a great teacher. My only thought is we could have done with an extra 30 mins to allow for a short lunch break and to make maximum use of the tools provided to complete the spoon on site. Or maybe we were just slow workers ! The sanding is easy to do at home. "

Nalini reviewed: Willow Obelisk Plant Support - Woodland Course!

"Wow! What a wonderful morning in a beautiful, tranquil surrounding in the woods. I booked this course for a friend's special birthday treat, and was not disappointed. The lovely weather helped, being outdoors. Suz was a very patient, and clear instructor. Always ready to help when you needed it. Everyone produced a great willow Obelisk and being a smaller group made for a friendlier atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend this course."

Malcolm reviewed: Round Basket Workshop in the Woods

"A very rewarding day with Suz. She is a good teacher/demonstrator and encourages everyone no matter their level of skill. Came away with a solid basket and some motivation to continue. Willow soaking behind the shed for next weekend. Great country venue to relax and concentrate."

Anna Brooker reviewed: Spoon carving in the woods

"Fantastic workshop! Suz was very patient with our somewhat questionable skills and carefully explained each technique. Very calm, mindful atmosphere sitting in a clearing in the bluebell wood, whittling away. Very happy with our slightly wonky first attempts at spoons and ordering some whittling tools this week! Highly recommended! "

"Thank you Anna! Best of luck with your continuing spoon journey!"
