Matt reviewed: Introduction to tapestry weaving

"I recently attended Sarah and Colin’s tapestry weaving course with my mum and dad, and we had a truly wonderful time. From start to finish, they made the experience enjoyable, informative, and engaging. Sarah and Colin are both incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their crafts, and their friendly, patient teaching style made it easy for us to learn. The course was well-structured, hands-on, and suitable for all skill levels, allowing us to create something we were really proud of. It was a fantastic way to spend the day together as a family, and I’d highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a creative and relaxing experience. Thank you, Sarah and Colin!"

The Wiggly Path Company responded:

"Thank you Matt. You and your family were a joy to teach and spend time with. It felt like you took to weaving like a duck to water. Lovely choice of colours, great tension and nice graphic designs to your frame loom tapestries. Now you know how to warp up and weave I hope you will enjoy doing more tapestries in the future together as a family. Take care very best wishes Sarah and Colin"

Mike Powell reviewed: Spoon carving and Whittling

"I attended this course at Harehope yesterday and can thoroughly recommend it. I arrived to a warm welcome and received expert and friendly tuition throughout the day. As a complete beginner I was delighted that I was able to come away with a complete and fully-finished hand-carved spoon. Amazing! I am now hooked and cannot wait to try my hand at some more whittling. Thank you Colin - you did a great job."

The Wiggly Path Company responded:

"Thank you Mike, you were great company and an ambitious learner, the result of your efforts were fantastic, considering it was your first foray into this skill set. We have to warn you that this craft can be quite addictive. But if we can be of any further help on your journey into the Whittling world then please don’t hesitate to reach out. Very best wishes for the future Colin and Sarah "

Amy reviewed: Spoon carving and Whittling

"I booked this day as a Christmas present for my partner and it exceeded all expectations. Sarah and Colin are such wonderful teachers with unending patience and excellent conversation throughout the day. Sarah prevented me cutting off my own fingers at multiple times during the day. You might think 7 hours is a large amount of time to carve a spoon but through their guidance not a moment felt wasted or stretched out. Thank you so much for a lovely day, I hope to come and see you guys again on another course"

The Wiggly Path Company responded:

"Thank you Amy, you both made our job easier, being excellent students, we really enjoyed your company and conversation, we had a lovely day and we hope you continue to explore this addictive craft. If we can be of help in the future, just let us know. Very best wishes, take care Colin and Sarah "

Vivien Self reviewed: Introduction to tapestry weaving

"This is an excellent day course. Set in the most beautiful setting, Colin and Sarah are welcoming, friendly and very talented tutors. All my questions were answered in an easy to understand way, even repeated requests to help me sort out where I had made a mistake were answered with patience. I loved the day, the workshop is .. a workshop .. warm and cosy with a wood burning stove for chillier days and endless tea and coffee when you want a drink. Sarah tutored me while Colin sat peacefully whittling and sanding his hand carved spoons. Such a fantastic, happy day and I have learned yet another craft. "

The Wiggly Path Company responded:

"Thank you, Vivien. We are glad you enjoyed your time with us. You were great company and a wonderful student, the day just flew by, you are welcome back anytime. We look forward to seeing what you might create in the future especially on the loom your dad made for you. Any advice on materials and equipment let us know. Take Care Very best wishes Sarah and Colin "
