"Lovely day yesterday, in ideal place the Hotwalls in Old Portsmouth. Never done loom weaving before, although seen different methods in other counties. Alice was a great teacher and very patient, also supplying tea, coffee & biscuits to keep us going. Liked the idea of small class with 4 of us. Once I started I couldn’t stop."

"Lovely premises and delightful small group. Having never tried weaving the outcome was surprisingly good which I’ll atrinute to Alice’s teachings. She was patient, helpful and insightful. Enjoyed so much that I have completed a few more since. Would also recommend buying the loom from Alice too it’s a sturdy piece and a manageable size."

"I had a great time on my very first weaving course with Alice at her studio. The group was small, and Alice gave plenty of attention to all participants. She explained the weaving processes clearly and was always on hand to sort out any problems we had. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and went home with a nice little piece of woven material. I cannot recommend Alice's course highly enough!"

"This is a fantastic workshop! Alice is a patient and knowledgable teacher, and having 4 people per workshop works very well- everyone is able to have some one to one time (and there were a lot of laughs to be had!). The studio is beautiful and easy to find, very warm and lots of light, and full of creative pieces from Alice. I will definitely be signing up for another workshop. 5*"

"Once again I cannot praise Alice enough, having attended her Introduction to Loom Weaving a few weeks ago I was itching to get stuck into the macrame course! Beautiful calm environment, fabulous coffee and highly influential teaching. I was so sad to leave as I’d gotten used to coming each week to learn something new! I’ve learnt so much valuable information from Alice herself, let alone her workshops. I could go on for hours, I cannot recommend her enough. She’s fantastic."

Eloise Kent reviewed: Macrame Pot Hanger Workshop

"Alice is a great teacher, she taught each person the knots individually to their needs, she then helped us all with ideas and how to recover from mistakes. The others of the course were great like-minded crafters. Felt very comfortable and enjoyed the day. Lovely studio and lovely area, I hope to book onto the weaving course because Alice is so clever and all her products are amazing and so inspirational."

"Alice is a very creative little being. She provided a welcoming and warm environment, spent equal time with each of us and provided encouragement throughout the day. As someone who hasn’t attended a workshop on their own before I personally found it an achievement that was made so much easier by her kindness and positivity. I can’t wait to learn Macrame with her next week! (Yes I booked two courses) - she’s just that good!"

"Really enjoyed this course, had such a lovely day, the class size was perfect and meant everyone could have as much help and attention as they needed. Alice is a great teacher and her relaxed style of teaching created a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. There is plenty of time to actually complete the weave and I feel like I learned enough to be able to do this at home too."
