Recent reviews of Chinese Knotting Workshop

  • 5/5 from Elisabeth Browne, attended Oct 2026: The class was the perfect size for getting individual attention. The teacher was patient and encouraging and supportive of questions. There was a nice choice of materials to work with and you get to keep the instruction sheets to help you remember the knots. Highly recommend even if it seems a little daunting when you start.
