Recent reviews of Willow Plant Climber Weaving Workshop

  • 5/5 from Ginny Troussard, attended Sep 2026: I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Sharon is a great teacher and I am thrilled (and amazed!) that I made a fabulous willow plant climber for my garden. I will be gifting classes for friend's birthdays in future!
  • 4/5 from Heather Fletcher, attended Jul 2026: What a great way to spend a Sunday morning! My long term friend and I had lovely morning learning a new skill and leaving with a creation. Our tutor was lovely, patient and knowledge. I’d highly recommend this activity.
  • 5/5 from Kaz Bemrose, attended Jun 2026: Shaz was fantastic, patient, informative & helpful. A great way to spend a Sunday morning. Planter already in position in the garden
  • 5/5 from George Raeburn, attended May 2026: This class was absolutely fantastic! The workshop took place in The Art Pod which is very down to earth, at the back of a retail shop, and full to the brim with arts & crafts supplies and children's creations, which gave a lovely creative vibe. The teacher was really friendly, warm, clear and the perfect balance of on hand if you needed her but hands off enough to let you get stuck in and give it a go. Would strongly recommend this or any other workshop on offer!
  • 5/5 from Jane Lee, attended Mar 2026: A wonderful class, great teacher, with a relaxed environment for learning.
  • 5/5 from Patricia Manuell, attended Mar 2026: Very relaxing and creative class making an attractive willow structure for climbing plants. No prior knowledge or ability needed to create something very pleasing. Lots of help and encouragement given by the teacher and a cup of coffee!
  • 5/5 from Belinda Miles, attended Feb 2026: A thoroughly enjoyable class. Would recommend this to anyone who is thinking about it. I just want to do more. Waiting eagerly for the animal weaving class to be added to the calendar.
  • 5/5 from Ms J V Heron, attended Aug 2025: The teacher was excellent. Knowledgeable and patient. Individual attention was perfect. It was great fun! I want to do another course with Sharon. Such a good day.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Di Lauro, attended Aug 2025: We thoroughly enjoyed this class which taught us a new skill/craft so much so we have already decided we'd like to do another one in the near future. Shaz was great at explaining each step, obviously very experienced and very friendly. Nice, small group which meant each member received Shaz's attention at all times. We fully recommend this class. Josie and Sarah
  • 5/5 from Sara Bragg, attended Jul 2025: This was a wonderful class with a fantastically encouraging, gentle and generous tutor. It was also very productive - I am very proud of the (only slightly wonky) willow plant climber I came away with. I felt very supported and learnt a lot. Highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Lenka Krug, attended Jul 2025: Sharon was very friendly, welcoming and was hands on at every stage to guide us through the process. So happy with my willow basket really loved the class. I would recommend this class 10/10
  • 5/5 from Debbie Willard, attended Jul 2025: Absolutely loved this class! Excellent friendly teacher, every stage clearly explained. Very pleased with my willow plant climber. Would thoroughly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Paul Bryant, attended Jun 2025: Great class. Really patient and friendly teacher and my wife Michelle and I are really excited pleased with our willow obelisks. Great value for money
  • 5/5 from Ms L K Harrington, attended Jun 2025: Teacher was great and easy to use the gift card
  • 5/5 from Suming Wild, attended May 2025: An excellent class to learn a new and useful skill. The teacher, Sharon, explained and demonstrated the techniques clearly. The pace of the class was great and well structured. I highly recommend the class.
  • 5/5 from Nicola Anderson, attended Mar 2025: A relaxed friendly, fun class learning how to weave willow into a climbing plant obelisk. Small class size meant we had help every step of the way. Nothing was too much trouble. Very good value. Would happily go back for another class.
  • 5/5 from Penny Townsend, attended Mar 2025: Really great course and superb tutor giving just the right amount of help so you end up with an item you are proud to say you made yourself without feeling that actually the tutor did most of the work. I'd highly recommend this course to everyone, great fun and you leave feeling you have accomplished something.
  • 5/5 from Alie Carter, attended Mar 2025: A most enjoyable and productive class with extremely helpful instruction.
