additional testimonials
I loved how low pressure and light hearted the sessions were. I felt so at ease and like I was among my people. Thank you for a really fun and interesting few weeks.
I’m not always confident going to new settings, so I was really pleased I’d been right to think it would be my kind of thing… I enjoyed learning to cord, working with willow, being with other people with similar interests & being in the woods.
I had fun, felt inspired and learned something… Honestly everything! It was a perfect mix of different activities.
A Genuine Bargain, Your expertise and skills are clear in hoe you run the sessions and the little ‘take homes’ like the jars and the journals feel like they are extras.
