Can I please offer my thanks again for a really fun day. Its inspired me onto a new path, super nice that your wee course is a first step. As a fellow instructor/coach of 12 years I can say that you have great patience, concise, clear and calm demonstrations and super friendly banter and instruction, most importantly a seamless learning process backed up by your wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for basketry. Weaving is infectious!!
