TESTIMONIALS FOR OUR LIVING WILLOW WORKSHOPS

Thank you so much. I had a wonderful time and gained so much knowledge. Maria Blann, Chase Bridge School, Richmond [on willow workshop at Shepperton]

My name is Louise Shapley and I teach at Heatherside Junior School in Fleet.  In January this year I took part in your willow training day at Shepperton and was very impressed with your work.  Louise Shapley, Teacher  

I have been on a willow course before, but came away from that one feeling I had spent quite a lot of money, but achieved very little. Your course, however, was completely different. The attention to detail was excellent, and I felt really confident when I left about what I could achieve. You are both excellent teachers, and I congratulate you both.                                Malcolm Robertson, workshop participant
