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 for what its worth can I 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. Thanks especially for making the extra time at the end to let me finish. Weaving is infectious!!
