And what a great two days – Mary is such a lovely person and a great teacher. I’ve come back really feeling that I have mastered the basic techniques of twining and am looking forward to experimenting with various materials.
I really enjoyed it and now will probably spend way too much time twining Mary is such an inspiration, and teacher and so easy to understand, she was great, I loved her.
Thank you so much for a fabulous two day twining course. I learnt so much – not just the course content on twining but you are an ace and model teacher.
