Feedback

  • I am proud of what we achieved on the day and my confidence in my abilities is now much higher. I left site with a huge sense of satisfaction. Even now, a few days further on, I marvel at how I was able to create such a challenging, beautiful piece of work that is robust and useful too.

  • We had a superb day, Natalie was very accommodating with our timetable as we arrived late. We started with the hunter gatherer games to burn off some post coach energy. We loved dressing up and examining the artefacts. The children absolutely loved the quern stones, fire lighting and shelter building. Nothing but positive things to say. Staff and volunteers amazing - thank you.

  • I've been on several basket making courses before and this is definitely the best one.

  • "I felt so welcome and there was an amazing atmosphere at Carymoor. I felt a wonderful sense of belonging. My life has changed beyond anything I could have imagined since I came along to a course and subsequently became a volunteer. I could never thank you enough.’

  • I was so impressed with what I had made and really inspired to work more with willow and make more baskets. I haven’t felt this motivated to craft in years!
