Testimonials
"I'm really pleased to have joined your class - I'm thoroughly enjoying it!" Elaine
“Never having attempted weaving previously, I found Alison’s instructions clear and easy to follow. The workshop was really enjoyable and fun and in addition to learning how to warp a loom and do basic balanced weave, we also had opportunity to learn more advanced techniques too. Alison was very approachable and helpful and I feel inspired to continue to develop this fascinating project.” Gill - North Cheshire Guild

"Hello Alison,
I wanted to email to say thank you for such a wonderful weaving course. Everything was perfect about it and you and your teaching are amazing. Thank you. I feel that I've managed to learn a lot and honestly I would really like to carry on weaving. Your enthusiasm and passion for weaving came through 110% all weekend and I think that some of this has rubbed off onto me!"

"Dear Alison, I have meant to thank you several times for all the effort you put into the day I attended at Bowland Guild when you did the session on dyeing. It was obvious that you worked your socks off, but I for one thoroughly enjoyed the day and the results on my fibres. Now I just have to decide what to use them for!! I, and several friends, have enjoyed looking at your lovely book as well - full of inspiration and magic.
Best wishes and thanks again,"

"Thanks for the wonderful day weaving. The day was very relaxed and a great help to get me started
weaving on my new loom.
By the time I see you again hopefully there will be loads of little samples and interesting things to show you."
Jennifer
"We had an absolutely terrific time…I think safe to say, we came away tired and inspired. Alison was absolutely brilliant - may have worn her out !!
Despite the numbers, Alison still found time to give individual attention to us all.
Terrific atmosphere and terrific people…..there’s another one……!!!
Got to keep some of the ‘story’ a bit quiet because the Workshop, I believe, is going to be given some space in one of the YarnMaker Issues - oooo….lol"
