Course testimonials:

  • Absolutely loved this course! Ella in just 3 classes, gave us an experience of multiple techniques that each can be used in a variety of ways. Ella is patient, knowledgable, and super skilled in her craft. Everyone walks away from each class with a basket (or more) that they can feel proud of.
  • I loved the basket weaving itself, the way Ella organised the series of classes, and how she brought interesting and beautiful materials to the class for us to use. She taught us well, and at the same time allowed a space for use to be really creative in our own ways. Wonderful course.
  • Ella was very helpful and made the course very enjoyable.
