COMMENTS FROM STUDENTS

A quick note to thank you very much for what turned out to be the most wonderful, inspiring, fun weekend I've ever had on a course. Everything about Assington is magical! Lovely tutor, delicious lunch, beautiful surroundings and the icing on the cake - the sun shone. Congratulations to you both for providing the perfect setting for a weekend away from it all. I envy you the blissful lifestyle. Barbara Pearman

Thanks very much for an enjoyable weekend. Juliet and I loved it and hope to keep willow weaving for a long, long time. Will try to be back for more courses! Loved the place. Mara

Wonderful concept for learning, beautifully implemented. Trisha Roberts

Super lunches.  Really enjoyed the weekend.  So peaceful yet so busy on the course.  Thanks, Richard.

Even on reflection I am still struggling to sum up in words what a wonderful weekend I have had.  Just speaking to Bob on the telephone before I even arrives instantly put me at ease.  Even driving down the lane to the mill made me think, this is going to be a great weekend, and in no way was I disappointed.  The welcome, the location, the house, the farm, the studio, the tuition, the facilities, the knowledge, the information, the badgers [we went for a badger-watch on Saturday night], the food, oh the food, all exceptional.  Thank you both for the opportunity of helping me to learn a new skill.  Mark
