Recent reviews of Raffia Basket Coiling Workshop: Mariposa Stitch

  • 5/5 from Sherryn L Fry, attended May 2026: A friendly and fabulous learning environment. A calming and absorbing process that I can see being a hobby to enjoy in all seasons.
  • 4/5 from Gilllian Smith, attended Nov 2024: I thoroughly enjoyed taking this class and learning a new skill and look forward to practicing it further at home. My only concern was that I felt there was too many attendees crammed into the room. This made it quite warm even with the split system air running and if there were less students it would've been a more comfortable arrangement without having to worry about bumping elbows with the person seated next to you. If you dropped your needle your head was almost in the lap of the person seated next to you when you were trying to pick it up from under the table.....awkward! The class itself however was great fun and absorbing.
