Great workshop albeit a little brief. It would have been good to hear what brought other people came onto the course and what their previous experiences were with textiles.

A relaxing, enjoyable learning session with a passionate teacher. So well organised with great materials. Jess presented everything in a thoughtful and calm way which inspired confidence in everyone.

Jess was an excellent teacher, pacing her information and instructions perfectly. Materials and examples provided were creativity provoking and we were excited to create something beautiful (I hope I have!). The venue was very good with a great Cafe down the road for lunch afterwards.

Jessica was lovely and provided all the materials we needed. Very informative and there were lots of opportunities to ask questions. Lots of encouragement and info to try techniques at home. Really enjoyed this class. Thanks Jessica

The venue was amazing so was the teacher I loved the activity and what I have learnt. She provided us a lot of information about ecodyieng, materials used and different techniques. She have got a great knowledge about plants and how to create with them.
Very enjoyable experience. Jessica also invited us to some tea/coffee and cakes.
I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is interested on learning about ecodyieng.

I really enjoyed this group session, the venue was quite central and perfect for our workshop .
Jesse knows her trade and shared her talent with the group. Something very different to try.
