"Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed yesterday's workshop and your tuition, it was fun and the day certainly passed in a blur.
Basket was admired on arrival home, high praise from another with aerospace engineering background!!!"

"Hi Sarah
Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable 2 days. I really missed not being there today! The course was brilliant; interesting, practical and rewarding and you made it a lot of fun with your amazing enthusiasm. I enjoyed the banter between and with the ladies too!!" Mike. 14th &15th May 2021
"Hi Sarah,
I just wanted to say thank you for the great course, I’m really looking forward to trying out some of the skills I’ve learnt,
and I’m hoping to perhaps attend another of your courses in the future. It was a real pleasure to meet everyone on the course, and spend the two days with them sharing some laughs. Many thanks Sarah Harper" 14th & 15th May 2021

Zarzo Basket Day October 2020
"Hi Sarah,
Thank you for a great basket course yesterday, really enjoyed the day and absolutely love my square Zarzo basket!! Your passion, enthusiasm and skill are so inspiring, you are a true pioneer for the industry.
Just a thought re ‘commercial Basket makers’- what about artisan makers as an alternative description?
Thanks again.
Very best wishes,
Rosie" (pictured bottom left)
"LOVED making my zarzo basket on Friday (despite the wrist) and definitely want to make another basket. Friends also interested! I think I’m on your mailing list but can you just check because I wouldn’t want to miss my chance. Thanks! 💕" Nichola (pictured top left)

"Hi Sarah, I just wanted to thank you for a thoroughly amazing and enjoyable day on Saturday! I was completely buzzing when I got home and all my family and friends have been bored rigid by photos of my basket!
I enjoyed many aspects of the day - learning a new skill, being patient (rare for me!) and meeting new people (and Tam). Willow is incredible to work with and I would like to do some more so watch out for my name popping up on your sculpture days later in the year!" Jane. June 2018

I had such a lovely day and so enjoyed myself and was totally delighted with my basket which sits very happily by my log burner. It was an absolute delight to be taught by yourself and Tam x". Kerry. January 2018
