I would definitely recommend this class if you are looking to learn a new skill or do something different with your weekend. I took my mum with me and would recommend bringing along a friend so you can chat away whilst weaving - otherwise there were lots of other lovely people who had gone along, to chat to. Miette was super friendly and helpful. Its so nice to come away from a class feeling inspired...and with a beautiful brooch :)
