You have an extremely gentle and patient nature which is so so valuable in these classes. I really think it was fab and I love my basket. I have been on many willow workshop and the willow was soaked/conditioned and prepped beautifully. It’s such a game of hit or miss and at the start of the day it was perfect Jules From Where Inspiration Blooms
I love my basket; woven in are all the special conversations we shared, but most all - the kind, patient, professionalism of Jordie 🥰 feel very grateful
for my opportunity. Sally
Thank you so so much Jordie for a very well constructed and beautifully delivered workshop today. I loved it... and I love my little basket xxx Jenny
I had a lovely day. Jordie you’re such a kind, patient and competent teacher. I love my quirky basket too .
There is something deeply human in forming natural materials into useful shapes. Sharing the process and learning together in such a calm and progressive way becomes a meditative, creative journey, from softened willow to an individual, somewhat quirky form under your gentle tutelage: a lovely way to nurture human nature.
I have now been on 2 of Jordie’s basket making courses. It was such a fantastic day with great chat and cake.
Jordie has a fantastic teaching manner which is very calm and is happy to repeat instructions as many times as is needed. Definitely want to learn more.
I spent a very enjoyable day learning the basics of basket making with Jordie and made a small basket of which I am proud! He is a patient, kind and enthusiastic teacher. His style of teaching is gentle and sympathetic especially to beginners. He is knowledgeable on the subject of basket making of its history and of the many different types of basket and willow work that he has perfected.
