The two day course was jammed packed with information and guidance, very good value for money. Cathy certainly has a wealth of knowledge on fibres and her craft. Her approach was friendly, knowledgeable and inspiring. I required quite a bit of support when learning to spin, her patience and support was amazing. So much so that she has encouraged me to keep on going with it. Despite my need for additional support she was on had for the rest of the group. Her workshop is an Aladdin’s cave of goodies. I will certainly be returning for another workshop / course.
