I have had a great time at straight curves today. I have really enjoyed the course and I like Dee a lot. Great time and look forward to coming again. I started making a new coiled basket and will be taking it home with me to finish.

Attended the coiled basket workshop with Dee and four of us learning. We learnt about the different types of coiled baskets and then I had a go at a fabric covered small bowl/ basket. I had to choose the fabric and and core which took me ages to decide on, but eventually I got going and finished the day feeling very happy with my first attempt. Thank you Dee, you were very helpful and patient.
