Dee is an excellent tutor coping well with students of different skill levels. She knows her subject thoroughly, gives clear instructions and help when needed but provides resources and encouragement for students to develop their own ideas and extend the part of the course they are most interested in.

I really enjoyed the course and found it really interesting and informative. I’ve made some Swords of Mercia knights banners for my medieval themed home. Dee is an excellent teacher and I really like her and passion & talent! In future I would like to make medieval inspired tapestries and homemade clothes by spinning and weaving my own wool!
