I had a rich, complex, creative experience in the space of 3 & a half hours. Mandy’s teaching was so thoughtful, clear and specific, and the basic tools she provided so helpful. I was gobsmacked (as we say in Australia) that I could learn this craft well enough to really enjoy the learning, feel some competence and create a delightful weaving that I really like. And I was a real beginner. She mentioned on her website that we would choose among “an abundance of wild and luscious materials” and I sure did. She had all my favourite colours in such variety. She also let me work away quietly at times but was immediately responsive if I had a question or needed assistance. If I lived in Seattle, I would want to actually study this beautiful art form with Mandy for the therapy and the aesthetic. I fully recommend her workshops. She is obviously a gifted, experienced artist and an excellent teacher. Yet she’s gentle, patient and helped me relax to the task. Remi
