And the course here is fully booked will you be doing any more course’s in our area.we are very interested a lot of the skills which you have to offer.
Hi Anita, yes the basket weaving we full yesterday. It was a great course. At the moment we have a limited budget and are trying to run a workshop in as many locations as possible around the county.
Did you see anything else suitable on the website.?
I will keep your contact details also and if anything else comes out of this programme I will let you know,
Kind regards

I’m wondering if you plan on running any workshops on Basket Weaving during 2014. If so can you please let me know dates, venue and cost. If not I’d appreciate it if you could advise of other courses/workshops that may be running that you are aware of.
