- your choice of vintage wooden bowl from my collection

Sarah really enjoyed herself: 'What a fantastic experience!! It was a treat to stop and be able to create a bowl that I would have happily bought if I saw it in a shop - this was a shock as I'm not very creative. Amy is such a great teacher and on top of this was lovely food, laughter and time for me. Well worth it xx'
