| "I, as complete beginner, enjoyed basket making with Vincent and found his tuition excellent. Rosemary as an experienced basket maker got good tips and learnt new skills to further her knowledge which she has already started passing on to her students. Vincent has a great personality and a wealth of knowledge about the islands and island life which he readily passes on. " Stephen and Rosemary, England |
