“I attended a heart willow session with Koren. I have never done anything like this before and was excited to see how it would feel to work with willow and it didn't disappoint. Koren was welcoming from the outset. She was clear, patient and very generous with her time. The energy of the group was very positive and made it a really enjoyable experience. We all went home with some lovely hearts and a new skill!”

“I loved the willow garden obelisk workshop with Koren. As a complete beginner, I found Koren’s instructions and guidance easy to follow and reassuring. Koren encouraged us to work with the natural variances in the willow and to embrace each item’s individuality. It was a fun, relaxed morning. By the end I had an obelisk that I added to the garden as soon as I arrived home. Looking forward to trying another of Koren’s courses!”

“I am happy for you to use the photo and have attached another of the obelisk ready for action!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, it was paced perfectly, and was fun and enjoyable. Being inside surrounded by your work was inspiring. I would happily come back to do other things and would recommend your course to others.
Thanks again,”

“This is me and my willow heart - I was never very good at handicrafts but found Koren’s workshop very encouraging and supportive and a lovely way to spend a few hours learning a new skill within a calm atmosphere. Willow can’t be rushed but will always end up where it needs to be!” Fiona Barker
“We were delighted with the willow coffin we finally chose, and I have fond memories of the other one as it looked like you could sail away on it!.....Also attaching some photos of decorating the first coffin we had. I didn’t get any photos of the decorated one in the crematorium but it looked stunning covered in wild flowers.
All the best with your business and I would definitely recommend you to others.”

“Thanks again for a great session. I was so focused on getting back on time that I didn't really focus on what I made or that you provided the fat balls for the feeder.
I am really impressed by how it looks and what was possible in such a short time.
Thanks again! I'll try to take it back to London so I can hang it in my mum's garden 😊”

“Koren made a beautiful Willow coffin and some additional willow hearts for my late wife Fiona. Communication from start to finish was excellent. A fine artisan craftswoman.”

“I recently attended a willow weaving workshop with Koren from Away with Willow, and it was a truly lovely experience. Held in her home overlooking her garden, the setting was small, intimate and welcoming. We made willow hearts, and despite having absolutely no prior experience, I found the process easy to follow thanks to Koren’s clear, patient guidance. She shared her background and the story behind her sustainable willow work, while giving us plenty of time and space to create at our own pace, offering as much or as little help as we needed. The hours flew by — it was calming, meditative and incredibly satisfying. I left feeling relaxed and inspired! I would highly recommend it to anyone, whether beginner or experienced. Until next time!” Elizabeth Lacey
“I enjoyed it very much and would be interested in the birds’ nests you make too. Go ahead and use this photo attached of my obelisk in situ with the sweet peas planted inside.”

“Koren wove the most beautiful urn (using the same willow that she used to weave our Aunt Catherine’s coffin), making a lovely keepsake in our home among the flowers. Thoughtfully crafted to elevate what matters most. Thankyou Koren.
