"A superb course with such a simple yet profound philosophy of mending something broken in a beautiful, delicate way. I loved that we had the opportunity to continue the theme in different ways - pottery, paper, thread... Pippa is so enthusiastic and a great teacher. I would love to do a follow on course."
