Excellent. Judith’s class was both structured as we learned the steps of screen printing and creatively liberating as we each made up our own designs and executed them. Judith was always on hand to help. Her zesty love of all things arty and Pacifica was infectious. A delightful two day workshop amongst the native plants of Nikau Gardens.

I found this workshop really comprehensive, and I didn’t expect to learn so much in such a short time.  I would participate in a further ‘extension’ workshop if it was to be offered in the future.

A perfect venue, the workshop was very enjoyable and informative.

HIghly recommended workshop, it is a great opportunity to explore another art form

 Looking forward to learning more at the intermediate and advanced level Harakeke Weaving workshops

Anita was a delight - so free with information and help, the perfect personality for a diverse group of people

A wonderful venue with inspiration everywhere.

Everything was great, good introduction to techniques, inspired to try at home.

Good fun, very lucky to have so much one on one time.

This workshop has everything, more than met my expectations.

Would like the workshop to be extended two more days, I loved it that much!   Enjoyment, professionlism, and satisfaction with results.

A really inspiring workshop, I learnt lots of techniques and knowledge.  I achieved a lot, could easily have done another day.

Everything was excellent and beyond my expectations.  A lovely venue, I would highly recommend this workshop to others.

Time flies, so much to see and learn.  Maggy is a great tutor and helps alot.

Came back for a second time workshop, everything was fabulous - two days of bliss - Wild Basket Making with Anita Peters

Lovely venue, nice to be in the tutor's home studio.with heaps of resources.  Have also attended Mini Hoop Embroidery and Introduction to Harakeke Weaving workshops.

A steady learning pace educated help, and enjoyed meeting like-minded people

Looking forward to learning the Photographic transfer technique next.

Fantastic, I've learnt so much, the tuition and experience was perfectly suited to me as a beginner.

Awesome - Anita has been so generous with her time and talents.  I would absolutely recommend others to participate in future workshops.

Anita takes people where they are at.. 'gets' how weaving fits with their lifestyle and matches their ideas - WOW

Relaxing, satisfying, challenging (in a good way) just lovely, a great sense of accomplishment!

Relaxed, friendly and creative, the workshop had just the right amount of information and practical balance, I feel we couldn't have fitted any more into the 6 hours.

Incredibly inspiring, we learnt all kinds of new techniques.  I can't wait to get home and practice them.

A fabulous workshop for a mother and daughter, the felt skills were well taught in a very relaxed atmosphere.

Absolutely would recommend others to participate in workshops with NZ Textile Experiences!

Inspiring and Educational,  I learnt all the basics plus extra techniques to create variety of english and contemporary basket weaving.

Wild Basket Making with Anita Peters

This workshop surpassed my expectation, it was stimulating, exciting, informative.  I loved the way Anita combined traditional weaving techniques with free form abstract approaches and the use of wonderful natural materials.  

It was fun, challenging and a great experience, the quality of materials was amazing they were perfectly prepared.  Inspiring, from the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out with a truly amazing basket!  Anita and Murray looked after us in so many ways, "

Inspiring, exciting, flexibility and helpful, allowing for thinking along different lines.  I enjoyed the great set up, notes, power point, supplier recommendations and suggestions.

Great inspiration, I learnt a lot about felting techniques, well worth it.  The workshop was very well organised with tons of information.  The environment was relaxed, I was made to feel right at home!

Everything was very well prepared, the workshop more than met my expectations!

Anita was well prepared and very flexible and helpful with materials throughout.

Judy gives so much of herself and is endlessly helpful.

Everything was very prepared, organised and the tutor adaptable for student needs.

Very relaxed, informative, friendly and useful the Contemporary Felt Making workshop perfectly met my needs.

Most definitely recommend this workshop, ignited my creativity - so many ideas!

The environment was informative and informal - it was awesome to be able to develop my own design, thanks Judith!

We learnt about the different screen printing techniques and how we could use the techniques in the classroom with our students.

Karuna is a wonderful teacher, so patient - we worked solidly all day to complete the sample which I am totally delighted with! 

The Weave your own Sampler workshop was brilliant, the tutor gave me her full attentions which made me feel so lucky!

A very pleasant learning environment with a relaxed atmosphere in a quaint environment. Karuna has lots of knowledge to impart and I really enjoyed the opportunity to try out different size looms.

Great to learn and try out all the Screen Printing Techniques.

I loved learning all the techniques and feel very excited and confident to keep exploring!

… I found it very satisfying and I learned quite a lot of things/techniques/ideas that I could use in the future, I also have 7 pieces to take away and finish - homework!

A fun workshop with a good number of students, I would highly recommend others to participate in NZTE workshops.

Great creative time in a beautiful setting with inspiring people, thank you.

The tutor was excellent at tutoring to all levels, beginners to experienced.  The small class size was excellent and meant that while she was tutoring and explaining to the beginner student I was able to move on with the practical aspects of the course. 

Adi's Digital Textile Design workshop was very informative with clear and detailed instructions - great pace to be able to retain the information

Well organised and I have lots of  ideas to take away with me to try at home.

A sincere thank you to Judith & NZ Textile Experiences for providing such a practical workshop in a pleasant and relaxing environment.  I had been searching for a workshop to learn the photo emulsion screen printing techniques for a while, and fortunately this one was right on my doorstep in beautiful Nelson.  I feel confidently armed with enough knowledge and practice to take my ideas and get printing!

Inspiring, with lots of fabulous samples and different methods to look at.

Lovely location to learn about Eco Dyeing, I would recommend this to others!

Anita and I have co tutored on several occasions and I can vouch that Anita is a competent weaver with experience in many different mediums.  She relates well to students of all abilities, is creative and innovative, enthusiastic and fun to be around.   

I really enjoyed the Felt Making workshop. The tutor was so helpful and I learnt so many new skills. I'm looking forward to using these to make lots of great gifts for the family.
