In the Journal

  • "Loved, loved, loved this workshop! I did the Loom Weaving workshop, with zero experience under my belt and walked away with a finished piece and a huge sense of satisfaction in learning something new! Sarah is a wonderful teacher with a gentle touch that will guide you to opening your creativity in a safe and inclusive space."

    - Kirsty Wyatt

  • "We did the Light Heart Collective macrame workshop on a BODHI Managers Retreat down south recently, and the team loved it! Getting the team together to create and problem solve, and work together in the sunshine, was the perfect way to start our team building weekend. Sarah guided us though the activity step by step, gently assisting where needed, and we all came away with a beautiful piece of macrame. I’d highly recommend the workshop."

    Tania Taylor, Director BOHDI Spa

  • "Sarah's weaving class was a total delight. My niece and I loved it and doing it together made it even more fun and special. Thanks Sarah!

  • "What a fabulous evening out! I attended the Macrame workshop recently with some friends & it was loads of fun. I learnt a new skill & made a piece of art that now hangs in my home. I highly recommend booking one of The Light Heart Collective workshops. I ended up buying a voucher for my Mother in Law for Christmas and she loved it!"

    Jemilah Wright

  • "Thanks Sarah for such a warm welcome and a lovely macrame workshop. I'd highly recommend your classes to anyone who wants to increase their creative skills or (like me) take a relaxing break from the every day and learn weaving, basketmaking or macrame in a fun and supportive workshop - thank you! xx"
