“Thank you for the great pleasure of participating in your inkle class. You are an inspiring teacher who finds a way to meet every student at their leaning edge. I particularly enjoyed the way you share our discoveries and insights with the class, so that we are all uncovering knowledge together. I also really appreciate the waste conscious ethos that gently permeates every aspect of the class experience from the heddles to the looms to the teabags. This resonates with my own values and craft practice. ”
