“I couldn´t have got a better experience. The place was gorgeous, the people from another world and the teacher fantastic. It was a lovely and fun ambience , full of amazing and creative people. Thanks Rachael for organizing such a wonderful experience!!”
“Amazing week of millinery inspiration-
So much fun, I learnt so much in a supportive and creative environment- highly recommend attend an event like this- great location, workshop space and accommodation.
But to learn so much from Maor in such a great friendly environment was the best.”
“Lovely.
This experience attracted a diverse group of interesting/talented people.
Everyone who attended was equally enthusiastic and ready to learn each day. The organization and accommodation were on point.
Maor’s techniques are unconventional yet quite of the time. They go beyond millenary to sculpture as fine art. The approach of no rules with refined techniques was refreshing. Maor is an extremely talented individual who not only produces fabulous pieces but has the unique ability to teach- he can relay his process... WOW. Such duality. What a pleasure to be a student of his.
The week flew by and left me feeling creatively invigorated.
Fabulous. Xx”
