"My experience with Matt’s 4 day course exceeded my expectations. It’s obvious the passion Matt has for thatch and for the future of thatch. I left with slightly sore arms feeling excited, inspired and full of joy. His way of teaching was very effective to me in such a small amount of time. He is extremely patient and calm and tells you like it is. I feel that I learned way more than I expected to. It was an entire experience, with really tasty lunch and dinners, mostly homegrown/baked or locally sourced, accompanied by great chats and laughs. Learning about some history of the area and their community was inspiring as well. I highly recommend anybody that even has a slight interest or wonder in thatch to take the course, there’s a lot of knowledge and fun to be had."

I would just like to thank the both of you for a really enjoyable few days that I spent on the thatching course. Matt is an incredible Thatcher who is passionate about his craft and the attention to detail is of the highest standard. I feel honored that I got the opportunity to learn about thatching as no course has existed and trust me, because I’ve been looking for years. The course wasn’t rushed and I didn’t feel intimidated as Matt took his time and everything was planned. Thank you as well Jenny for your hospitality and catering for my food requirements. The fact that all the meals were prepared by you and were nutritious and delicious and I won’t mention that it was all grown by you but....you guys nailed it! Mike
