Feedback from DIY9:2012 participants:

A life-changing weekend in Morecambe.” Participant in Nigel & Louise’s DIY

Aside from being satiated by the whole experience from start to finish I think the few days we spent together will have a real impact on my practice – I’m not sure how yet – but feel certain I learnt something profound and deep. About myself, about others, about making.” Participant in Zierle & Carter’s DIY.

Thank you so much for a fabulous weekend. I think the main thing I’m thanking you for is this feeling that still remains deep in my gut, which I haven’t yet come to know, connect or otherwise identify, but seems to be something that I care deeply about, want to treasure and yet not destroy by taking apart too roughly. I may know it better in a few days, or weeks, or months. These things permeate slowly, I tend to find.” Participant in Dickie Beau’s DIY
