Malc Waters reviewed: Two day wood carving course at Middleton Hall

"As a beginner, the woodcarving course was excellent. Geraint is a very patient tutor with an excellent knowledge and way of passing on this knowledge. At times I was unsure if I would finish my project but I did with 15 minutes to spare! Middleton Hall is a lovely location, and it was idyllic working on the lawn in the sun. I have already signed up for the newsletter for next year’s class dates! Thank you for a most enjoyable weekend - now to buy some more tools 😊"

Rowland Hughes reviewed: Two day wood carving course at Middleton Hall

"I attended the carving course at Middleton Hall. The course was excellent. I can speak highly of the tutor who was knowledgeable and helpful and explained clearly the stages of our carving. I have only one other comment. The weather was fine and sunny, was there a contingency plan for heavy rain? "

Aline Shand reviewed: Two day wood carving course at Middleton Hall

"This was my third woodcarving weekend with this organiser and I most probably will do more. Those courses are so well organised and in beautiful settings. Gerraint is an excellent teacher, positive, encouraging and most importantly you go home with a huge sense of achievement and a carving you would never imagine you could achieve in 2 days. Working with wood is so therapeutic too. "

Janey reviewed: Two day wood carving course at Middleton Hall

"What a wonderful two days I have just spent.... I knew nothing about woodcarving and the course with Geraint was exactly what I hoped it would be. The individual work places, the introduction to tools and how to use them, the right choice of subject - I did an ammonite (wanted to do the hares but Geraint wisely said too much too soon!!) Geraint came around with advice and skill just when I needed him every time!! The location at Middleton Hall and the weather were perfect too. Go for it if you are at all interested....!!!"

Lisa and Alan reviewed: Two day wood carving course at Middleton Hall

"Both my husband and I enjoyed the 2 days. It was great to spend time on a new activity. The tutor was lovely, very encouraging, helpful and kept going round the whole group to see if anyone wanted help. I was really thrilled with my wood carving at the end of the weekend, I didn’t expect it to turn out so well."
