Hans Grupping reviewed: Wood turning - One day course

"A great experience, Anna is very generous in sharing her knowledge of wood turning, patiently explaining the process, which tools to use when & how to set up the lathe. She quickly built my confidence on the lathe and let me work the wood, offering advice & guidance when needed. I had a great day, came home still buzzing & used my bowl straight away!"

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Glad to hear you were buzzing from your class. Happy future turning "

"Superb day with Anna. Arrived with some nerves having never used a lathe before. But I was soon fascinated by Anna’s clear explanations, easy manner and I was put at ease very quickly. I particularly appreciated her allowing me to learn some basic skills just by handling the chisels. Loved the finished result and the way I learned even through some of my mistakes! Hope it’s a beginning."

"Glad you had a great day"

"Excellent experience with Anna Nichols. I attended with my partner Tom. We had done some woodwork before but not turning. She had a very pleasant and patient manner. Her instructions were clear and perfectly paced. Really pleased with what we achieved and learned. Overall excellent value. I would certainly return for another course and have no hesitation in recommending this experience."

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Glad you both enjoyed the day"

"Wow What an absolutely fantastic day - we had so much fun and Anna is such a friendly and relaxed teacher. I can’t believe we made those gorgeous bowls! I’m hooked…. I want to do more courses now. Seriously, absolutely recommend it. Because the groups are so small, you get lots of 1-2-1 tuition but you never feel like teacher is watching. I learned so much."

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Awesome glad you had a good day turning. Happy future turning "

Thomas Morrison reviewed: Wood turning - One day course

"Attended the one day wood turning course. Anna was a fantastic tutor and very patient, she put me at ease right from the start and explained every step in detail both visually and verbally. It was a real fun day and by the end I'd made a lovely bowl. "

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Great Thomas. You were really good at it. Hopefully you keep going and get your own lathe. Very calm and relaxed with the tools"

"What an experience! Anna explained everything step by step because, as a complete beginner, I needed that. The day went quickly. Step by step Anna demonstrated, then after each step, it was my turn. I was guided unobtrusively, while being allowed to get a feel for the tools and wood. The one to one tuition, meant it all went at my pace, and I did not feel I was keeping others back. Anna is so patient, reassuring, clearly loves her profession and made me feel relaxed. I was so proud of my finished bowl! I hope to be able to take part in more Woodturning classes run by Anna, and even feel I would enjoy being part of a small group for beginners. "

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Glad you had a good time "

"Well worth the money! Originally I was going to buy a lathe and plod away myself in a self-taught fashion from day 1. I'm glad I didn't as I now realise I could've wasted a whole load of time and money. Great practical training but also great advice on equipment, tools etc"

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Great and good luck with your little product you're making"
