George reviewed: Introduction to Spoon Carving

"Loved the course. Came away feeling that we had learnt a skill to take away and refine. Chris is very engaging. Easy to be around and clearly incredibly passionate about what he does. You only need to look at how he works the wood to see that he is a very proficient artist. You are in capable hands - he is not just some one who practices wood carving as a hobby, he is dedicated and it shows. Very hands on day. What is wonderful is that you start with a round of wood and you personally work it all the way to a usable spoon. It is extremely satisfying to do. Relaxed atmosphere. His mum puts on an unbelievable homemade spread for lunch. It should be noted that tea and drinks and food alone are VERY well provided. It was delightfully unexpected. No pack lunch nonsense ! For the money its a bargain compared with other courses I've been on. Go for it"

Lisa Richardson reviewed: Landscapes in Fleece

"Myself and two friends spent the day with Sally Anne making small stags and a hare. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and we were thrilled with what we had made in just one day, it didn’t seem possible. Sally Anne is an excellent teacher and shared with us lots of knowledge around her crafts. Barley is also a lovely village with 2 pubs and a cafe on the car park so you can combine your course with a nice lunch. I can’t wait to book on to another course and will definitely be recommending to friends."

"I really enjoyed my first try at weaving on a frame loom with Alice. All equipment was supplied including materials. Alice's instructions were clear and she gave individual tuition when required. She has inspired me to do more and I will attend another workshop. It was a wonderful day."

Tom reviewed: Four day intensive beginners woodwork course

"Ciaran is an inspirational teacher and is passionate about tools, wood, making beautiful things from wood, and passing on that love! The four day beginners' course was packed with useful tips about how to get the best out of tools and materials, in addition to how to make neat mortice and tenon joints and other basics. The course was great fun and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking to learn the basics properly or to improve the quality of their work."

Ang reviewed: Four day intensive beginners woodwork course

"I was a genuine woodwork beginner, Ciaran's background in teaching meant that everyone (with different abilities) on the course was catered for‎. I enjoyed every day, learnt new skills, was inspired and Ciaran shared many tips and gave lots of knowledgeable advice from how to renovate and maintain tools to where to source wood. To sum up the course in one word it would be AWESOME. "

Sophie reviewed: Introduction to Spoon Carving

"The whole day was phenomenal from start to finish. The way Chris teaches in such a supportive and fun way put all us beginners at ease and enabled us to really enjoy learning this new skill. A lot of thought clearly goes into the day and the lunch was absolutely delicious. We came as a group with many dietary requirements and all of them were taken care of; we were given a delicious feast! Also, the confidence you come away with from the day means you can continue to carve spoons on your own from a block of wood in the garden-this to me is seriously cool! I really would recommend this course to anyone."

Steve Castle reviewed: Blacksmithing, bladesmithing and metal craft

"The one day course was booked for me by my wife as a birthday present. It was a very enjoyable time - Nigel's laid-back style of training helped me to gain a basic understanding of what can be done with some heat and not-so-heavy hammer. Rather than getting us to do small practice exercises, each step in developing your technique led ultimately to some very useful items. The shop and sculpture garden provided ample ideas for projects and are worth a visit in their own right."

Diana Ramsay reviewed: Beginners woodturning course

"Ciaran's woodturning course was excellent. He took us through the safety aspects, introduced us to the tools we would using, and then let us loose on the lathes. Brilliant, hands on learning which resulted in us our first turned items. I was so inspired by the course, that I'm now turning at home on a lathe I bought. I would highly recommend Ciaran's course."

Jo Saunders reviewed: Gelli Printmaking with No5workshops Group Booking

"What an inspiring, fantastic afternoon. I had so much fun and learned oodles about mono and gelli printing. Armi allows you to develop your print with as much or as little help as required. She is passionate about printing and it shows in her work and teaching. I'm utterly thrilled with the pieces I produced and I am looking forward to the Armi's art booklet stitching course. The venue is as equally as inspiring as the course. Design-led, light and airy studio - simply stunning. And, the refreshments.... wow! Home-made cakes – artisan, delectable, moreish!"

David Lea reviewed: Four day intensive beginners woodwork course

"As an absolute beginner in any form of woodworking I thoroughly enjoyed this course and I learnt so much. From understanding how to care for, maintain and use hand tools properly and safely, to building an Ash and Walnut display table using a various array of techniques, all patiently taught by the master craftsman that is Ciarán. His relaxed and encouraging teaching style quickly allayed any fears I had, meaning I could enjoy the course from the very start. I am now working on a few small projects to build more confidence and skill before booking myself on the intermediate course"

"What a fabulous weekend I've just had! I've learnt some new skills in leather craft, made a beautiful hand made leather bag, from an excellent teacher, Jason. Both days were really relaxing as we worked away using the skills he taught us, the time just flew by. After a lovely weekend in the workshop I feel really inspired to make my own bags and cant wait to get my hands on some leather! Thank you Jason for a great weekend and passing on your amazing skills!"
