Shelly Cole reviewed: Beginners 1-day 1-2-1 woodturning workshop for 1 person

"What an amazing day! I learned so much, Simon let me go at my own pace and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. Great communication before and after. Plus a fabulous lunch jointly shared with the pottery class which was lovely. I would highly recommend this workshop! A most enjoyable experience making a beautiful bowl and mushroom made by my own hand (with lots of help)."

Laura reviewed: Beginners half-day 1-2-1 woodturning workshop for 1 person

"This was a great experience, given as a gift for an 11 year old with an interest in woodworking. They loved how hands on it was and are very proud of the items they made. They learned a lot from the expertise shared by Simon, who is an excellent host and tutor. Thankyou for making this a special day."

"A very enjoyable course in a relaxed environment. Louise and Simon provided plenty of encouragement and help on the day. I was very pleased with the resulting silk painting and might have another try at home."

Helena Hart reviewed: Beginners half-day 1-2-1 pottery throwing workshop for 1 person

"I really enjoyed my second course with Louise and thoroughly recommend having this one to one experience. I was able to choose what I wanted to make and concentrated on making thrown pots. My arthritic hands did not interrupt the creativity and Louise was able to find alternative ways of holding the clay which assisted with the making. Cant wait to book an other course."

"It was lovely to have you back in the studio Helena. You achieved a lot in the time we had and it was good to see the progression. I think we can go for a bigger bowl next time! Thank you for the lovely review. Very kind of you. See you later in the year."
