"2 Crafts in 1 Day!" 1-2-1 woodturning & pottery experience for 1 person
"What an amazing weekend! I purchased a wood-turning day for my husband for his birthday and decided to make a weekend of it with a pottery session for me and a stay in the beautiful ‘Crafter’s Retreat’. Louise was a wonderful pottery teacher, encouraging me to try new things and have confidence in what I was doing with kindness and patience. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for some relaxation and proper time out. "
"I spent a thoroughly enjoyable day with Simon to learn how to do wood turning. It’s something I have always wanted to do and the course didn’t disappoint. Simon is really easy going and gives clear instructions without ‘taking over’. Along with lots of hands on time on the lathe you also get bottomless tea and biscuits along with a hearty lunch. This is one of the best craft courses I’ve done so far. You get to take home 2 projects which will certainly impress your friends. If you’ve always wanted a go, don’t hesitate book this course you will love it. "
