Stephanie Bila reviewed: Steam-Bending Courses in Cumbria

"I did the one day steam bending beginners course and I found it extremely inspiring and interesting. I felt that Charlie delivered the course passionately and that the day was really well organised. He really managed to show us a lot of techniques in a day with great energy and was attentive to any questions or particular experiments we wanted to try within the group and on an individual basis."

Niall McConnachie reviewed: Steam-Bending Courses in Cumbria

"I attended Charlie's wood-smithing course in France 2016. It was a great experience and Charlie is an excellent teacher full of knowledge, energy and a desire to experiment and be creative. Danny is a great host, always willing to help out and as a local can give you all the info you need on the area. We learnt a lot on the first two days and then had fun experimenting and playing with wood for three days, exploring what was possible with the two chestnut trees that had been milled up for the course. We even helped Charlie create an amazing sculpture that now sits above the gate at the house where the course is held. The village of Caunes-Minervois is beautiful, set in an amazing area of France, with the sea and the mountains not too far away, the stunning town of Carcassonne just a 20 minute drive and of course all the amazing French food & wine!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed my day on the beginners steam bending course. Charlie is a great teacher and could not have done more to ensure we got the most from our time with him. Truly inspirational, humble man. Passionate about teaching and inspiring others. Thank you."

Erlend reviewed: Steam-Bending Courses in Cumbria

"I learned so much in Charlies course! I had some experience with the technique from before, but still learned very very much, that it would have taken years to learn by myself. I will really recommend his courses, and I will definitely join one of his other courses as well."
