Laura Lovell reviewed: 2 Day Woodturning Course for Beginners

"This is such a great course. The two days passed in a flash and I have learned so much. I haven't done any woodturning for over 30 years but am keen to get back into it and this course was just what I needed. The pace was great, with Mick explaining each part of the process and then giving us adequate time to complete that part before moving onto the next stage. He covered so much content but never overwhelmed us and we were able to go at our own pace. We made 4 great pieces and got to use high spec tools and equipment, including really good PPE so we felt safe at all times. The class numbers are small so there is the opportunity to ask lots of questions and have the support you need to get the most out of the day. Mick's workshop is well organised and spacious and he has lots of different equipment available. I've had a fabulous couple of days and would definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn more about woodturning. Mick is great at tailoring his tuition to your needs so whether you are a beginner or someone who wants to further their woodturning skills, this is the course for you."

"Hi Laura Many thanks for your kind words. I'm so glad you felt such benefit from the course because you put a lot of effort into the two days and produced some beautiful finished products. I know you are keen to pursue the craft further at home and you have now got a solid foundation in place to make a good start. Please keep me posted! Thanks Mick"

Dominic Ellis reviewed: 2 Day Woodturning Course for Beginners

"Fantastic two day starter course. Mick’s purpose built workshop is excellent for teaching and turning. Mick is very good at explaining concepts and techniques. He provides attendees with latitude to express their design creativity whilst balancing that with help where needed. My fellow attendee and I had virtually personal tuition with top of the range equipment. We each created 4 artefacts that looked as though we were semi-pros. All of this down to Mick’s coaching and guidance. I would highly recommend this course to all newbies to woodturning. "

"Hi Dom Many thanks for taking the time to write such a positive review of the course, particularly straight after such a long drive home! You worked really hard and I enjoyed watching you develop as a turner. Your finished products were great. I look forward to you updating me on your progress with your home set up and newfound skills! Thanks Mick "

"What a fantastic, informative and rewarding course I have just completed! Mick has really created something special here with his purpose built, well equipped workshop providing a great atmosphere to teach, have a laugh and meet new people. The work I produced far surpassed what I thought I would be capable of and with Mick’s tuition and encouragement it all made for a very relaxed and enjoyable experience and I would highly recommend this course to anyone thinking of taking up wood turning. Well done Mick, keep up the good work 👏🏻"
