Fran reviewed: Evening Woodcarving Taster Workshop

"Great introduction to woodcarving. I liked the relaxed atmosphere and that we were away working with the tools in no time (instead of lengthy explanations at the beginning). Would definitely go back for another course."

Clunie Fretton responded:

"Thank you Fran. It was great to teach you, and I thought you did brilliantly! Looking forward to teaching you again in future."

Marianne reviewed: Evening Woodcarving Taster Workshop

"A great two hour workshop! Bought this as a gift for my husband. Clunie, the course leader was brilliant and giving us all the instructions we needed to make our first attempts into the swirls of carving. She was very patient and had so much to tell us about the skills she had learnt over the years and showed us some of her amazing work too. "

Clunie Fretton responded:

"Thank you Marianne! It was a delight to have you both in the class, and I'm so pleased you enjoyed it."

Laura Borchardt-Hume reviewed: Evening Woodcarving Taster Workshop

"Really enjoyable short course as an intro to woodcarving. Small group, super encouraging and patient tutor and I left buzzing with the sense of possibility (and with a small woodcarving in my pocket). Not something I’d ever thought to do (it was a gift) but so glad I did!"

Clunie Fretton responded:

"Dear Laura, thank you so much for coming on the course and bringing such energy and enthusiasm with you! You were a pleasure to teach and took to working with wood very naturally. I hope to see you again!"
