Pete McManus reviewed: Introduction to relief carving in wood with Sarah Goss

" I’d like to thank Sarah Goss for a very enjoyable, relaxed 3 day course. She was very friendly and approachable, her skills and professionalism were amazing. In my opinion the course was the right length for me to get a basic understanding of the tools and how to use them and even came away with something I could be proud of. I hope to use this knowledge to embellish the things I make in my home workshop as soon as I can buy the necessary tools."

"Superbly well organised. Spaceous, well-equiped workshops. Happy & relaxed while informative, inspiring & well-paced. We all achieved a huge amount within the time. 3 days is an ideal length. Lisi is an excellent, friendly & very proficient teacher. I loved it. "

"Very enjoyable course, Sarah was a great tutor, relaxed and clearly very knowledgeable. I was able to make something that came out a lot better than I expected. The tour around the gardens was a much appreciated bonus. "

Richard Orton reviewed: Introduction to relief carving in wood with Sarah Goss

"Loved this course, equally challenging and rewarding, three days of learning a new skill with a great teacher and a group of good people in a lovely setting and comfortable, well equipped workshop. Sarah is a very good supportive teacher with a great teaching style that made the days very relaxed and enjoyable, plenty of good humour for a good group dynamic with a very nice carving to take home at the end.. Many Thanks"

Rupert reviewed: Introduction to letter carving in stone and slate - 3 days

"An excellent mix of instruction inspiration and execution. The technique was explained and demonstrated really well, and plenty of time allowed for experimentation and trialling prior to a contemplation of design ideas for a piece to take away. The whole establishment was really welcoming and the facilities were excellent. Also looking to do another course in another discipline."
