Paul Allen reviewed: Hanging planter workshop using the technique of steam bending wood

"A great course! Their stylish workshop made the perfect environment to learn about steam bending. This delightful couple shared their knowledge and expertise with us and confidently guided us through the process answering all our questions along the way. I could tell a lot of thought had gone into designing this planter and creating the course so that anyone could make it. I can't believe we all walked away with such beautiful and individual planters."

LayerTree responded:

"Thanks for your kind feedback Paul. We really enjoy putting these courses together and so it's wonderful to hear what a great time you had."

Jennifer Wright reviewed: Tray making workshop using the technique of steam bending wood

"What an inspiring day learning about steam bending wood and having a go myself! It was a cleverly designed and planned course so that everyone, even those with little or no woodworking experience were able to make a high quality tray. Brought home a bag bursting with steam bent pieces and had a wonderful day out. Highly recommend!"

LayerTree responded:

"We are thrilled to hear what a great time you had at the weekend Jennifer. Your finished tray was just beautiful! Hope to see you again soon."

Neil Dickinson reviewed: Tray making workshop using the technique of steam bending wood

"My daughter and I had a lovely day in Myles’ and Madeleine’s super workshop getting to know about some different woods from the usual DIY pine. Very relaxed but focussed teaching and learning at a good pace. Definitely a different experience and interesting to see how this charming and modest young couple have created a business making and supplying their products across the world."
