Malcolm Griffin reviewed: Tray making workshop using the technique of steam bending wood

" The day was well structured - all the wood and equipment etc. was produced at exactly the right time so we all "kept going" - in addition the skills content was dealt with in an informative, supportive and friendly manner.....thank you."

Marion reviewed: Bird Feeder making workshop using the technique of steam bending

"I thoroughly enjoyed making a birdfeeder with Myles! From the moment I walked into the workshop, he made me feel welcome, relaxed and confident that I would produce something wonderful. His tuition was careful, patient, and always exactly what I needed at every point in the process, only going 'hands on' where he could see I needed a little assistance. Everything we needed was provided and every step well-explained. I was thrilled with the end result and it will take pride of place in my garden. "

LayerTree responded:

"You made a great bird feeder Marion, we are so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed the workshop! We hope to see you again, perhaps on one of our other courses :)"

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."
