Dan Fletcher reviewed: Stone carving 1 day introduction course in East Yorkshire at Micklethwaite Studios

"Had a days lettercutting with Alan and Tracey and what a fantastic day in a brilliant setting. Both absolutely lovely people with a vast knowledge of the craft, showing me how best to cut out the letters and marking them onto the stone. I have done a few courses at a few different places but this place is above anywhere I've been before and would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to learn anything about carving stone. Will definitely be back for more tuition."

Micklethwaite Studios responded:

"Hi Dan, Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was a pleasure to meet and teach you, and your approach to developing your carving skills was fantastic, with your beautifully carved letters being the outcome! We will really look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes, Alan and Tracey"

Glenn Gudgeopn reviewed: Stone carving 1 day introduction course in East Yorkshire at Micklethwaite Studios

"Spent a day in this lovely workshop with free parking nearby. Alan and Tracey were very friendly and great company throughout the day. I was shown how to plan and prepare my piece (dogs grave marker) and was really impressed by the end result. Their style is relaxed and encouraging. I will be back in the new year for another course. Brilliant day, would highly recommend"

Ashley Tallyn reviewed: Stone carving 1 day introduction course in East Yorkshire at Micklethwaite Studios

"If you have the slightest interest in stone carving, get yourself down to Driffield! I spent two days learning and carving with Alan and Tracey and cannot recommend it enough. I had a great time and learned so much about general stone carving and the restoration carving that I was particularly interested in. Alan was so generous with his time and I can't believe how much I was able to achieve. He is a great teacher and both he and Tracey were so welcoming. Tracey even went above and beyond to work with me and my hectic schedule to sort out a couple of dates that would work. My general interest in stone carving has been absolutely set alight and I can't wait to get stuck in on a project at home. At least until I can get back down to Driffield!! :)"

Micklethwaite Studios responded:

"Hi Ashley, Thank you so much for your great review! It was a pleasure to meet you, and we are so pleased to have been able to find some dates that made it possible for you to come along - especially as we love to hear your interest in carving has blossomed. You really did achieve a lot during your two days with us - and have created a fantastic carving. Enjoy your carving at home, and we will look forward to seeing you again here in Driffield too! Best wishes, Tracey"

Rob Bell reviewed: Stone carving 1 day introduction course in East Yorkshire at Micklethwaite Studios

"My wife booked me on this course as a surprise as I’d expressed a vague interest in carving. What a day!!! Tracey and Alan are really friendly and his relaxed teaching method is perfect. I carved a Yorkshire rose by following his very clear instructions. Friends and family can’t believe what I’ve done. If you fancy a go at stone carving, and there are lots of designs a beginner can try, then I would really recommend you get in touch with Tracey and Alan. Thank you so much for a great day."

Micklethwaite Studios responded:

"Hi Rob, Thank you for you great review! It is lovely to hear you really enjoyed your day with us, and I'm not surprised your friends and family are so impressed by what you have achieved - you did a fantastic job of carving your Yorkshire Rose. It was lovely to meet you, and we will hope to see you again in the future. Best wishes, Tracey"
