Kate reviewed: Wooden mechanical toy (automata) making

" Stefano is a great teacher and made us feel very welcome in his workshop. I am so pleased with my fishing cat toy. He was also extremely helpful with sending directions and instructions ahead of the workshop. I would highly recommend this course. Thanks for a fantastic day! "

Penlan Crafts responded:

"Hi Kate! Thank you for your nice review! I'm very happy that you enjoyed making the fishing cat, it was a long day but what a satisfaction transforming few pieces of timber in a mechanical toy! "

Ali H reviewed: Wooden mechanical toy (automata) making

"An enjoyable day with Stef who is organised, enthusiastic, patient, has a meticulous attention to detail and is super knowledgeable about automata. Time flies by quickly in a long day covering the basics, creating all necessary components by hand, assembling, painting, and finally departing, after a rewarding experience, with a very pleasing mechanical toy. I would happily recommend this course."

Penlan Crafts responded:

"Dear Ali, thank you for your very positive review! It was a pleasure meeting and working with you, and I really appreciated your ideas in the personalisation of your automaton. Yes, it was a long day and you worked hard, but thanks to your creative skills (and to your new woodworking ability!!), you created a beautiful toy 😊 "
