"Lovely teacher, enjoyed every minute of the course."

Steevan Glover reviewed: Relief Wood Carving Art

"I attended this course in mid June 2024 and was fortunate that the sun shone as that allowed me to fully enjoy the wonderful woodland setting. Ruth is a relaxed and engaging teacher, with a brief overview of the art and then a few mins choosing some oak to carve on we moved to ideas for a pattern. (I took a couple of ideas with me) and then I was taken through techniques and chisels and mallet choices. The good thing, for me, was that it was immediately hands on. Doing was very much learning and Ruth allowed me to move forward at my pace then would check in and advise, help and encourage. Which i needed as I decided that doing Hokusai's the Great Wave was a good idea! The sun shone, the coffee and carrot cake flowed, and I relaxed. It's fair to say I loved every second. Ruth is a wonderfully engaging teacher and very interesting person to chew the fat with. Highly recommend. "

"Good day out - My only moan is that there is nothing road side to let you know that you have to drive into the entrance of a Care home with electric gates. I had an interesting drive up a road that went a long way up (next door) and met some nice cows and lambs that turned out to be nothing to do with the course! "

Sculpt IT - Ruth Wheeler Art responded:

"I am sorry that it wasn't clear to you . I will make sure that I let people know about the electric gates. I hope that you had a good day out and was happy with what you made. It was lovely to meet you.."

Tony reviewed: Relief Wood Carving Art

"Excellent course, with a selection of wood planks to choose from and patterns available. We were only 3, plus 3 pyrographers, so plenty of help. Three hours of carving produced a passable relief image."

"Really pleased that you enjoyed it. "

Dan Hughes reviewed: Relief Wood Carving Art

"We had an absolutely brilliant day attending the relief woodcarving course with Ruth. She was friendly and informative and really helped us get the best out of our chosen designs. We also loved the setting; what lovely surroundings to learn in (we were blessed with an unseasonably warm October day which was lucky!) It was really nice to share the day with two other small groups doing pyrography and soapstone carving - we all very much enjoyed checking out how each other was getting on and it made me want to go back and do soapstone carving myself!!!"

Peter J reviewed: An Introduction to Pyrography Wood Art with Ruth Wheeler

"A stimulating day, with all necessary equipment provided and guidance given. A thoroughly enjoyable experience in an idyllic rural woodland environment. one's pleasure marred only by the weather conditions, the course taking place either in the open air or in default under the cover of an open-sided shed."

Alan Martin reviewed: An Introduction to Pyrography Wood Art with Ruth Wheeler

"A great experience that improved my skills and introduced me to new techniques. A very relaxed and sociable atmosphere in a wonderful setting that all helped the learning process. Enjoyed the company, the exchange of information and the sharing of experiences with the others on the course. Ruth introduced us to the use of the equipment, gave us help and advice and inspired us with the collection of work on show. Ruth was there to answer questions and provide instruction whenever it was needed. I came away at the end of the course with new skills, a piece of work that I am very happy with and a determination to attend another of Ruth's courses."

Sculpt IT - Ruth Wheeler Art responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Alan. I really enjoyed meeting you and the others. I learnt a few new things too. I hope to see you again to exchange creative processes."

"We attended Ruth’s pyrography workshop yesterday and cannot recommend her enough! A beautiful setting,, tranquil and peaceful with Ruth’s relaxed approach all made for the most amazing day.

Sue reviewed: An Introduction to Pyrography Wood Art with Ruth Wheeler

"A lovely day learning with Ruth! It was really good to be able to use my own pyrography machine and get some great advice. Ruth even made me a new tip to use. Small pieces of wood are provided for you to practice on at the beginning and then you are able to choose from larger pieces of wood to create a bigger bit of artwork. (To be honest, I think Ruth should charge a little extra for some of the largest ones!) It was a superb setting and really lovely to work outside too. Certainly an inspirational day. ?"

Indra reviewed: An Introduction to Pyrography Wood Art with Ruth Wheeler

"Ruth is lovely and a brilliant teacher. She made it simple and we all learned a lot. We had plenty of time to practise and we all made some pieces to be proud of. I am inspired to take pyrography up now as a hobby as I will have a good idea of what I need and how to go about it. The setting was so nice, smashing to work outside, and there was coffee/tea and cake too! Thank you Ruth x"

Jules reviewed: An Introduction to Pyrography Wood Art with Ruth Wheeler

"I loved my course with Ruth yesterday. It was a wonderful introduction to pyrography and very rewarding to get `hands-on' very quickly, learn general techniques of wood burning patterns and produce a couple of pieces to take home. I will definitely continue to learn and practice further. A great day out and a lovely mindful learning experience :)"
