"I did the Level one course over the last two weekends and thoroughly enjoyed it. I did find it challenging on occasion, but Jenny was always there with a demonstration and helpful advice to facilitate the learning process. I am delighted with the toolbox I made, and will definitely be returning in January for the level 2 course."

Rosanna Mann reviewed: Upholstered furniture Level 1 - The Storage Footstool

"I had a fantastic time doing the Storage Footstool course. Having wanted to try both upholstery and carpentry for some time it was the perfect introduction to both. Was also really impressed with the care taken to use environmentally friendly materials. The course tutor was great - friendly, knowledgeable and able to adapt the course to suit different people's needs. Have learnt a load of new skills and ended up with a footstool that is far more stylish and sturdy than I ever imagined I could build!"

"Brilliant course. Jenny is a great teacher who was very helpful and patient with me - a complete novice! The course allows you to work at your own pace, while still being guided every step of the way. Being instructed how to correctly use basic tools such as saw, chisel, plane is fantastic and just what I needed to know. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be signing up to some more courses soon."

"Hi, I really enjoyed the course. We gained confidence using woodworking tools such as chisel, block plain, saw and many more. I liked working on a work bench, it makes a difference. Jenny, the tutor, is very patient and happy to guide your every step in the workshop. :)"
