Jen reviewed: Half day woodturning experience for 2

"My husband and I attended a half-day wood turning workshop to celebrate our 5th (wooden) wedding anniversary, and it was absolutely brilliant! The workshop was led by Chris, who was an exceptional tutor. His extensive knowledge and encouraging demeanor made the experience both educational and enjoyable. As complete novices, the workshop setup was perfect, providing everything we needed to catch the wood turning bug. Chris guided us through each step with patience and expertise, ensuring we felt confident and capable. By the end of the day, we had crafted two beautiful bowls, a tangible reminder of a fantastic experience. We can't recommend this workshop enough—it's a must-try for anyone interested in wood turning. Thank you, Chris, for making our anniversary so special!"

Chris Parker Woodturner responded:

"Jen & David It was an absolute pleasure to have you both in my workshop. Really glad I could contribute to your special day. Happy anniversary 🎉 Chris "

Sarah reviewed: A woodturning taster for 2 people.

"We turned up an hour early due to our calendar not recognising the clock change, but Chris happily took us on. Really enjoyed this taster session making a pestle each. Chris has lots of patience and safety is priority. Would recommend to anyone wanting to have a try at this amazing skill. Thank you. "

Chris Parker Woodturner responded:

"Hi Sarah, Really glad you both enjoyed the taster, it was great to introduce you both to our fantastic craft. The pestle were great . Chris "
