Chris Jeffrey reviewed: Basic woodturning half day

"An excellent session. For something that looks "so easy" online you soon find out it's not but Chris is very patient and a great teacher. Having done this in one session previously I was really keen to be back trying woodturning. It was obvious to Chris some aspects I did struggle with but he was very keen to see what motivated me to try and build on my enthusiasm. There was even tips on how I could continue doing this if I chose. I even experienced a little personal "wobble" during the session, Chris handled this excellently and got me going again - even cutting into his own time to ensure I finished and was still motivated by the end. Thoroughly enjoyed and Chris is an excellent teacher!"

"Hi Chris, Really happy you enjoyed your tuition, your enthusiasm was fantastic & yes a wobble as you say but you came back stronger. All the best with your turning journey. Chris parker "

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 "
