James Lee reviewed: Shoe Making course – three day course

"This was a thoroughly enjoyable course, the time flew by and I learnt so much from Nick Cooper whose teaching was excellent. Well worth coming up from Somerset. I would like to do more shoemaking if a 'next stage' course was available."

Emma Catlin reviewed: Wood Carving Course

"I had a fabulous day, it was so absorbing and informative. Much better than I expected it to be! Also, to work in a small group was great - we could get information and specific help with our work and I felt I learned so much. The tutor was very knowledgeable, and it really ignited my enthusiasm, I could have merrily carved away for another few hours! I am a complete new comer to wood carving, but have been trying to source tools and equipment to be able to finish the project I started. I plan to continue if time and space allow. Excellent!!! Thanks Pete!"

Anna Kingsmill-Vellacott reviewed: Basket Making Introductory Course - one day

"Maggie is an inspired teacher able to convey her own enthusiasm for the subject. The course numbers worked beautifully and, even though the day wasn't wonderful weatherwise, I think we all enjoyed it. The small round basket I made has been extremely useful to me for holding bobbins and/or rolags when I spin. It's been very much admired by my fellow craftspeople. I really enjoyed my day and have now booked for the two day course. I do hope there will be more such courses - excellent in every way."
