I thoroughly enjoyed the course. We started with a chunk of tree branch and ended up with a very attractive and unusual pot. Mike really knows his stuff and has a good balance between keeping a close eye on what we're doing while letting us get on with it and try different skills.
This was a really lovely two days at Hanbury Hall. My wife bought this for me as a birthday present, so I didn't really have any agenda, just enjoyed getting lost in the wood carving experience. I had never done this before, but Geraint was a knowledgeable and sympathetic tutor, and guided us through the course. I managed to produce a passable result, if not up to Michelangelo or Bernini standard. Geraint suggested I burn it afterwards (a finishing technique not a comment on my work!) which has given it a very nice look. Will need a few months for my fingers and back to go back to normal I expect, (despite plenty of coffee and lunch breaks) but well worth the effort!
Absolutely wonderful! I was traveling from the US for a conference at Oxford and stumbled upon this class. It was the highlight of my trip! April is so kind, patient and enjoyable to talk with. She’s a wonderful teacher and her workshop with the seating outside is lovely. Can’t recommend the class enough!
