Reviews
It was an awesome day! Andy and Mary are such a lovely couple and made me feel very welcome.
The experience just made me smile inside and out all day. I would recommend this to anyone.
A group of us spent the day letter carving with Andy. The tools used and how to sharpen them were demonstrated whilst we honed our skills. The first task was carving a variety of letters; some more difficult than others, with plenty of support along the way. He has a well equipped workshop nestled in the beautiful county of Wiltshire. Andy has a wealth of knowledge and many useful techniques. Such a welcoming place and genuine people. No shortage of tea and bakes. Thank you again.
