"The day exceeded my expectations on all accounts. Hospitality from Andy, Mary and Angus (the dog) was great and I can’t imagine there’s anything regarding wood turning that Andy doesn’t know. Great examples of. Some amazing projects that have been done and it’s a very inspiring and down to earth workshop and atmosphere. Great delivery of his wealth of knowledge and whilst Andy was on hand for everything, he also gave space to try things without pressure etc. I shall definitely be booking again to further develop the interest I have and learn more. Highly recommend!"

"What a fantastic day. Andy is so friendly and knowledgeable, a real craftsman and able to explain things clearly. I learned so much and developed my practical skills too. I am now putting it into practice on my own lathe - and looking to return very soon to move on in my wood turning journey. I would wholeheartedly recommend this session to anyone. From those wanting to get to grips with a lathe for the first time, up to experienced turners who want to refine a challenging technique - Andy is the master."

Kevin Charles William Woolnough reviewed: Woodturning tuition in Wiltshire

"Had a very enjoyable day with Andy who spent the first hour explaining and demonstrating the use of many wood turning tools and machinery before allowing me some hands on experience in practicing some of the skills he had demonstrated. During the afternoon we made a bowl and this was a great experience to see how this was done and to have the opportunity to see Andy's skill's at their best. Again, I was able to participate at different stages and thrilled to have something to take home. A great day and thank you to Andy, Mary and Angus for being great hosts. Highly recommended to those who may be considering giving it a try."

"Thanks very much for your kind words Kevin Hope to see you again Andy Mary Angus "

The remainder of the time was spent initially practising with the tools and then creating a bowl out of Iroko wood which I loved and am very proud of. Thank you Andy and family"

"Really enjoyed the day and learnt a great deal. I am a complete beginner and Andy taught me the basic skills and how to handle the various tools etc. Ended up making a rather lovely wooden plate and I now have the confidence to start on my own in earnest. I would thoroughly recommend the day to anyone interested."
