Sophie reviewed: Introduction to Spoon Carving

"The whole day was phenomenal from start to finish. The way Chris teaches in such a supportive and fun way put all us beginners at ease and enabled us to really enjoy learning this new skill. A lot of thought clearly goes into the day and the lunch was absolutely delicious. We came as a group with many dietary requirements and all of them were taken care of; we were given a delicious feast! Also, the confidence you come away with from the day means you can continue to carve spoons on your own from a block of wood in the garden-this to me is seriously cool! I really would recommend this course to anyone."

Steve Castle reviewed: Blacksmithing, bladesmithing and metal craft

"The one day course was booked for me by my wife as a birthday present. It was a very enjoyable time - Nigel's laid-back style of training helped me to gain a basic understanding of what can be done with some heat and not-so-heavy hammer. Rather than getting us to do small practice exercises, each step in developing your technique led ultimately to some very useful items. The shop and sculpture garden provided ample ideas for projects and are worth a visit in their own right."

Diana Ramsay reviewed: Beginners woodturning course

"Ciaran's woodturning course was excellent. He took us through the safety aspects, introduced us to the tools we would using, and then let us loose on the lathes. Brilliant, hands on learning which resulted in us our first turned items. I was so inspired by the course, that I'm now turning at home on a lathe I bought. I would highly recommend Ciaran's course."

Jo Saunders reviewed: Gelli Printmaking with No5workshops Group Booking

"What an inspiring, fantastic afternoon. I had so much fun and learned oodles about mono and gelli printing. Armi allows you to develop your print with as much or as little help as required. She is passionate about printing and it shows in her work and teaching. I'm utterly thrilled with the pieces I produced and I am looking forward to the Armi's art booklet stitching course. The venue is as equally as inspiring as the course. Design-led, light and airy studio - simply stunning. And, the refreshments.... wow! Home-made cakes – artisan, delectable, moreish!"

David Lea reviewed: Four day intensive beginners woodwork course

"As an absolute beginner in any form of woodworking I thoroughly enjoyed this course and I learnt so much. From understanding how to care for, maintain and use hand tools properly and safely, to building an Ash and Walnut display table using a various array of techniques, all patiently taught by the master craftsman that is Ciarán. His relaxed and encouraging teaching style quickly allayed any fears I had, meaning I could enjoy the course from the very start. I am now working on a few small projects to build more confidence and skill before booking myself on the intermediate course"

Diane Hughes reviewed: Two day leather work course - bag making

"What a fabulous weekend I've just had! I've learnt some new skills in leather craft, made a beautiful hand made leather bag, from an excellent teacher, Jason. Both days were really relaxing as we worked away using the skills he taught us, the time just flew by. After a lovely weekend in the workshop I feel really inspired to make my own bags and cant wait to get my hands on some leather! Thank you Jason for a great weekend and passing on your amazing skills!"

Rebecca Ashley reviewed: Basket making in Norfolk

"This is a brilliant course. Julie was an amazing tutor, so patient and informative. The day is pretty full on but at the end of it you will have made a beautiful basket. The group was quite small which meant that Julie had time to come around to everyone to check that they were doing things properly. Everyone could work at their own pace. I can't praise Julie enough and the homemade cakes were a real bonus! I highly recommend this course."

Andrea Harper reviewed: Beginners candle making workshop - London

"My daughter and her friends had an amazing time making candles at her 10th birthday party. Sarah was very friendly and the girls felt immediately at ease with her. Sarah explained everything really clearly and made the party fun and informative. All of the girls went home with hand decorated party bags to hold the fabulous scented candles they had made, I would recommended Sarah 100% to anyone looking for a slightly different party. Thank you so much Sarah !"

Pamela Mansergh reviewed: Beginning Your Beekeeping - Two Day Beginners Course

"I knew nothing about bees when I attended the Beekeeping Course for Beginners at Mantel Farm early last year after I had been given two hives with colonies! I gained a huge amount of knowledge from these two days and importantly the course was backed up with instructive illustrated notes to which I refer frequently. I would recommend this course to anyone thinking of taking up this interesting and satisfying (sometimes!) hobby."
