Don Parkman reviewed: Wood turning courses

"I want to thank George and Sue for an inspiring day in Burnham-on-Sea. George is a great teacher; he's so patient and full of encouragement and I really felt a great sense of achievement at the end of the day. I could soon see that many of the 'You Tube videos' I had been watching were leading me in completely the wrong direction and I'm glad to say that George was able to put me right. Thank you to Sue who kept us well fed, and supplied with as many cups of tea as we could manage. My wife was delighted with the bowl I made and is making a list of other items she would like!"

Pippa Wilson reviewed: Jane's Nice & Easy Crochet Workshops

"I concur with everything Loraine has posted above. Anyone wanting to learn crochet couldn't find a better teacher than Jane! She is a very friendly, patient and kind lady. I'm at a stage where I can get on with projects on my own, but I know Jane is on the other end of the phone if I get stuck! Pippa"

Pam Ashcombe reviewed: Jane's Nice & Easy Crochet Workshops

"Jane's classes are great! She asks what projects we are thinking of doing and sometimes actually starts the project herself just for us to see how the project will look! I am working through a number of different stitches in order to have a catalogue making it easy to refer back for different projects. All in all Jane is a great teacher, kind, enthusiastic and is very interested in everyone's projects. Good attributes for teaching crochet I think!"

lee reviewed: Introduction to Spoon Carving

"Had a great day with Chris, spoon carving in his woods. I felt welcome and at ease, with Chris being a very friendly guy. I learned some very useful techniques and gained some more ideas on what can be achieved, with various tools and wood. Chris has also opened my eyes up to what other types of woodland craftwork that can be learned/enjoyed. A really enjoyable and informative day, that I would recommend to anyone interested in woodland crafts."

Elaine Carpenter reviewed: Beginners Hand spinning - 'From fleece to fibre’ - at All in a Spin

"What a wonderful day. Dunja imparts her knowledge in a way that makes it interesting and enjoyable and you learn such a lot without really realising it. The setting is beautiful and Dunja and Brian are very welcoming. This was a birthday treat for my sister and we spent a lovely relaxing day together learning new skills. Everything you need to get started is available to buy should you wish to and you come away creatively inspired. Thank you Dunja and Brian."

Loraine reviewed: Jane's Nice & Easy Crochet Workshops

"As a competent knitter, I was envious of those who could crochet, until one day I met a lady who raved about Jane. I booked myself a 1:1 starter session and haven't looked back! I first met Jane for the first time 2 1/2 years ago and following the starter session, joined a 6-week beginners workshop, which turned into an intermediate group. I can thoroughly recommend Jane's sessions, whether 1:1 or small group and whether you are a complete beginner or need to refresh you skills. Jane tailors her style and content to the needs of her students and provides demonstrations of various stitches to help continuous improvement and the ability to read patterns. Jane is incredibly patient, talented and knowledgable as well as a truly lovely lady."

Mark Bell reviewed: 5 Week Intermediate/Advanced Jewellery Making Class at Jewellery Workshop Leeds

"This course was fantastic. Continuing on fluently from the beginners course, Bernard coaches you through more advanced techniques with his usual patient and affable manner. Again the course is very hands on with most of your time spent over a huge vice, soldering station or jewellers bench. Highly recommended to those who want to go one step further along the road of jewellery making. Awesome!"

Britt reviewed: Jane's Nice & Easy Crochet Workshops

"I love Jane's crochet classes. They are small and intimate. Jane gives a lot of individual attention and help on whatever project you are working on. She also has a lot of patterns to start you off if you don't have anything."

Dan Smith reviewed: 5 Week Intermediate/Advanced Jewellery Making Class at Jewellery Workshop Leeds

"In this course things step up a gear and you get into some more advanced techniques which Bernard guides you through with his wealth of experience and gentle but efficient manner. By the end of this course I was making jewellery that I would happily good money for. With the added bonus of designing it myself so it was exactly what I wanted."

Dan Smith reviewed: 6 wk Mixed Level Jewellery Making at Jewellery Workshop Leeds

"Bernard and Jane are really nice - helpful and very knowledgable with a wealth of experience which they are willing to share. The workshop is well equipped and designed so you always have space to work regardless of class size. The atmosphere of the classes is relaxed, creative and supportive but with Bernard and Jane leading it it wouldn't be anything else. The cost of this course is a total bargain, if you are thinking of doing this, just stop thinking now and get it done or you'll regret it."

Dave Curno reviewed: Green Wood Creative Seating - 6 Day Course in South Devon

"What a great course, so much learnt about green woodworking and the techniques needed to build a wide variety of furniture. At the start of the week the idea of producing a piece of furniture can seem daunting but Peter encourages and guides you in the right direction in his own unassuming manner. The tools and instruction are top quality and by the end of the six days you will have created a unique seat of your very own. Anyone can do this course and will find it relaxing, absorbing and totally satisfying. Very highly recommended."

Paul Bloxham reviewed: Wood turning courses in the Midlands

"My wife bought me a day with Mark as a present. I bought a lathe six months ago but having last operated one at school 40+ years ago I had neither the confidence or the knowledge with which to use it! Have to say I cannot believe how much Mark taught me in a day. In a structured way he covered all areas in the right level of detail for me and in a style that was easy to relate to. Mark's workshop is well equipped and importantly there was plenty of hands on use of the lathe as well as tool sharpening and finishing. Throughout the the day there was a lot's of practical and money saving tips which are so important to the beginner. Overall I had a great day and went away having learnt far more than I expected to. Also having gained in confidence and with some of Mark's enthusiasm having rubbed off. Would definitely recommend Mark and hope to be back for more!"
