We thoroughly enjoyed our half day glass blowing for 2 with Chew Valley glass. Steve and Chris were very friendly and accommodating, and did a great job in guiding us through the steps of glass blowing. We were given a choice over what item we made and a lot of freedom in the making process, all under the close guidance...

I've now been a spoon carver for just over 2 years. It all started when I went on one of David's courses. I had no idea what would be involved. I started with log of field maple and by the end of the day I walked away with a very presentable spoon. David is for starters a really nice, approachable...

A really enjoyable, relaxing and productive session! The 3 hours flew by, and I was so pleased with the outcome - two pictures which looked surprisingly professional for a first attempt! Pip was welcoming, patient and encouraging, thank you so much.

I attended the course recently with my sister and we both loved it. Pip is such a welcoming host and an excellent tutor. I enjoyed the tea and pastry plus the relaxed kitchen atmosphere. It's a fascinating craft and I'm so pleased with my two framed pictures - they are now proudly displayed in my living room!

I recently had a 1-1 tuition day with Mark through a bursary. Having not had tuition for a few years it was good to recap some basics! Mark was very accomodating and flexible to my needs experimenting with thinly turned green flowers. It is clear how knowledgable Mark is and I went home with lots of notes of tips and...

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and learnt a great deal about beekeeping. It was very suitable for an absolute novice like myself. There were plenty of opportunities to get hands on experience in handling the bees. The tutor was very well informed, provided good support and in current times enabled suitable social distancing measures. I would highly recommend this course...

A very enjoyable experience guided by an excellent tutor in Steve. The course was well paced with plenty of time to develop woodworking skills, with a mix of hand tools and machinery, alongside being able to ask Steve a wide range of questions that he was more than happy to answer. I now have a lovely clock on top of...
