I really enjoyed the weekend, despite some unkind weather. A totally new and refreshing experience, working with stone for the first time (in a former prison yard, appropriately). Under Sebastian's friendly and unhurried guidance we were supported, encouraged and advised, never lectured; he wanted us to experiment with the tools and techniques with total freedom as to the outcome. I...
This is the second weekend course I have attended at Charlotte’s studio and I enjoyed it just as much as the first.
Charlotte is an excellent tutor fully explaining all the processes involved and the use of all the tools and equipment before letting you get on with it.
I was very pleased with how my copper bowl turned out...
What a great session with Colin, all the other reviews have said what I wanted to say. I had the pleasure of a full day of tuition under Colin's expert eye in the comfort of my own workshop, this was great as I was being taught using my lathe and tools. At the end of the session I had the...
I had a wonderful experience on the course. Heather was very friendly (with a lovely slice of cake and cup of tea) and super knowledgable. She looked at our ‘inspiration’ pictures and worked with us to make them come ‘alive’ in felt as closely or loosely as we wished. She’s a wealth of information and I would love to take...
A very good interesting course, exactly what I wanted. Kate is extremely patient and clear in her teaching including the safety aspect of all the equipment. I am very pleased with the pendant and ring necklace I made having had no previous experience. I shall enrol in a further course.
Thank you Jack for an enjoyable and memorable day on Sunday. Our family of 4 booked a One-Day throwing course with Jack in his spacious, light and airy studio. We were well-instructed with demonstrations and patient guidance, and were so proud of our finished pieces. It was a great introduction to throwing on the wheel and immensely satisfying to create...
Iain was brilliant, a great day and with no knowledge at the start went away with something worth showing people. Really enjoyable and the day was laid perfectly with the right amount of instruction. Would (and have) recommend it to anyone.
Well one day in i would not hesitate in recommending this course to anyone! What a great day we had. Graham is knowledgeable, charming and a great teacher. I came away with a beautiful bowl on my first day, however my partner has something more resembling a frisbee! We have also agreed to adopt a hedgehog.... who would have thought...
I attended the introduction to green wood furniture making course in March 2019 and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Peter has a talent not only for the creative design and manufacture of his furniture pieces, but also for inspiring and encouraging others to “have a go” and successfully teaching the techniques needed to achieve a finished article in 2...
