Anna reviewed: Beginners DIY & Home Maintenance Workshop in Warrington, Cheshire (1 Day)

"I had such a fun day on the DIY and home maintenance workshop. Jo is lovely. Very welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. It was a nice small group of 4 so it was very easy to get one on one time.

I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone."

Highly recommended for anyone interested in metalworking and in particular coppersmithing."

alison reviewed: Spoon Carving Taster Session

"I never thought that a day spent making a wooden spoon would be quite so interesting and fun. Mike is a very encouraging tutor not only for the practical aspects of learning to carve but plenty of information about materials, design, suitability of different timbers etc. Mike is also very knowlegeable about natural history making the most of the lovely woodland setting just above Otley. I attended the course with 2 friends but is a great activity to book solo."
