It has taken me 15 years but I finally committed to making my first chair. I became more aware and interested in chairmaking after I attended The International Chair Symposium at Westonbirt Arboretum way back in 2004 (what a grand title - it was a lot of different chairs in large marquees with everso clever makers discussing their skills and...
I bought this as a present for my husband, Kevin. We both had a great time. The location makes for a special setting to learn wood carving.
Mark was very good and very generous with his knowledge. He was patient throughout and ensured everyone had something resembling a spoon at the end of the day.
There was something very restful...
I thoroughly enjoyed my beginners session. I produced three pieces to take home and tried different techniques in a small class so had lots of individual attention. Jane, with her passion for pyrography, has inspired me to carry on and I look forward to going back to learn more. The scones were lovely too!
I had a brilliant day and can't recommend this enough.
Mark and Christina are great hosts. You learn so much in a fantastic setting. Mark knows his stuff and passes it on in a very relaxed but informed way.
Lunch was brilliant too. I loved it. If you've any interest in this kind of thing just book it. You won't...
My friend and I really enjoyed the resin flower course today. Abi and Melody were fun, provided tasty treats, and gave good instruction. Something a bit different and value for money. Highly recommended!

Richard was a very patient...
My daughter and I had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Sara is an excellent tutor, both informative and attentive. It was a lovely opportunity to try a variety of techniques and we would definitely recommend the workshop.
Oliver is a very dedicated and knowledgable professional with whom I had the pleasure to work and train for a whole week in July 2019. I highly recommend this course to professionally trained furniture conservators like myself as this insight into the craft sheds light onto the manufacturing process of wood polishing. I felt extremely welcome and Oliver was very...
A brilliant day, I wanted to create some ideas for printing on fabric with a view to making a few home accessories. Lucy provided some great equipment and helped me to start designing my ideas. It’s a fun and creative space and the lovely cake and lunch was a real treat. I left feeling very inspired and looking forward to...
An excellent day out, well hosted by Sue, who is an excellent tutor. I learned so much and am now looking forward to putting my new skills to use. Highly recommended.
