Anna L Nichols Furniture reviews

Moira reviewed: Wood turning - One day course

"Excellent experience with Anna Nichols. I attended with my partner Tom. We had done some woodwork before but not turning. She had a very pleasant and patient manner. Her instructions were clear and perfectly paced. Really pleased with what we achieved and learned. Overall excellent value. I would certainly return for another course and have no hesitation in recommending this experience."

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Glad you both enjoyed the day"

Eli Appleby-Donald reviewed: Wood turning - One day course

"Wow What an absolutely fantastic day - we had so much fun and Anna is such a friendly and relaxed teacher. I can’t believe we made those gorgeous bowls! I’m hooked…. I want to do more courses now. Seriously, absolutely recommend it. Because the groups are so small, you get lots of 1-2-1 tuition but you never feel like teacher is watching. I learned so much."

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Awesome glad you had a good day turning. Happy future turning "

Ann Andrews reviewed: Wood turning - 2 hour taster session

"I really enjoyed the wood turning taster session. It was great to have one to one attention, getting to know the machine and tools. Anna's guidance and top tips on what to do, and what not to do will stay with me whilst I practice and will return for the bowl turning in time. In the meantime I shall proudly use my bottle stop. Thanks Anna. "

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Glad to hear you had a good time. Can’t wait to see your new turnings in the future "

Louise Cunningham reviewed: Wood turning - Two day course

"I had a great two days learning to woodturn for the very first time with Anna. She was extremely patient and encouraging with this nervous newbie, and I managed to come away with a lovely 3 legged stool and an interest in wanting to do some more now I have a little knowledge. Would highly recommend this course."

Morag reviewed: Wood turning - One day course

"What an experience! Anna explained everything step by step because, as a complete beginner, I needed that. The day went quickly. Step by step Anna demonstrated, then after each step, it was my turn. I was guided unobtrusively, while being allowed to get a feel for the tools and wood. The one to one tuition, meant it all went at my pace, and I did not feel I was keeping others back. Anna is so patient, reassuring, clearly loves her profession and made me feel relaxed. I was so proud of my finished bowl! I hope to be able to take part in more Woodturning classes run by Anna, and even feel I would enjoy being part of a small group for beginners. "

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Glad you had a good time "

Simon Platts reviewed: Wood turning - One day course

"Well worth the money! Originally I was going to buy a lathe and plod away myself in a self-taught fashion from day 1. I'm glad I didn't as I now realise I could've wasted a whole load of time and money. Great practical training but also great advice on equipment, tools etc"

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Great and good luck with your little product you're making"

"Brilliant experience! I have had a great two days of immersive tutoring by Anna, who is a great teacher with a wealth of experience in the industry. The two days were filled with lots of time on the lathe supported by Anna who readily gave her advice and guidance in an informal and very professional way. Highly recommend this course to anyone interested in wood turning. It’ll give you the bug!!!!"
