Blended Monkey is a husband and wife team. Our studios are based in a small village on the Norfolk/Cambridgeshire border. Our setting provides ample inspiration for our work, and is perfect for our woodturning & pottery courses. Louise (ceramicist) - I studied at the Falmouth School of Art & Design and I am interested in various art forms, design and applied arts. Simon (woodturner) - I love working with wood & exploring its versatility. I'm a member of the AWGB and APTGW.

"Thank you Simon for a wonderful day. I really enjoyed everything, I felt that Simon was really good at explaining and demonstrating wood turning. The lunch was lovely. I really enjoyed using the lathe and was pleased with my bowl. I hope to take wood turning further and can totally recommend this course to anyone who would like to try this. "
