Michael reviewed: Beginners Woodturning

"Good day and an enjoyable experience... As a complete novice, Roger showed me the ropes and helped me along the way to making a very nice and professional looking bowl... Seeing a square of wood turn into a smooth, shiny bowl that is now decorating my home was really satisfying... Cups of tea and a refreshing sandwich lunch provided... I would recommend Roger and his courses for beginner and experienced turners alike... "

Ben & Sandra reviewed: Beginners Woodturning

"The course was a wonderful gift; neither of us had turned anything before. my wife, who had no experience of working with power tools ('Not even a drill') was rather apprehensive. Thanks to Roger's calm and welcoming introduction however we were soon choosing the wood, the design, and getting stuck in to the mounting, turning, sanding and polishing processes aided by industrial quantities of tea and having lots of fun. After the day, slightly tired, we carried away with us a basic insight into the craft and the two best wooden bowls ever made by human beings, together with a glowing sense of achievement. Roger certainly knows the game- thank you so much Roger for keeping a level head and working so hard throughout the day. We weren't even allowed to clean up the mess we had made, which was quite significant I can tell you, and to Mrs. Cutler for the lunch. Also give Tilly a cuddle from Sandra please...."

"An excellent day at Roger Cutler’s Creetown workshop. Roger has a very professional, knowledgeable but relaxed style of conveying the various aspects of woodturning. A really good balance of explanation, demonstration and encouragement helped me to turn a lovely bowl out of a block of wood. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning about woodturning or anyone just wanting to know if woodturning is for them."

"Excellent day with Roger. My husband and I are beginners and wanted to try different things. Roger was very adaptable and worked with us so we got the most of the day. Very good at explaining and demonstrating how to use the tools. Lots of tea as well which always helps! "
