Mara reviewed: Weave a Little Bark Bag or Basket

"A really lovely course. Justine introduced and explained the process in detail and was right there for any questions. We were allowed to be totally creative with some wonderful materials all pre-prepared ready for us. It was so much fun and a totally new craft for me. I will definitely be trying it again soon. Thank you 🙏😊"

sam lloyd-smith reviewed: Woodcraft Weekend

"I had a brilliant weekend with Neil, immersed in all things woody. It was really well planned and delivered and he held the space well. I would recommend him and any of his courses. I'm going to go spend lots of money on tools and books now!"

Denmark Farm Conservation Centre responded:

"Many thanks Sam, it was good to meet you and we're delighted that you enjoyed the course. We hope that you are feeling better and sorry you had to miss the final day. Hope to see you again soon. Best wishes. Mara"

RLKF reviewed: Woodcraft Weekend

"I had a great time on the shrink pot making course. Neil & Jayne are such lovely people, great teachers, calm and relaxed. There was no pressure for everyone to be at the same stage, everything was explained clearly and repeated when needed. The venue is lovely, Mara is very welcoming and carving around a campfire in such a peaceful space is heavenly. I would highly recommend going on any of their courses and I am very happy with my shrink pot and the knowledge to make more :)"

Denmark Farm Conservation Centre responded:

"Thank you for joining us on this course Ryan, so happy that you enjoyed everything. Hope to see you very soon. Best wishes. Mara"
