Andy Lock reviewed: Woodturning in Devon with Colin Simpson

"Loved the course! Colin is friendly, knowledgeable and, above all, patient! Never thought I would come away from my first time woodturning with a couple of pieces that didn't entirely look like they'd been made by a three-year-old! Had an absolutely great day and would thoroughly recommend Colin's course to anyone looking for an introduction to woodturning."

Devon Wood Crafts responded:

"Thanks for your comments regarding the day Andy. I also enjoyed it. If you have any follow up questions, please get in touch. Regards, Colin"

Martin Hann reviewed: Woodturning in Devon with Colin Simpson

"I did a full day course with Colin, I had done a small amount of wood turning before but I found out that my technique was not quite right, with Colins help he has put me in the right direction. I made a goblet and a bowl so using a lot of different techniques. Colin has had many years of full time experience, he was easy to talk to and I found the whole day a delight. I would fully recommend anybody what ever level you are at to spend a day with Colin. "

Devon Wood Crafts responded:

"Many thanks for this review, Martin. If I can help in the future, please get in touch. Regards, Colin"

Paul Walsh reviewed: Woodturning in Devon with Colin Simpson

"A fantastic day learning a new skill. Having never done any woodturning previously, Colin has a huge amount of experience and he fully explained every part of the process and the reasons why it was done that way. He was very patient with me, even when he had to repeat instructions often in a short space of time. After a great day I was able to take home a lovely turned bowl and an egg cup. I completely loved the whole experience and I now want to continue my learning and practice what I have been taught, but my problem is now finding space to fit the equipment in. I recommend Colin to anyone who wants to try their hand at this amazing skill."

Devon Wood Crafts responded:

"Thanks for this feedback, Paul, it is appreciated. "
