Lili reviewed: Evening Woodcarving Taster Workshop

"Introduction to woodcarving was a very enjoyable, super fun taster session. Clunie is very patient, friendly and knowledgeable. She explained everything well and it's a small group, so everyone got individual attention and help. I would definitely go back for another session or a longer course! Thank you Clunie!"

Clunie Fretton responded:

"Thank you Lili! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it. I hope to see you again at another class! Wishing you a relaxing Christmas break in the mean time."

Rosie reviewed: Evening Woodcarving Taster Workshop

"My sister and I really enjoyed our wood carving class with Clunie - it was wonderful. Clunie is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, guiding us through each step with clear instructions and recapping the steps again so we could start afresh. We're excited to use the techniques we learned to create something beautiful. Thank you, Clunie!"

Clunie Fretton responded:

"Thank you Rosie! It was great to have you both join the lesson. I was really impressed by what you made, and you were both so positive and engaged. Good luck with your future carving, and feel free to send me an email if you ever need advice."
