"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!"

"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."

"Introduction to wood carving A very enjoyable experience. Clunie was very personable and professional. She immediately introduced the equipment we were using and how to use it safely. This was a small group which was perfect for allowing Clunie to give individual attention to all those who were there. She was extremely patient and encouraging. Thank you Clunie. "

"A great two hour workshop! Bought this as a gift for my husband. Clunie, the course leader was brilliant and giving us all the instructions we needed to make our first attempts into the swirls of carving. She was very patient and had so much to tell us about the skills she had learnt over the years and showed us some of her amazing work too. "

Laura Borchardt-Hume reviewed: Evening Woodcarving Taster Workshop

"Really enjoyable short course as an intro to woodcarving. Small group, super encouraging and patient tutor and I left buzzing with the sense of possibility (and with a small woodcarving in my pocket). Not something I’d ever thought to do (it was a gift) but so glad I did!"

Clunie Fretton responded:

"Dear Laura, thank you so much for coming on the course and bringing such energy and enthusiasm with you! You were a pleasure to teach and took to working with wood very naturally. I hope to see you again!"
