Chris Moore reviewed: Women's Woodwork Workshop

"Went to Glenmedini yesterday for this women’s carpentry course…. a brilliant day. Jess is a great teacher and I learnt so much, including that I have been using a saw wring for about 50 years!! All of the tools and techniques were explained and demonstrated very clearly and we then put it all into practice building something to take home. I chose to make a window herb box…. it’s not perfect as I still need to work on my skills but I am very proud of it. Thanks for such a good day Jess"

Glanmedeni Ltd responded:

"I'm so pleased that you found the day useful and learned how to use a saw correctly! Keep practising! x"

Becky Dowle reviewed: Women's Woodwork Workshop

"I thoroughly enjoyed this course with Jess. There were 6 of us in total and we all had the attention we needed to be able to feel confident working our projects. The environment was excellent with everything we needed at hand (plus extras in the form of waffles!!!). The pace was just right and we all chose and created the items we wanted. I am thrilled with my stool and proud of all achieved. I returned home bursting with information to share and factoids about saws, measuring tapes and so much more! Thank you so much Jess it was exceptional !!! I hope to see you again. "

Glanmedeni Ltd responded:

"So lovely to meet you - what a fun day we had and congratulations on a terrific stool! Come back soon. x"

Simone S reviewed: Women's Woodwork Workshop

"I had such a brilliant day at Jess's Women's Woodwork Workshop. The setting was relaxed and welcoming, and Jess made everyone feel at ease straight away. She explained the tools and techniques clearly, with a strong focus on safety, and then gave us plenty of hands-on time to put everything into practice. We all worked on the same project, which was a great way to learn step by step together. Jess was patient, encouraging, and always ready with helpful guidance whenever anyone needed it. By the end of the day I not only had a sturdy finished piece to take home, but also the confidence to start thinking about tackling more projects on my own. The workshop was really well organised, with all tools and materials provided, and the endless supply of tea, coffee, and biscuits kept everyone going. I'd highly recommend it to anyone curious about woodworking, whether you're a complete beginner or just want to build a bit of confidence - and I'm already looking forward to going back for the more advanced workshop. "

Glanmedeni Ltd responded:

"It was lovely to meet you Simone, I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the day and look forward to seeing you again. Make a start on building something yourself, it really helps to keep practising!"

"Thank you Jess for a wonderful day, learning new skills in a fab setting. You really are an inspirational tutor. I have come away keen to learn and make more items from wood. Indeed, a second window box is already in the offing! If you want a day to yourself, in the company of lovely women, then treat yourself to a workshop with Jess. "

Ailsa reviewed: Women's Woodwork Workshop

"The course was so well organised. Jess had all the equipment required and gave excellent simple instructions that gave us confidence to carry out each stage of our project. From a plank of wood we all produced beautifully items. I am thrilled with my bird box and will be putting up in my garden this week. He’s was so calm and welcoming and the whole day although busy was carried out in an atmosphere of calm. I would love to go again and inspired to try to make more out of wood. I would recommend anyone to have a go and attend a course. Thanks Jess for a fantastic experience. "

Glanmedeni Ltd responded:

"It was lovely to meet you Ailsa, such a lovely day in the sunshine. You did a brilliant job on your birdbox, keep experimenting with making other things and come back and have another go at something here soon! x"

Pat Codd reviewed: Women's Woodwork Workshop

"I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I have always felt slightly robbed, I attended a girls grammar school in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. We were channelled into needlework and cookery, not woodwork! This course popped up and I thought it looked exactly what I’d been looking for. I was not disappointed, it was informative, educational, hands on and great fun. Jess is very patient and constructive with her advice and has a good sense of humour, too. A great day and I am glad I attended. Thanks, Jess and thanks to the other ladies for friendly support. I’ll be back, by the way I can cook but am still useless at anything to do with a sewing needle. 😀"

Glanmedeni Ltd responded:

"It was lovely to meet you Pat. Thank you for the lovely review and look forward to seeing you again soon. x"

Amanda Davies reviewed: Women's Woodwork Workshop

"Had an absolute brilliant day with the lovely Jess in her workshop in beautiful surroundings. Jess is a brilliant teacher, very patient, friendly, and made everyone feel at ease. Everything was explained simply, with lots of good tips. As an absolute beginner of woodworking, and zero knowledge on how to use a power tool I came away not only with a beautiful usable wooden tray, but also the confidence to do more projects. Will definitely be back. "

Glanmedeni Ltd responded:

"It was lovely to meet you Amanda, you all did so well with your projects! Hope to see you again soon. x"

Diane Morris reviewed: Women's Woodwork Workshop

"I totally agree with Nia's review, it was such a fantastic experience, creating something I could never have learned on my own. Jess is a wonderful teacher, so patient and so inspiring. I will definitely be booking again very soon, I highly recommend this course to all you women out there, it's so empowering learning a new skill and creating something useful to take home. It's an absolute must, thank you to my lovely daughters for the gift and to Jess for her patience and expertise, making it a most memorable day 😀"

Glanmedeni Ltd responded:

"Thanks Diane, so pleased you enjoyed the day. It was lovely meeting you all and what a great gift from the girls! Hope to see you all again soon - lots more projects to make! xx"

Nia Morris reviewed: Women's Woodwork Workshop

"Oh my gosh! WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! My mother, my sister and I went to do this as a Mother’s Day gift after my mother had mentioned she’d heard about courses you could do in woodworking near West Wales. My sister and I have absolutely zero idea on anything wood, anything tool, anything DYI and my mams experience is grab a saw and hope for the best haha. Straight away as soon as we turned up there was a great vibe. Jess is FANTASTIC. Super lovely, super friendly and put everyone at ease making us feel confident to be able to create something cool. Lots of choices of things to make, hard decision but don’t worry I’m sure we will be back again to make something different! It was a really easygoing atmosphere, could pop over to the kitchen to grab a cuppa whenever, and there was the added bonus of biccies and waffles provided by Jess too! I could go on and on, but all that needs to be said is IT'S AMAZING. So go and do it people! And while you’re at it, stay at the cottage that is there too which looks absolutely fabulous! Beautiful place, only 10 mins from the beach! "

Glanmedeni Ltd responded:

"It was an absolute pleasure to have you all on the course yesterday Nia - thank you so much for coming and for making it such a fun and enjoyable day! You all did so well with your projects, I can't wait to see what you make next time! xx"

Eluned Parrott reviewed: Women's Woodwork Workshop

"Had an amazing day with Jess learning how to use the tools and create a lovely tray. Really proud of the finished product because I never thought I’d be able to make something so lovely. The setting in west Wales is in a beautiful part of the world so I made a weekend of it and visited the countryside nearby. The tutor is really patient and helpful and has come up with a selection of really lovely things to choose to make. I’ll definitely try to come back for another session. I feel I’ve learned so much. Really inspired. Thank you!"

Glanmedeni Ltd responded:

"Lovely to meet you Eluned, your tray was superb! Do come and see me again soon and have a go at another project. The list is expanding all the time! "

Sonia Blakeley reviewed: Women's Woodwork Workshop

"Great course and a lovely space to work in! Jessamy is a wonderful teacher - she infuses confidence building with abounding and inspirational creative positivity. She is also very generous and patient with her time in supporting her students who have no practical experience of woodworking, as she was with my daughter."

Glanmedeni Ltd responded:

"It was a wonderful day - so lovely to meet you both. Come back and see me again soon - more projects await!! xx"

Rhian reviewed: Women's Woodwork Workshop

"I booked this course to upskill myself from zero woodwork skills to help a renovation project and honestly from the first moment I met Jess and entered her beautiful workshop, I felt at ease. Everything was explained simply, with lots of help and guidance when needed, also enriched with laughter, tea and waffles! I was quite overwhelmed even with the sawing, but with encouragement from Jess and all the other ladies, my confidence grew and I felt on top of the world! Highly recommend to women of all generations, you will not regret it and I shall be back shortly! Thank you so much Jess! X "

Glanmedeni Ltd responded:

"It was lovely to meet you Rhian and to hear how much you gained from the course. Good luck with the renovations! Come back soon and keep practising."
