"Greg is a man who is a master of his art, and possesses that rare ability of being able to teach that skill to others in a relaxed and confident manner. I would highly recommend the course to anyone considering turning, and I had a great 2 days. Last but not least, he makes good soup and bakes good bread! Will certainly go back for further tuition in the future."

"Greg is a legend!! I've never seen someone so passionate and into their scene as him. My son and I spent yesterday with him in his Surrey workshop and came out with a decent basic knowledge of lathe working and above all, safety AND a fantastic bowl, we each made! If you're thinking of getting into this or looking to improve your knowledge and skills to much higher levels, then Greg is your man. Great guy, fun day! We'll be back. Thank you!!"

"An excellent two days introductory course covering a lot of ground with a small class of only two allowing plenty of individual attention. The course included both spindle moulding, bowl turning and advice on sharpening and finishing. I came away with two finished items. Even got picked up from the station on a particularly wet morning ..."

"Greg is a natural teacher, which means he imparts knowledge clearly and he does so with patience. I made a lot more progress in the two days than I had expected and I was very pleased with the two pieces - candle-stick and a bowl - that I produced. I would be delighted to return for one of the more advanced courses when I've built up some experience with the skills I have learnt. I would recommend the course to anyone starting out in woodturning."

"I am hugely grateful to Gregory Moreton for giving me the woordturning bug! His teaching is excellent and very accommodating and he inspired me to look forward to 'retirement' which will definitely include woodturning. 2 of the most worthwhile and helpful days I can remember.Great facilities with loads of common sense as well! Keep up the good work, Gregory!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed my two days with Gregory, learning the theory and techniques of woodturning. A brilliant course, taught in a relaxed environment, great hospitality and I'm really pleased with what I managed to produce too! I would definitely recommend booking this course if you want to learn how to turn wood; if I can do it, anyone can! I can't wait to experiment and put what I have learnt into practice now."

"Had an amazing two days with Gregory. He was a great teacher who allowed you to progress at your own pace and never took over. We spent over 95% of the time at the lathe which was great and we both couldn't believe the pieces we managed to produce. We had some lovely lunches and a great time. Highly recommend."

"Gregory’s two day introduction gives an excellent introduction to the basics of wood turning. The course was highly informative and I left with two nice pieces which were much better than I expected from my first taste of wood turning. I certainly intend to return for a follow up course."

"Thank you Greg for an excellent introduction to the art of wood turning. It was a very enjoyable and rewarding couple of days. I did not expect beforehand to be able to produce two beautiful pieces of work during that time (with considerable help and patience from Greg!)."

Mike & Colin Keyworth reviewed: An introduction to wood turning with Gregory Moreton (2 Days)

"An extremely useful, interesting and informative 2 days spent with Greg. I had absolutely no experience of wood turning but by the end of the two days, I felt that I had learnt enough to enable me to progress with woodturning as a hobby. Although my son possesses a lathe and is already fairly skilled, he still benefitted hugely from the 2 days with Greg. A highly recommended course for any skill level. We will no doubt be returning in the future."

"A fantastic beginners course which I cannot recommend highly enough. I had inherited a lathe and tools a couple of years ago but had not been able to produce much but after 2 days with Gregory I feel confident and inspired. Gregory shared his knowledge of, and passion for woodturning in a way that made it very easy to learn and I came away with two very professional pieces. Oh, and the lunch was pretty good too. Many thanks, Gregory."

"Just spent the most fabulous 2 days with Gregory in considerably improving my woodturning skills. Gregory was very patient and asked me what I wanted to get out of the course and tailored it to suit me. I practiced and practiced with help from Gregory, but I was doing the work. We had some chats as well on various subjects including a shared other hobby we both have. I can honestly say the course was worth every penny, Gregory helped me sharpen my tools and gave good advice on what I can change when I get back home to make the job easier and quicker. I was also introduced to power sanding, which makes life a lot easier. Gregory's style, knowledge and enthusiasm is a winning combination. I would thoroughly recommend this course to beginners and even those with some practice under their belts, you wont regret it. Thanks Gregory"

Ian Thomson reviewed: An introduction to wood turning with Gregory Moreton (2 Days)

"An excellent two days spent with a friend, learning wood turning pretty much from scratch. Greg was very good at explaining techniques and also very patient when we struggled to get things right! The course gave us a great understanding of the basics of wood turning, which with practice, can be built upon. Greg was very generous in sharing his knowledge, giving us lots of helpful tips. He also prepared and gave us two beautiful pieces of wood, with which we were just about able to make a couple of very special bowls to take home with us. The family were impressed! Many thanks for a tiring, but very enjoyable, couple of days."

Marcus Purse reviewed: An introduction to wood turning with Gregory Moreton (2 Days)

"This course is an excellent introduction to wood turning. From knowing nothing about it at the start I was able to produce 3 professional looking pieces by the end of it. Gregory was a very good teacher and found the right balance between showing us what to do and letting us try things for ourselves. Extremely happy with the progress I made during the course and very pleased with the pieces I managed to produce over the two days. I'd recommend this to anyone. Thank you Gregory!"

"Gregory was a patient and skilled teacher. He never 'took over' and let us progress at our own pace. We were truly thrilled with the pieces we made. We covered so much in two days it was extraordinary. I went with my husband but any pair could do this with Gregory - friends, mum and son, anyone. My husband enjoyed the technical details and my lack of experience with tools and machinery made absolutely not difference. Great two days."

"Two brilliant days...a great experience. Clear instructions, a relaxed teaching style, and many good tips helped me to produce a couple of pieces that even impressed my kids! The home made bread and soup on a cold day was also most welcome! Thanks again Greg"

"The best and most effective days that I've spent in a craft course. Thanks to Greg! Such an excellent and patient teacher who is very enthusiastic and loves to transfer knowledge to his students. You'll do the work on the lathe and Greg motivates his students to do so. I had a lot of fun and learnt a lot in 2 days and the best part is leaving with a beautiful candle stick and a breath taking bowl of cherry wood from Claygate. So proud and would get back to Greg for further courses , highly recommended!"

"An excellent introductory course - spent almost all the time on the lathe, and got far further than I had expected in two days as a complete beginner. Lots of practical tips and ideas from Greg, as well as lots of fun"
