Narni reviewed: Introduction to woodcarving - Spoon Carving Experience

"Wonderful experience if you’re looking to do something different and leave your daily stresses behind for a few hours! Super pleased with what we made, coffee was delish and extra points for having a dog around! Thank you again! "

Richard G reviewed: Introduction to woodcarving - Spoon Carving Experience

"The spoon carving experience was enjoyable and productive. Also addictive. It looks like a new pastime is emerging. Delightful setting at Joy Farms. Hard not to feel inspired in such a creative and rustic environment. The carefully monitored camp fire providing constant supply of coffee and a tasty simmering lunch was a bonus. Adrian was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable tutor who clearly wanted all members of the class to succeed. As a woodworking novice I was chuffed to turn a lump of wood into something resembling a spoon! Great day out."

Alana reviewed: Hand-tied flower arranging experience - Surrey Hills

"A great day, location and setup. Lovely mix of being in the workshop & outdoors by the fire. Thoroughly recommend it, totally different day out."

Sarah Louise reviewed: Beginner Basket Weaving Experience day - Surrey Hills

"My husband and I had an amazing day making baskets. Ellie was a great teacher and having never done it before it was very satisfying seeing my willow weaving become a basket :-) The open air workshop, views of the fields, copse, Lunch and tea by the open fire and bird song really made it a unique experience. A great gift & I'm looking forward to trying other crafts there too."
