Tony Clark reviewed: Woodturning 1 Day Beginners Course in Berkshire

"I attended the course with Liz and found it to be a really great day, despite working with wood for quite a while this was my first try on a Lathe, Liz was really patient with the 4 attendees as we were all at different levels, she explained all of the health and safety and then oversaw us all whilst we attempted to follow her lead. At the end of the day we were all able to take away the bits that we had made, which actually resembled what we had set out to create, i would not hesitate to recommend this experience, it was great!!"

Love Heartwood Turning School responded:

"So pleased you had a good day Tony. If you need any advice with your lathe or tools just get in touch."

"Thank you Kate, so glad you both enjoyed it. I'll definitely be making more cracker and bulb ornaments to your design! "
