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!!"

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

Sergey Danilin reviewed: Woodturning 2 Hour Taster Session in Berkshire

"I have taken part in the introduction course delivered by Liz last Sunday (16/08/2025). It was fantastic experience indeed. I enjoyed the course a lot! Liz is a brilliant instructor. It was very clear what to do at every step of our process and enough time was given to accomplish the step. I especially liked the cases when she was guiding my gouge to make a cut correctly, that immediately gave me the feeling of how it should be done. All tools and materials were available for us to use. I also enjoyed friendly and welcoming atmosphere in the work shop. I can highly recommend this course for everyone who wants to start their journey through the wood turning thing. There is something magical and meditative in it, and time just flies by unnoticed when you are at the lathe. The result of my work is below"

Love Heartwood Turning School responded:

"Thank you Sergey. I'm very happy you enjoyed yourself and got so much from the course. You're welcome back anytime."
