Paul reviewed: Whittling Workshop

"This was my 1st time trying whittling and I loved it. It was organized as a birthday present. Matt was really good at explaining the techniques and made the course a great experience. The only downside was that the 2.5 hours disappeared so quickly. I'd have been happy to sit there all day. I am definitely thinking about booking a day experience on the back of this course. The setting is relaxing and the safety advice was good and practical. This is definitely a hobby that anyone could pick up. Thanks to Matt and Emma for a great course."

Christine Howard reviewed: Whittling Workshop

"I gifted this course to my nephew and brother-in-law for their birthdays. They had a brilliant time! Loved the site and talking to Matt about how he had created it. They described Matt as a kind tutor, clearly explaining many techniques and keeping them safe around some potentially dangerous tools. They are really pleased with what they made and would recommend it to anyone. "

"I very much enjoyed this green woodworking course, great setting in the woods, perfect hosts, great to start the day with the hot drink made over the campfire and biscuits. The woodworking was very enjoyable with great tuition from start to finish, thanks Chris."

"I did this class yesterday and it was lots of fun, I learnt lots about green wood and the different tools to use, I was really pleased with my items I made. Also Matt was a very good teacher, the whole day was really good and especially in a wonderful wood, hoping to go back soon."
