Jo Salter reviewed: Green Wood Chair Making - 6 Day Woodworking Course in South Devon

"This is a brilliant course and I love my chair! It is a busy week of the learning techniques and subtleties that can only be passed on by one with experience which Peter and Toby have in abundance. I enjoyed every minute of it!"

Peter Lanyon Furniture responded:

"Thanks Jo, great to meet you. Hopefully see you soon!"

Lucy Parker reviewed: Children's Lamp Making Workshop -Half Day Woodworking Course in South Devon

"My 11 year old and I spent a wonderful afternoon with Peter and Becky creating beautiful lamps. All of the children on the course were involved at every stage of the process and were trusted to use the woodworking tools supplied, prepare all the materials and then assemble the finished lamp. It was inspirational to see their skills and confidence grow."

Peter Lanyon Furniture responded:

"Thank you Lucy, lovely to see you again and spend some time with A. I hope you are both very pleased with the lamps you made. "

Bob Hill reviewed: Introduction to Green Wood Furniture Making - 2 Day Course in South Devon

"My wife bought this course for my son and I for Christmas. A sort of bonding thing. It was certainly that and so much more. Can't believe that I came away with a really nice three legged stool and my son a low table, completed in two days!! Peter and Toby, his understudy, provided expert and friendly guidance whilst keeping us on track. Great location, workshop, tools and company. A very rewarding and worthwhile two days. Inspired to adapt my workshop at home and do more."

Henry reviewed: Introduction to Green Wood Furniture Making - 2 Day Course in South Devon

"This is something I've been wanting to try ages and this course provided the perfect starting point. Peter and Toby were very knowledgeable and encouraging and their guidance combined with access to a wide range of top quality tools and materials meant we all left with unique pieces we could all be proud of (even complete beginners like me!)"

Peter Lanyon Furniture responded:

"Thanks Henry, a pleasure to meet you. "
