Peter MIlls reviewed: Introduction to green wood furniture making - two days

"This is a great course, at a great location. Peter is a very good teacher and with his trusty assistant takes you through every step. They are both hands on and step in to help as needed with advice and piratical help. I wish them both good luck with any future courses that they put on."

Elise McLauchlan reviewed: Introduction to green wood furniture making - two days

"Such a fantastic weekend at Peter's workshop learning the joys of green wood furniture making. So many handy tips and tricks that can only be learnt from a master furniture maker like Peter. It was both relaxing and rewarding and I’ll be back to do the 6 day class soon. "

Peter Lanyon Furniture responded:

" Thanks Elise, absolute pleasure teaching you. Hopefully see you on a longer course sometime..."

Ferne Rook reviewed: Tool sharpening and maintenance

"As a beginner to sharpening tools, this was a great day, but I think it is also suitable for more experienced people as there was a wide range of skill levels on the course and all were catered to. Definitely worth bringing lots of your own tools as you leave with lots of new skills but also all your tools sharp. I really appreciated being shown the manual and machine way of sharpening so you know all the options and can choose how you want to do it yourself. It's a beautiful setting where the course is run and coffee and cake was a lovely addition. "

Peter Lanyon Furniture responded:

" Thanks Ferne, lovely to see you again. Glad you got a lot out of the course."
