Antony Dodworth reviewed: One day Wood Carving Experience

"I had never done any wood carving before, so this was a first, it was a very enjoyable day, I achieved more in the day that I had expected, this was mainly due to Peter’s let’s give it a go attitude , he is obviously a very talented man, looking at the things that he has made in his workshop. Would recommend this course to anyone with an interest in wood carving. Antony"

Rix & Co Rocking Horses Ltd responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Antony. It was great to meet you and we would love to have you back in the workshop anytime if you fancy another project. Best Wishes Pete "

Brian C reviewed: One day Wood Carving Experience

"My wife and I had the best day with Pete making flower carvings we’re so proud of. Especially as we were both complete beginners. Pete has a great, encouraging teaching style & shared his knowledge & time between the four of us there, generously. The Ambulance Station is a wonderful space with glorious natural light & the food from across the courtyard was delicious. We can’t recommend it highly enough. Just brilliant."

Rix & Co Rocking Horses Ltd responded:

"Hi Brian, So lovely to meet you both and really glad you enjoyed your day and are proud of your work - you should be - you both did brilliantly. Best Wishes Pete "

Katie reviewed: One day Wood Carving Experience

"This was just such a hugely enjoyable day. Neither my husband nor I had any experience and we are both truly amazed by what two complete novices can achieve. The day was really relaxing – the concentration of the carving means your mind empties of all else. Pete is a great teacher and good at creating an environment where we felt comfortable and inspired. Lunch was fab and I had my coffee dependency fully catered for! Interesting conversation, absorbing work, and an end result we are both chuffed to bits with. A big thank you Pete – and yes, I’m currently musing on a design of my own I would love to carve."

James Warburton reviewed: One day Wood Carving Experience

"This was a great course Pete was an amazing teacher. It is a lovely workshop with a really friendly atmosphere where you can just enjoy your new skill. Lunch was very tasty and the kettle was always on for a brew. It was a fabulous course my wife and I can't recommend enough. We have never done this before and after 6 hours, left with a woodcarving we can each be proud of."

"Hi James Thank you for such a great review. It was really lovely to meet you both - you guys were an absolute pleasure to teach you. You should both be really proud of your pieces - you did a super job - you are very welcome back any time :)"
