Ian Davies reviewed: A one day spoon carving course

"I have just enjoyed, quite simply, one of the most rewarding days of my life. Starting with a green log of wood to taking home a carved spoon, Sharif takes you through all the stages with patience, humour and an infectious enthusiasm. I had always thought I would like to start green wood working as a hobby when I retired, now I am sure. Sharif gives you the confidence to handle the tools safely and to produce something of which you can be righty proud. To watch something appear from a simple log using basic tools is a joy that becomes addictive. Thank you Sharif, this is only the start for me!"

Leo Brooke reviewed: A one day spoon carving course

"This was a fantastic course and I really recommend it for anyone interested in green wood working or even anyone that just wants to make something and have fun. Sharif is a brilliant instructor with a lot of experience and patience. I found I really learnt a lot about spoon carving and the techniques involved so I can develop them further as I keep carving. For ages I have wanted to start green wood working in particular spoon making and this course has really inspired me to use the skills I have learnt and give it a go on my own. I will definitely be doing other green wood working courses in the future. Thanks very much Sharif."

Anna Ricketts reviewed: A one day spoon carving course

"What a wonderful day - Sharif explained everything so clearly, and there were lots of examples for inspiration. Carving a spoon was the perfect way to learn about selecting the wood, safe ways to use an axe, a wood carving knife, and a curved knife, as well as how to sharpen them. This was all done in simple stages, with Sharif keeping a close eye on everyone, and helping us all in turn. Highly recommended. ?"

Jamie Barrow reviewed: A one day spoon carving course

"My fiance Poppy and I attended a wonderful spoon carving course with Sharif today, and cannot recommend it highly enough! He is a brilliant teacher, explaining the techniques clearly and with safety in mind at all times (perfect for us complete novices!). The location is beautiful, the tea and biscuits plentiful, and the experience second-to-none. Thank you Sharif! ...and we will be back for a bowl carving day soon!"
