Tina Mitchell reviewed: Building and weaving a simple stool at The Quiet Workshop

"A wonderful two days. The course was very informative and enjoyed everything. We learnt so much as the course was to explain what we were doing and why. The drinks and lunch were provided and very yummy. The hosts were lovely people, friendly and welcoming. Conversations were varied and light hearted. Very pleased with the end products."

The Quiet Workshop responded:

"Tina, thank you so much for your review! What an absolutely lovely thing to read. It was great to have you and David in the workshop; you were terrific company in a lovely group. We’re so glad your stools turned out so well. I hope you’re really proud of them. "

"A fantastic, professionally run course where you can lose yourself doing something you love. I am super chuffed with the stool I produced. Excellent, mouth watering food was provided by Bryony. Such a great course I can't recommend it highly enough."

The Quiet Workshop responded:

"Be, what a lovely thing to read. Thank you. We’re glad you like your stool; you did a great job. Thanks for your great conversation and sense of humour. It was a pleasure to have you on a course. StJohn & Bryony"

Richard reviewed: Building and weaving a side chair at The Quiet Workshop

"StJohn & Bryony, thank you for providing such a fantastic experience in your workshop last weekend. The tutoring was excellent as was the hospitality! You make a great team. Clear instruction and demonstration. I would not hesitate to recommend your courses and wish you all the best for the future. "

The Quiet Workshop responded:

"Richard, thanks so much for your review. It was lovely having you in the workshop. I’m definitely going to steal your technique for tying back the weft as you weave; it’s now on the flip chart. I hope you get the holdfasts sorted out; let me know if you need any other measurements. StJohn & Bryony"

Jane Earnshaw reviewed: Building and weaving a simple stool at The Quiet Workshop

"I'm writing this review sitting on the stool I made at The Quiet Workshop and I've got a big grin on my face. The teaching was perfectly pitched, the atmosphere really supportive and we got fed too! "

The Quiet Workshop responded:

"Jane, thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. It was a pleasure having you in the workshop, hearing about your extraordinary workshop build and benefitting from your skills and experience. You did a lovely job with the prep, joinery and finish on the stool and your weave was second-to-none. StJohn & Bryony"
