Martin & Paul reviewed: Woodturning for beginners

"I booked the 1-day beginner course for my partner's birthday, and we had a fantastic time. Stuart was an excellent instructor who tailored the course perfectly to our needs. Since we were just trying woodturning for a fun, one-time experience, he adjusted the focus to be more hands-on rather than spending too much time on theory, which was exactly what we wanted. Stuart was incredibly patient, showing us all the best practices and how to use the tools correctly. By the end of the afternoon, we were thrilled to have made a beautiful bowl and plate, and they turned out looking amazing! We would absolutely recommend Stuart to anyone wanting to try woodturning. This course is perfect for beginners or for those who need a solid introduction before starting on their own. We had such a great experience that we might even be back to practice more!"

"Hi guys, Many thanks for your review. So glad you enjoyed it and of course would be happy to see you both back any time. All the best. Stuart."

Sue and Richard reviewed: Woodturning for beginners

"We spent a very enjoyable two days with Stuart, learning the basics of woodturning. He was very willing to answer lots of questions and to pace the tuition to our individual needs. It was great to see an expert in action, to spend time in a real workshop, see all the tools he uses and get an insight into the creative process. An excellent weekend, thank you"

The Scottish Woodturner responded:

"Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed your two days. "

"Had a fabulous day with Stuart. He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with my husband and I. I loved watching him demonstrate his skills and passing on his knowledge of wood and carving. We cannot recommend Stuart highly enough."
