Alyson and Howard reviewed: Basic woodturning half day

"Fantastic beginners woodturning experience. I booked this woodturning tuition course as a birthday gift for my husband, and we both had an absolutely brilliant time. Chris was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the session. As complete beginners, we felt totally at ease in his workshop and learned so much in just a few hours. The hands-on guidance and encouragement made it a really enjoyable and rewarding experience. We left with a new appreciation for the craft—and a couple of handmade pieces we're proud of! Highly recommend this course to anyone curious about woodturning. "

"Alison & Howard, it was my pleasure. You both did very well . The pieces you both made were tremendous,well done guys."

Su reviewed: Woodturning taster

"Loved this session. Chris was very patient and a great ambassador for the craft of woodturning. I signed up for a two-hour taster session but was there for almost double that time, which is testament to the fact that Chris wanted to ensure I left with something I was really happy with. He also provided details of woodturning clubs near me ( I completed this session while on holiday). I was really pleased with the bowl I produced and would love to go on and learn more. Thank you so much Chris"

"Hi Su Great to hear from you, it was a pleasure to introduce you to a wonderful craft. Really enjoyed passing my knowledge onto you and your appreciation of pieces that are ( tactile) by adding texture. Enjoy your journey Su. Best regards Chris parker "

Chris Jeffrey reviewed: Basic woodturning half day

"An excellent session. For something that looks "so easy" online you soon find out it's not but Chris is very patient and a great teacher. Having done this in one session previously I was really keen to be back trying woodturning. It was obvious to Chris some aspects I did struggle with but he was very keen to see what motivated me to try and build on my enthusiasm. There was even tips on how I could continue doing this if I chose. I even experienced a little personal "wobble" during the session, Chris handled this excellently and got me going again - even cutting into his own time to ensure I finished and was still motivated by the end. Thoroughly enjoyed and Chris is an excellent teacher!"

Chris Parker Woodturner responded:

"Hi Chris, Really happy you enjoyed your tuition, your enthusiasm was fantastic & yes a wobble as you say but you came back stronger. All the best with your turning journey. Chris parker "
