Elaine Kirt reviewed: A whole day woodturning tuition

"Absolutely brilliant! Chris was so lovely and patient with me and I was so chuffed to come away with my honey drizzler and bowl. Chris was informative, helpful and funny....he gave constructive advice when needed and positive feedback when deserved. Nothing was too daft to ask and he has certainly given me a new founded love for woodworking. I would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you Chris 😁"

Chris Parker Woodturner responded:

"Elaine, it was great to have you in the workshop. You produced two pieces of work two be proud of. Well done .👏👏"

Martyn Pritchard reviewed: Woodturning taster

"Very informative, a good morning of tuition, which taught me what I'm doing wrong when using a skew. Plus I have a few more ideas of projects to try and further my skills."

Chris Parker Woodturner responded:

"Hi Martyn Really glad you found the tuition,informative addressed the problems you was having with the skew. Further projects ,yes the texturing tools can be adding but very rewarding when mastered . Keep on turning. Regards Chris parker "

Julie Nolan reviewed: A whole day beginningers woodturning for 2 people

"Had a brilliant day, Chris is such a good teacher. Can’t believe we made a honey dipper and bowl which both look amazing. We were both complete beginners. Would definitely recommend this course. "
