Elizabeth Donaghy reviewed: Spoon Carving with Touchwood Glasgow

"A great way to spend a Saturday. Robert is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher as I was a complete novice, never having done woodwork before. I’m already looking at potential friends & family to gift this experience to. Robert followed the course with an email containing useful information and where to buy supplies. Great location with trains, buses & parking in side streets. If you’re thinking about this course I recommend you go for it. "

"A great relaxing way to spend the day, Robert was an excellent teacher with bags of much needed patience. Unfortunately though I am now looking at all logs as 'future spoons'. "

"A nice day all in and I left with total confidence. I could do this again on my own with the right tools. As others have said, it was cold cold cold so do take plenty of layers. Thanks for a lovely day "

Touchwood Glasgow responded:

"Thank you for my first 4-star review in almost 2.5yrs of passing on some of the techniques specific to carving spoons, I'm glad I was able to help instill the level of "total confidence" required to now practice the craft independently! Unfortunately I don't control the space (unheated) or the weather, and was caught out by the day being pretty cold during a typical spell of Scottish weather being all over the place, so never got the chance to send out a 'wrap up warm email message' prior. It's unclear in your review why the star was dropped, so I assume this was not a teaching gripe given the "total confidence" statement, but rather a climate related dissatisfaction. Nevertheless, I appreciate all and any reviews, and/or constructive feedback. Thanks again for joining the growing league of spooncarvers :))"

"I attended this course with my partner who sadly had to leave on the day due to poor health. Robert was very patient and accommodating in allowing me to come and go to take them home and check on them. Robert brought me back up to speed with the group upon my return. Robert has a very deep and well founded knowledge of all things woodcarving and was patient in explaining how to use the various tools. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and will definitely be spoon carving in the future. As a side note I would suggest anyone who is attending to wrap up warm, particularly if it's a cold day as the workshop is unheated. "
