"The workshop was very informative and lots of fun! The whole day was very well organised, with Robert providing demonstration and guidance at every step of the process. Robert is a great teacher who is clearly passionate about his craft. He was patient at guiding me until I could get the hang of things. A fantastic experience which I would highly recommend!"

"Robert was a great teacher and very knowledgeable about the wood carving process. I spent a lovely Saturday morning and afternoon and the lovely workshop and made a lovely large wooden spoon. Robert was very patient when helping me with my lack of ability with the hook knife! A wonderful experience."

"Robert's workshop was absolutely brilliant. The day passed so quickly. We started from scratch and axed a log of wood ourselves to carve our future spoons. We learned to used all the tools, which I loved. Robert found the right balance between teaching/giving advice and giving us space to solve problems, while always being available to help and step in when needed. He is also very passionate and knowledgeable about carving so I felt like I learn a lot. I enjoyed it so much I would actually do it again! And we all left with beautiful spoons and spatulas. I highly recommend it."

"A fantastic workshop to explore a new creative medium, wood carving. Started from a branch and left with a spoon/spatula which I actually can't wait to use. Robert is a chill and knowledgeable teacher that let's you safely experiment, advises techniques and keeps an eye on you so it's safe to try them ~ with respect to people's abilities and comfort level. I had been looking forward to this workshop and was absolutley not disappointed. Would highly recommend to try it out."

"It was great to be guided with a perfect balance of demonstration and time for us participants to figure out every step from choosing our piece of wood to our final product ourselves, hands on! Robert created a very comfortable environment to allow our creativity to take its own course, he was always available to answer questions and taught us a mindful approach to the practice. Incredible experience!"

"Robert was approachable and knowledgeable throughout the day, but most importantly the care and passion he feels about his work, really comes across in his teaching. In answering all questions and showing us how to handle the tools and wood, Robert is positive and patient with curious carvers. The belief he has in students, helped to build confidence and keep our spoons (and fingers) in sight. Robert is very talented and generous in sharing his skills, hope to see more wood carving courses being led by him in the future. The follow-up materials are very helpful and the handmade bibs were so lovely too!"
