Stanwick Lakes Art and Craft Courses reviews

Michelle Bignell reviewed: Weave a Willow Frame Basket

"I loved this course. I really wasn't sure that as a complete weaving beginner I would be able to make a functional and attractive basket, especially in a one day course, but I did and am absolutely delighted with the result. Jane was a lovely teacher and had lots of patience, supporting 9 attendees. We all appeared to get the support and attention we needed I think. I would definitely do this course again. Wish we had arrived earlier to look around the site, as it looks really interesting. Thanks "

"Fantastic wood working course. I learned so much today about the tools, wood composition and techniques. I was able to put it to practical use with a flower that everyone did and then a free style project. It was a small group setting which allowed for plenty of one on one instruction and help. I’d recommend this for any budding wood carving enthusiast. "

Carole reviewed: Rustic Stool Making Course, 2 days

"We thoroughly enjoyed this course. We started by choosing a log from which to make the legs for our stool and worked with a variety of hand tools to fashion the wood to the required size and shape. This was hard work at times. Having no previous knowledge of woodwork we are very proud of our finished items. Our course leader, John , taught us well and was helpful and friendly. Stanwick Lakes is lovely, staffed by great people who went out of their way to ensure we were happy."
