Steve Bragg reviewed: Charcoal making and drawing at Walderchain Wood, Canterbury

"Wonderful experience! Learnt so much about the entire process of charcoal making through Mark’s expert knowledge and by simply having a go, in a safe and welcoming setting. After lashings of tea, and Christina’s delicious lunch, Kim’s insightful drawing tuition got us thinking about how to see the woodland quite differently and in a very interesting and fun way. We’re very lucky indeed to have the opportunity to do this. I drove all the way home with a big smile on my face - a great day with lovely company in a simply beautiful setting. Thanks Mark, Kim and Christina can’t wait to use my new charcoal again."

Walderchain Wood responded:

"Steve Thank you for joining us and for taking time to review your day here. Glad you enjoyed it and got so much from it. Keep drawing. All the best Mark"

"Really satisfying course. Delivered clearly and covering everything and more. Left feeling confident I could certainly have a go at doing my own. Nice small class in beautiful surroundings. Lunch was a tasty bonus! "

Tony Brown reviewed: Bowl Carving (Round Bowl) in Walderchain Wood

"What a great day we had yesterday at Walderchain Wood Kent A full day doing a Bowl Carving course. We learnt a lot about wood a lot about various tools and their uses. Who knew you could carve small items with an Axe. A very sharp Axe. Thanks to Mark a great patient instructor and his wife who cooked a locally gathered lunch. Well done to the pair of you and thank you "
