Sara reviewed: Pen making and wood turning introduction

"My woodturning course was just the most amazing experience. Philip Bradley was such a knowledgeable, patient and fun instructor. He made me feel relaxed and comfortable using all the different tools and machines, which, as this was my first attempt at woodturning was really important to me. I learnt so much and I made two beautiful pens, and a lovely spinning top. I enjoyed myself so much I will be going back for more sessions and would like to pursue this as a hobby in the future."

"I’d been given this course as a present & I chose Philip at random. I went along with no preconceived ideas of what it would be like or what I would achieve, other than hoping to learn how to use equipment particularly the lathe. The whole day was an absolute joy & I can thoroughly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn a new practical skill set. Philip fully explained what we would be doing, the best way to achieve it & then guided me through the practicals. Working the wood was so absorbing and the end results extremely rewarding with 2 very attractive pens to show for it. Whilst a 1 day course can only ever outline the basics, I learnt enough to make me want to take this further. Thank you for a great day."

" Thank you very much, Alan, It is always a pleasure working with students like yourself. I was blown away by how quickly you got to grips with the skew and I agree, you did leave with 3 great projects. I am very glad you enjoyed it. "
