"An absolutely great way to spend a weekend. Zoe is such a nice person and a terrific instructor, who somehow managed to guide two ham-fisted blokes into creating something way beyond our expectations. Great facilities in lovely surroundings- this course is good value and well worth doing!"

Brian and Chris Tucker reviewed: "Beetle Mania"- relief carved inspired by insects and nature in stone . A two day creative stone carving course with Zoe Singleton

"We both enjoyed this excellent course which produced some great pieces of stone work in 2 days. Zoe was very helpful in guiding our progress as we worked on the stone and always provided useful suggestions to assist at every stage of the work, from choosing the stone, helping with the design, assisting with techniques of working and keeping us on track to complete the work over a weekend. We were very happy with the studio setup as we had to work in a Covid-safe environment, but Zoe managed to keep us all safe whilst supplying biscuits, coffee and inspiration for us all. Thank you Zoe."

"Honestly, a truly wonderfully enjoyable two days in a lovely environment with a superb teacher. We didn't want to leave and would go back in a heartbeat. Zoe really is the perfect teacher - she encourages just enough, but makes you do the work so that you learn. Thank you Zoe so much for being so patient and generous."

"Brilliant course, expertly run by Zoe. I would recommend highly. A friend and I completed the Word Up course last weekend. We had a superb time, and with no prior experience took away two name plates that we were proud of. Zoe is an excellent teacher with a good combination of demonstrating what you need to do, and encouraging you to be confident. Covid safe with sensible measures, whilst maintaining a fun environment. We are looking forward to our next carving challenge. Thank you Zoe"

"I booked the 2 day stone carving course for my mum's birthday. My husband liked the look of it too, so the 3 of us booked on the course in February. What a great couple of days. It's funny how you can spend all day stood next to each, but hardly talk as you get so engrossed in what you're doing. When you start with a solid block of stone, you can't quite believe you'll have a completed piece by the end it, but we did and were really pleased with what we produced. Zoe was great at showing what needed to be done, ensuring everyone stayed on track and provided help where needed. Zoe's workshop is in a great location, set up to run small group sessions. It was lovely to see some of her sculptures in the workshop too. A very talented lady :o) We were very well fed and watered on both days. Zoe and Paul supplied great home cooked lunches along with tasty cakes and biscuits. We all really enjoyed the weekend and would love to come back and try the letter carving course."

"What a wonderful experience this weekend course was. The spacious studio allowed a comfortable working environment for beginner students and Zoe, a very thorough and helpful teacher, guided us to our hugely satisfying outcome. A lovely stone planter each. We were made very welcome with teas and coffee and a delicious, home cooked lunch had in friendly company each day. Hard work and a few aches have definitely not deterred my itch to keep going. I too, am researching tools and would love the opportunity to continue learning and practising stone carving. Thank you so much Zoe."

"The two of us on the course started with a block of limestone each and after two days (12hours ) of hard work we finished with very presentable garden planters with bird motifs.( Our choice). It was a thoroughly rewarding time and so stimulating that I have put in an offer on some stone tools! As a teacher Zoe was empathetic, encouraging, patient and always helpful. Lunch was included and included home made bread, soup, savoury items and puddings, which were delicious. The work was demanding in terms of concentration and both of us had aching wrists but it was most enjoyable and stimulating. Thank you Zoe for an absorbing experience which I would like to repeat, perhaps with a different stone. I'm hooked! Mike"
