I had a fantastic time at my Wire Wrapped Crystal Necklace Workshop with Jo. She is a very kind and patient teacher. I was very happy with the pendent I made and look forward to future workshops.

Well organised, updates nearer the time.
A beautiful location and Alison and Liz were friendly, welcoming hosts.
The day surpassed expectations. There was the right balance of info/ techniques and practical. After the initial input, guidance was given on an individual basis based on design and each individual’s needs. Great value for money.

Went to Anvil Forge
Like some of the others attending the experience day this was a birthday present and one of the best, what a great day, got to experience using hammers and tongs with red hot metals and and an array of other tools and came away with a poker (everyone does) and I made a metal swallow which I am very pleased with. A real friendly helpful team and I have been singing their praises ever since. Go for it.

"Excellent course from a great charismatic teacher.
Each task was clearly outlined with full safety in mind. Then we were able to copy those techniques up to the stage demonstrated. Then the next stage was made clear, and so on. We did four projects to teach basic wood turning skills. I feel, as a total beginner, confident to tackle bowl, vases and other items.
The course was bought for me as a present from my wife, thanks it was brilliant. Fun, satisfying and instructive.
Mick is a great teacher"

The Children's whittling class by Alan from Alien Spoons is an excellent course. Alan is very skilled, knowledgeable, and goes at the child's pace. He makes sure that the parent understands the different techniques that the child learns in order to supervise for safety after the course, which I found very thoughtful. My 9 year old loved it. I would highly recommend the course.

Had a really good day working with Andrew on the chair. He was amiable and patient with my list of woodworking skills! There was plenty of opportunity to use the machinery and he kept the hot drinks coming.

I'm happy with the end product, but I still need to paint it. I would definitely recommend this course as you get a finished product to take home, which feels like a real achievement. Due to the nature of the course and the size of the workshop you will probably be the only student there, which means you get one-to-one attention.

The only tip I would give is wear warm clothes as the workshop is understandably cold.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable course, which was superbly presented by Andy. He made everything so possible and I was so impressed with the outcome of my Raku pottery and the fact that I came away with three completed pottery projects was unbelievable

An excellent day - Jason and the other helpers were friendly and informative. The day was a gift from my wife who adores Penguins so for my project piece for the day I had to make a penguin in stained glass which she loves.

This was an amazing day; I cant believe what we managed to create in one day. Jo is such a skilled teacher and she gets the balance between helping students and allowing creativity perfectly. The method she uses is one I have never experienced before but it is so effective when created with all the help offered at the course.
The day flew by and I walked away with a beautiful sitting hare for the garden. I have to say this is one of the best workshops I have ever done.

Very enjoyable course.

What a fantastic experience! Nadine is a wonderful instructor — warm, encouraging and clearly passionate about her craft. She created a really relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that made the whole process feel accessible whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience. The course struck the perfect balance between guidance and creative freedom, and the finished fused glass pieces we came away with were genuinely stunning. It's incredibly satisfying to make something so beautiful with your own hands. Brilliant value for money too. Highly recommended!

Yes we thoroughly enjoyed our course yesterday. Johnathan was so patient and explained well. He had to be patient as I was so fascinated with it all I’d forget what he’d just asked me to do and he was really good and explained again. Nothing was too much trouble. This course was bought for me by my husband for Christmas. He never thought he could make anything like he did yesterday. I know he wasn’t looking forward to the practical side of it because before the course he kept telling me to take my daughter. I wanted him to come and experience it with me. He was so pleased he did! He just kept saying that he never thought he could make something like that and how proud he was that he did. It was my present but he enjoyed it as much as I did. Johnathan made us both welcome and right from the start we felt comfortable and eager to start glass blowing. I would recommend Johnathan to anyone one wanting to try glass blowing. It fascinates me to watch the craft and now we have done it ourselves. Johnathan is sending our art work to us, so now we can’t wait to show it off to family and friends. Thank you for an amazing day!

What a brilliant two days. Mick is a great teacher, his workspace is filled with all the best tools he will expertly tell you how to use. The course is perfectly pitched with lots to do at the right pace so you come away with finished products to show off as well as some really great knowledge of wood turning.

I would recommend the course to anyone who is interested in wood crafts either you’re thinking about wood turning as a hobby or just want to do something practical and at the same time create pieces you can be proud of this is the course for you.

The object of the course was to build confidence and it did just that. Friendly, really useful instruction and well paced. Every query was treated helpfully and you were not made to feel silly for asking something basic. Plenty of practical hands on opportunities.

"Having never picked up MIG welder in my 75 yrs, this course provided all I wanted to get me going. My aim is to improve my classic vehicle resto skills and this sets me on the road. Perfect, Nigel is the go to man, thanks for the day."

Very enjoyable relaxed class in Silver.
We all went home with our creations, mostly pendants, and earrings.
Very good tuition from Lynne, and helpful tips. I did ask a lot of questions, but Lynne had time for all of us. I have since made things at home, and feel more confident to do so.
Thank you.

What a fabulous day. Very relaxed and yet so much accomplished! I booked this for my son and I as something to do together that we both had an interest in. It will be a treasured memory with a gorgeous tray to remind us of a good time. Instructions clear and a wonderful working space. Everyone should sign up and enjoy this experience.

Fabulous day, very supportive and great instruction

Everything you need is provided. The course runs very smoothly. The atmosphere is friendly and enthusiastic. I made a belt of which I'm very proud. Thoroughly recommend.

Great day , learned loads. Dave is a lovely man, great teacher . I did this coarse to learn enough skills to tackle a DIY project and I have. And it was fun highly recommend.
