Mark Leonard reviewed: Wood carving one day tester

"This is a wonderful three-day wood carving experience. Sebastian is an extremely helpful, highly knowledgeable and experienced tutor, with an in-depth knowledge of carving techniques and materials. His teaching style is relaxed, patient, and very supportive, which makes learning pleasurable and accessible to all skill levels, from complete beginners to those looking to improve. The class is very hands-on with a practical approach and plenty of guidance. Sebastian strikes a good balance between providing instruction and allowing students the freedom to explore their own ideas and create unique pieces. This course was very enjoyable, rewarding, and inspiring, creating a friendly atmosphere among all the students. I came away from this experience feeling more confident and knowledgeable about my new carving skills, plus surprise and pride at what I was able to achieve by the end of the course."

"The three day wood carving course was excellent, I’d recommend it to anyone with any level of skill or complete beginners. Sebastian is a very friendly knowledgeable tutor who makes it an easy relaxed environment to learn in or improve existing skills. The location is wonderful too, the farm owner Dordie is so warm and welcoming and cooks the most delicious, plentiful lunches and gorgeous freshly baked cakes in the afternoon. Thanks for a very rewarding, enjoyable three days."

Pauline Fortune reviewed: Wood carving one day tester

"This three day course was excellent, the location of the farm was 10 minutes away and the set up was not only perfect but welcoming. I was made to feel at home and nothing was to much trouble. The food was out standing and plentiful as was the conversation around the dinner table. Sebastian was patient and relaxed in his teaching which enabled me too asked questions, he was every knowledgeable and imparted a huge amount of information and demonstrated technical skills which allowed me to develop new techniques in carving. Brilliant course. "

Gary Daniels reviewed: Wood carving one day tester

"Just finished the 3 day carving course at Middleton Farm with Sebastian and the ever positive and tireless host of Farm. What a fantastic host and place to hold the course. I can honestly say it has been the best course I have had the pleasure to attend. The facilities, the five star food has been faultless equally so for Sebastian's tutoring/instructions on the intricacies of carving. His relaxed professional attitude and ability to pass on his skills enabled me to produce work, (as a first timer) which was rewarding and pleasantly surprised me. I will be going on future courses with Sebastian. 5 stars for this 3 day course.. Gary Daniels"

SBCW responded:

"Dear Gary Thanks for attending our first Wood Carving class at Middletown Farm. We were delighted to meet you and see your work grow and develop. It was so nice to see you learning new skills and creating your own individual style. Everybody in the class took home a piece of work that they could be proud to have made. It was a great pleasure to spend time together with this lovely group and chat over lunch. We felt rather like a family all eating and talking together. You were all so kind and appreciative of everything and it was a real pleasure to run this course. We are already looking forward to the next one which will be in September. Thank you again for being such great students and we look forward to seeing you again, Sebastian Burchart and Dordie C Ketley"
