I picked up lots of useful tips and was very happy with what I had learned. Jane was a great host. "

Donna reviewed: Willow Chicken , Heron or Flying Owl Sculpture The David Hall

"Thank you so much Jo for a fabulous day, it was so much fun and I came away with a pheasant....yay. I would thoroughly recommend this course, never done anything like it before but that didn't matter. Everything was set up before our small groups arrival, kettle was on and biscuits out 👍🏻Jo was warm and welcoming and put us all at ease, she demonstrated each of the initial steps and then let our individuality flow...gently guiding us if inspiration lacked at times. The whole day was a joy and flew by too quickly. I feel inspired to add to my pheasant now....thank you Jo xxxxx"

She’s got bundles of experience and patience - (I’m not naturally very good at these things 😂 but I didn’t feel like that mattered) I’m so happy with my mug and can’t wait to book on another course! Highly recommend! "

Angela reviewed: Introduction to creative floorloom weaving

"It was a fun and relaxing afternoon, learning, weaving and creating. Janine was very friendly and amazing to chat with. She showed me some basic techniques with examples, and let me get on with the loom with occasional encouragement and suggestions. It's all very informal and flexible. Time passed so quickly that 4 hours just flew by. Now I must find time to come back!"

Angela Harrington reviewed: Beginners spoon carving course

"I attended the workshop as a complete novice and Steve was superb! Friendly and welcoming, clear demonstration and instructions at every stage, supportive throughout and he very easily shared his knowledge with each of the participants and answered questions according to their ability and skills (some had previously attended courses or worked with wood in some way, for example). Venue and space was perfect. I came away not only with my own rustic spoon but with respect and admiration for Steve and others working with wood, to create beautiful objects and tools to treasure. "

Northern Wood Monkey responded:

"Thanks Angela. I was a pleasure to carve with you and I am so glad you enjoyed the day."

"Thank you Sue for your lovely review! It was great teaching you all on Friday and seeing your wonderful Reindeer emerge. Glad that you've caught the 'willow bug' and hope that I do get to teach you again in the future. Best wishes, Sarah"

Mark & Laura reviewed: Silver Ring Making Workshop

"We highly recommend this course. The course for us was quick - we knew the pattern and width of silver we wanted, so we were able to start the class right away. Darren is an amazing instructor and knew exactly when to let us work and when we needed his assistance. We had tons of questions and he had clear and knowledgeable answers. We came away with a matching wedding set to celebrate our 40th anniversary. The rings are a wonderful memory of our 20 days in Scotland that we are reminded of each time we look at our hands. The only critique we would have is not about the course, it was navigation only. The signage leading to the farm could be better, but once you got in there - you knew exactly where you were going. Google maps found the way - and the drive was worth it."

Jacky Brett reviewed: Welding with confidence

"What an enjoyable day. Excellent tutoring with easy step-by-step instructions, no waiting around for equipment as we all had our own welder to use. "
