Jacquie reviewed: Woodturning 2 day workshop

"This was a gift for my husband's 70th. Andy's communication from pre-booking to post course was excellent. Wood turning was a craft my husband had not done before, though always wanted to. Andy's excellent engaging tuition and wealth of knowledge has inspired my husband to continue wood turning, (when he gets the correct tools and a lathe!). He came home with 2 beautifully turned bowls of which he is rightly proud! Andy and Mary's friendly hospitality was the icing on the tasty home baked cake! Highly recommended. "

"The day exceeded my expectations on all accounts. Hospitality from Andy, Mary and Angus (the dog) was great and I can’t imagine there’s anything regarding wood turning that Andy doesn’t know. Great examples of. Some amazing projects that have been done and it’s a very inspiring and down to earth workshop and atmosphere. Great delivery of his wealth of knowledge and whilst Andy was on hand for everything, he also gave space to try things without pressure etc. I shall definitely be booking again to further develop the interest I have and learn more. Highly recommend!"

Steve Poulton reviewed: Woodturning tuition in Wiltshire

"I had a day with Andy yesterday which was enormously enjoyable and interesting. I’m a competent DIY carpenter but had never attempted turning before. Andy has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all things woodturning and is an engaging and patient tutor. Would highly recommend a day with Andy. "
