Aileen Mitchell reviewed: Wood turning - One day course

"I think I'm hooked! What a great course and great teacher. As a total beginner I was delighted to come away with a very acceptable wooden bowl and sampler spindle. Anna was very patient and took us through each stage carefully and succinctly. Highly recommend Anna's course. X"

joshua Robinson reviewed: Wood turning - Two day course

"I really enjoyed the 2 day wood turning course with Anna. She is incredibly knowledgeable and patient and was able to guide me through all the processes and techniques to complete a beautiful cherry wood stool. In addition to the use of the lathe and various chisels you also get the opportunity to use other tools (including a bandsaw, chop saw, drill press and sander). I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys woodwork and would like to try their hand at turning wood."
