"Had an amazing experience, Anna was a great teacher and the workshop was perfect. I would highly recommend the course to anyone who fancies wood turning. We turned the most beautiful bowl in a day. "

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."

Hans Grupping reviewed: Wood turning - One day course

"A great experience, Anna is very generous in sharing her knowledge of wood turning, patiently explaining the process, which tools to use when & how to set up the lathe. She quickly built my confidence on the lathe and let me work the wood, offering advice & guidance when needed. I had a great day, came home still buzzing & used my bowl straight away!"

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Glad to hear you were buzzing from your class. Happy future turning "

Ian Stirling reviewed: Wood turning - One day course

"Superb day with Anna. Arrived with some nerves having never used a lathe before. But I was soon fascinated by Anna’s clear explanations, easy manner and I was put at ease very quickly. I particularly appreciated her allowing me to learn some basic skills just by handling the chisels. Loved the finished result and the way I learned even through some of my mistakes! Hope it’s a beginning."

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Glad you had a great day"

Moira reviewed: Wood turning - One day course

"Excellent experience with Anna Nichols. I attended with my partner Tom. We had done some woodwork before but not turning. She had a very pleasant and patient manner. Her instructions were clear and perfectly paced. Really pleased with what we achieved and learned. Overall excellent value. I would certainly return for another course and have no hesitation in recommending this experience."

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Glad you both enjoyed the day"

Eli Appleby-Donald reviewed: Wood turning - One day course

"Wow What an absolutely fantastic day - we had so much fun and Anna is such a friendly and relaxed teacher. I can’t believe we made those gorgeous bowls! I’m hooked…. I want to do more courses now. Seriously, absolutely recommend it. Because the groups are so small, you get lots of 1-2-1 tuition but you never feel like teacher is watching. I learned so much."

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Awesome glad you had a good day turning. Happy future turning "

Ann Andrews reviewed: Wood turning - 2 hour taster session

"I really enjoyed the wood turning taster session. It was great to have one to one attention, getting to know the machine and tools. Anna's guidance and top tips on what to do, and what not to do will stay with me whilst I practice and will return for the bowl turning in time. In the meantime I shall proudly use my bottle stop. Thanks Anna. "

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Glad to hear you had a good time. Can’t wait to see your new turnings in the future "

Louise Cunningham reviewed: Wood turning - Two day course

"I had a great two days learning to woodturn for the very first time with Anna. She was extremely patient and encouraging with this nervous newbie, and I managed to come away with a lovely 3 legged stool and an interest in wanting to do some more now I have a little knowledge. Would highly recommend this course."

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Thank you for your review "

Thomas Morrison reviewed: Wood turning - One day course

Morag reviewed: Wood turning - One day course

"What an experience! Anna explained everything step by step because, as a complete beginner, I needed that. The day went quickly. Step by step Anna demonstrated, then after each step, it was my turn. I was guided unobtrusively, while being allowed to get a feel for the tools and wood. The one to one tuition, meant it all went at my pace, and I did not feel I was keeping others back. Anna is so patient, reassuring, clearly loves her profession and made me feel relaxed. I was so proud of my finished bowl! I hope to be able to take part in more Woodturning classes run by Anna, and even feel I would enjoy being part of a small group for beginners. "

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Glad you had a good time "

Simon Platts reviewed: Wood turning - One day course

"Well worth the money! Originally I was going to buy a lathe and plod away myself in a self-taught fashion from day 1. I'm glad I didn't as I now realise I could've wasted a whole load of time and money. Great practical training but also great advice on equipment, tools etc"

Anna L Nichols Furniture responded:

"Great and good luck with your little product you're making"
