Bruce Goodwin reviewed: Introduction to Greenwood Spoon Carving- Beginners Eating Spoon

"Great day. Anita really went the extra mile with some extra help and had a really nice style of teaching. I've already bought myself some knives and an axe."

Linda reviewed: Pole lathe course - Make a Mallet

"I took part in the pole lathe course on Saturday and had such a lovely and absorbing day with the group making my mallet. Both the tutor and assistant made it such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with supportive and informative teaching. The experiential style of teaching suited me perfectly and I got so much out of it. I’ll be on the look out for similar courses. Thank you so much! 🙂"

""10/10 wood carve again" 🤩 Such a brilliant day spent carving this spoon with the wonderful, talented and generous Anita. As a beginner I learnt so many skills at the workshop, working with an axe and carving tools. The outdoor setting at Eccesal Woods was gorgeous too. Highly recommend to beginners, you are in safe hands 💚🌷"
