Jamie Woodhead reviewed: Woodturning Lesson in the Heart of Yorkshire by Professional Woodturners

"As an introduction to woodturning, this was great course. They only normally have 2 pupils, so there's very close supervision. The teaching was simple and instructive, and we produced 2 nice objects to take away. I would highly recommend the course to those just starting in woodturning as getting the basic techniques right at the start is vital."

Richard reviewed: Woodturning Lesson in the Heart of Yorkshire by Professional Woodturners

"Excellent experience, would highly recommend! I'd always wanted to try wood turning but never had the opportunity before, so finally decided it to give it a go via one of Dan's workshops, who I found online when searching for courses near me. Dan (our teacher) was very friendly and approachable, very good at explaining the various techniques we'd be using, stepping in to help and guide when needed but otherwise happy to let us practice at our own pace. Dan clearly knows his stuff too, and was happy to answer any of our questions along the way! Over the day, we made a simple seed dibber in the morning to learn basic turning and shaping, then moved on to making a small bowl in the afternoon to learn the different techniques used there. At lunch, we were taken to a very nice cafe across the road - can highly recommend the bacon sandwiches! Having never done any wood turning before, and not considering myself a particularly creative or 'crafty' person, I was delighted with the end results (the seed dibber and bowl I had produced), and I was able to take my creations home with me. A very enjoyable day!"
