Zoltan reviewed: Basic woodturning half day

"This was brilliant day, really informative and hands on as well as being fun. Chris was really friendly and a great tutor, very easy to spend a day with. I am very tall and Chris was accommodating in moving bits around to make sure I was comfortable and safe. I would highly recommend and I hope to return in the future. "

David Green reviewed: Basic woodturning half day

"I had an amazing morning with Chris in my first attempt at wood turning. Chris was the most patient and graceful teacher who enabled me to produce two pieces that impressed my wife when I got home. The time went so quickly that the session came to an end on time, but before I wanted it to end. I leant so much and Chris led me through the process of turning. I would strongly recommend a session with Chris to anyone who would like to explore wood turning. I can’t think of how the deacons be improved; Chris knows his stuff and is brilliant at passing this onto his students."

Chris Parker Woodturner responded:

"Hi David, Really glad to hear you enjoyed your tuition. David you was a joy to teach and very positive, I think their could be a lathe in your workshop soon. Best regards Chris "

Alyson and Howard reviewed: Basic woodturning half day

"Fantastic beginners woodturning experience. I booked this woodturning tuition course as a birthday gift for my husband, and we both had an absolutely brilliant time. Chris was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the session. As complete beginners, we felt totally at ease in his workshop and learned so much in just a few hours. The hands-on guidance and encouragement made it a really enjoyable and rewarding experience. We left with a new appreciation for the craft—and a couple of handmade pieces we're proud of! Highly recommend this course to anyone curious about woodturning. "

Chris Parker Woodturner responded:

"Alison & Howard, it was my pleasure. You both did very well . The pieces you both made were tremendous,well done guys."

Su reviewed: Woodturning taster

"Loved this session. Chris was very patient and a great ambassador for the craft of woodturning. I signed up for a two-hour taster session but was there for almost double that time, which is testament to the fact that Chris wanted to ensure I left with something I was really happy with. He also provided details of woodturning clubs near me ( I completed this session while on holiday). I was really pleased with the bowl I produced and would love to go on and learn more. Thank you so much Chris"

Chris Parker Woodturner responded:

"Hi Su Great to hear from you, it was a pleasure to introduce you to a wonderful craft. Really enjoyed passing my knowledge onto you and your appreciation of pieces that are ( tactile) by adding texture. Enjoy your journey Su. Best regards Chris parker "
