Sarah reviewed: Rustic Stool Making Course, 2 days

"Amazing course, great location, lovely fellow students and amazing tutor John who is so knowledgeable, patient and attentive and came to my rescue many times! Loved the experience it was harder than I expected but so rewarding to leave we a peace of furniture I will treasure. Real escape from reality and chance to have so time to do something completely different which was great for my mental wellbeing. I would definitely recommend this course and hope to do the workshop again!"
