Zoe Gertner Woodcarvings reviews

Liz Dixon reviewed: Woodcarving Tuition in Cornwall

"Excellent workshop. Zoe was a great teacher, explaining how to use each of the tools, with a chance to practice technique on a scrap bit of wood before working on the main design. Also learnt about how to carve the wood depending on the grain, adding detailing & finishing with some beeswax. Really pleased with my finished piece."

"Very enjoyable day and Zoe is an excellent teacher. Sadly I didn't have time to finish my piece in one day but I learnt the skills to enable me to complete it at home (hopefully!). Thoroughly recommend this course."

Andrew Holly reviewed: Woodcarving Tuition in Cornwall

"I had been give a two day course as a present and bought a day course for Andrew. Zoe is a gentle, thoughtful person who guides you through the different processes as you go along. She's always on hand for tips on how to achieve the best results and encourages you when you are doubtful in your ability. After the first day I had carved a hedgehog on an end grain piece of wood that I have since used to block print fabric. Andrew carved a 3 D hedgehog which is sat in our lounge. I would thoroughly recommend this course, ensure you go armed with an idea of what you'd like to achieve. Zoe also sells chisels which is really useful as you can see what type of shape suits you best before committing to a purchase. Great course"

"I attended a one day private workshop with my son and his wife. Zoe was a great teacher, very attentive and knowledgeable, and it was impressive how much we could achieve and learn in just one day. We drove from London and stayed in the farmhouse for a couple of nights and it was a truly lovely stay. The location is beautiful and relaxing: a typical English countryside. Highly recommend it."

"I had never attempted wood carving before but with Zoe's encouragement and support I found that I could both carve and use a range of tools effectively. Really enjoyed the course and would recommend for both beginners and improvers."
