here's some feedback from previous participants
Brilliant Day, thoroughly recommended! 5 * - Claire
Thank you very much for the other day. Great fun and very informative! - Charles
Thank you so very much to you all! Guy had the best day and I'm feeling quite smug that I managed to get him a decent birthday present this year :) He's feeling inspired and is already on about what he'd like to learn next. - Lucy
Amy's spoon carving and bowl turning lessons were very helpful for me. She is a great, attentive and patient teacher. I have written a dissertation on archeological wooden finds in Lithuania, so I wanted to expand my theoretical knowledge with practical experience. Amy, as a woodworking professional, also gave me both knowledge and practical training. - Irute
Amy was super patient and informative. I was able to make my own bowl from beginning to end. - Viktorija
Amy has a lovely teaching manner. Tool angles are critical and subtle when bowl turning and it is invaluable to learn from a master. I learned a huge amount but more importantly came away deeply inspired. - Martin
Thank you so much for a really enjoyable day, a lovely gathering of eager spooners and lovely lunch served in treen :-). Great skills taught by @woodmungler and @villagegreenwoodworking. Keen to have another go - Nicola
It was a great day, @woodmungler and @villagegreenwoodworking were excellent, and welcoming. Lovely venue and fantastic lunch. Thank you, thoroughly recommend this to anyone. - Julian
