What our students are saying about us…
“despite being sub zero outside, your workshop provided a warm, friendly and practical learning environment. It was quickly apparent that you are not only a talented craftsman and designer, but also an excellent tutor and communicator.
Our project was challenging yet achievable under your clear and patient instruction. There’s nothing better than a hands on experience. It offers a better understanding of technique and the confidence to use the machinery.
I never imagined I would be leaving your workshop with a unique and beautiful mirror I can honestly claim to be ‘all my own work’!
It was a long day, but so worth it. I learnt so much that I’m inspired, thank you!'“
