I was bought the place on Bobs course by my granddaughter as a Christmas present and birthday present combined and what a present it was, it was so useful as Bob must have the patience of a saint to help me talk about ham fisted I had tried to teach myself and he expelled a lot of the myths I had acquired and taught me properly in a very patient way I went from handshaking beginner to a. relaxed pupil who wanted to do more and the benefits were much appreciated and I would recommend that anyone thinking of taking up pyrography should put one of Bobs courses as a must do the friend ship shown and the excellent lunch provided by Mrs Neil was second to non well-done Bob keep it up and all the best to you both.

I had a fantastic day with Ruby in his forge as a birthday present. He is a personable, patient and supportive teacher as well as a skilled and passionate craftsman.

I came with no forging experience, and left with four pieces I had made myself, some new skills, and a new appreciation of an ancient craft and its history. And a big smile on my face!

Spent a great say day wood turning a bowl on what I believe is known as a treadle lathe or pole lath. A small enthusiastic group with an excellent teacher outside in lovely countryside. Lovely way to spend a day.

Personal and friendly. Very knowledgeable and a good and patient tutor. Kindly steamed my finished throw. Would recommend.

Fanatastic experience and would definitely recommend.
We had a great time and very patient with us especially with me as I have multiple sclerosis.
Well worth it and couldn’t recommend it ended enough.
Thanks very much and we’re looking forward to coming back and glazing it😁

Great venue. Nervous about doing this course but no need. Very reassuring team of Simon and John helped all of us through

Thanks Ted

Thoroughly enjoyed this course. Well organised, nice venue with coffee, scrummy biscuits and cakes provided. Richard gave clear instructions and worked at a steady pace, giving extra help where needed and lots of encouragement. Such a great skill to learn. Everyone came away with 2 pieces of willow work to be proud of. I would highly recommend this. Thank you Richard for all your hard work in making this a great day.

I recently attended a pyrography course led by Kez, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. It was clear that she not only has a deep understanding of the craft but also a real passion for teaching it.

Kez took the time to guide me through each step, offering support and encouragement whenever I needed it. What really stood out was how much she helped me believe in myself. Before the course, I wasn’t confident in my abilities, but her patience and reassurance made me realise that I can do this—and do it well.

The course itself was fantastic. It gave me the skills and confidence to create artwork that I’m genuinely proud of, and it’s made me fall in love with pyrography even more. I now feel inspired to continue developing my skills and pursue it more seriously, possibly even professionally in the future.

The atmosphere was another highlight. Kez made everyone feel completely at ease, and the sessions were filled with laughter, light-hearted moments, and a real sense of enjoyment. It never felt intimidating—just welcoming and fun.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone, whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to improve your skills. Kez is an amazing teacher, and it’s an experience well worth having.

Sarah Bradley’s silver ring course is super fun and easy going.
You start with a bit of silver and end up with a ring you actually made yourself (very satisfying). Clear, relaxed teaching and a great intro to jewellery making.
Sarah is amazing, very friendly and makes everything feel relaxed and enjoyable. Would recommend to any couples looking to do something a little different together.

We thoroughly enjoyed making baubles with Steve and Angie. Four of us- 2 adults and 2 children took the course. We were made to feel welcome and everything was light hearted and well explained. We got to choose and incorporate 2 different colours in our baubles, heat the glass and blow the air into the baubles. The children were looked after and supported well. We were very pleased with the experience and the 4 lovely baubles that we ended up with. Many thanks!!

I had a fantastic time at my Wire Wrapped Crystal Necklace Workshop with Jo. She is a very kind and patient teacher. I was very happy with the pendent I made and look forward to future workshops.

Well organised, updates nearer the time.
A beautiful location and Alison and Liz were friendly, welcoming hosts.
The day surpassed expectations. There was the right balance of info/ techniques and practical. After the initial input, guidance was given on an individual basis based on design and each individual’s needs. Great value for money.

Went to Anvil Forge
Like some of the others attending the experience day this was a birthday present and one of the best, what a great day, got to experience using hammers and tongs with red hot metals and and an array of other tools and came away with a poker (everyone does) and I made a metal swallow which I am very pleased with. A real friendly helpful team and I have been singing their praises ever since. Go for it.

"Excellent course from a great charismatic teacher.
Each task was clearly outlined with full safety in mind. Then we were able to copy those techniques up to the stage demonstrated. Then the next stage was made clear, and so on. We did four projects to teach basic wood turning skills. I feel, as a total beginner, confident to tackle bowl, vases and other items.
The course was bought for me as a present from my wife, thanks it was brilliant. Fun, satisfying and instructive.
Mick is a great teacher"

The Children's whittling class by Alan from Alien Spoons is an excellent course. Alan is very skilled, knowledgeable, and goes at the child's pace. He makes sure that the parent understands the different techniques that the child learns in order to supervise for safety after the course, which I found very thoughtful. My 9 year old loved it. I would highly recommend the course.

Had a really good day working with Andrew on the chair. He was amiable and patient with my list of woodworking skills! There was plenty of opportunity to use the machinery and he kept the hot drinks coming.

I'm happy with the end product, but I still need to paint it. I would definitely recommend this course as you get a finished product to take home, which feels like a real achievement. Due to the nature of the course and the size of the workshop you will probably be the only student there, which means you get one-to-one attention.

The only tip I would give is wear warm clothes as the workshop is understandably cold.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable course, which was superbly presented by Andy. He made everything so possible and I was so impressed with the outcome of my Raku pottery and the fact that I came away with three completed pottery projects was unbelievable

An excellent day - Jason and the other helpers were friendly and informative. The day was a gift from my wife who adores Penguins so for my project piece for the day I had to make a penguin in stained glass which she loves.

This was an amazing day; I cant believe what we managed to create in one day. Jo is such a skilled teacher and she gets the balance between helping students and allowing creativity perfectly. The method she uses is one I have never experienced before but it is so effective when created with all the help offered at the course.
The day flew by and I walked away with a beautiful sitting hare for the garden. I have to say this is one of the best workshops I have ever done.
