A very good experience. Liz is a great teacher and in the one day course, you get to take away a few pieces of completed turning. Highly recommend this and would like to continue this new activity.

I had a great days tuition from Liz at the end of May. We covered the principles of both spindle and bowl turning and I walked a way with 3 pieces I had made all of which I would be happy to have on my shelf at home. The day was followed up with a great email with loads of links and information. Thanks Liz

Never having done any turning but seduced by online videos of gorgeous looking bowls, I wanted to have a full day's practical experience before considering woodturning as a hobby - and, as a result of the hands-on, no nonsense tuition, patience and passion that Liz brought to the day as well as enthusiastically answering my millions of questions - I am now the proud owner of my own lathe, tools, safety gear and (very important) sharpening jig and grinder! What a brilliant introduction to a craft that will undoubtedly take many years to master but so very rewarding. Thank you Liz!

Liz was great. I just had a beginners lesson and went in asking to make some egg cups. In hindsight, this was a bit too adventurous for a complete novice. However, Liz accommodated my request and I was very happy with the finished articles. She listened, answered my novice questions and explained more than I was expecting. Highly recommended for others wishing to have a beginners lesson.

We had a great day wooturning. Liz provided great tution and guidence during our day there. She was very patient and gave good demonstrations. We were both very pleased with the results we turned from the wooden blanks. This is a great introductory course if you want to see what wood turning is all about and try your hand.

Myself and my partner had a days woodturning with Liz. It was a fantastic experience. Neither of us had ever done any wood turning but Liz is a great teacher, guiding you professionally but gently through all the steps you need to know to start your wood turning journey and putting you at ease throughout the experience. We made two items and have been telling all our friends about the day. The follow up information provided is really helpful too to give you ideas of how to continue on the right track.Thanks again. Teresa and Doug.

I had a great 1 day course with Liz that really helped me get to grips with the essentials of wood turning. Using the various techniques on the day, I ended up making a mushroom, tea light holder and a bowl, all of which turned out very nicely. Since then I've been busy on my hobby lathe at home making some great pieces that all the family will getting for Christmas this year !

Liz is a fantastic teacher and I had a great introduction into the world of wood turning. I learned a lot about the tools, about wood and I was able to make something on the wood lathe after just a 2 hour lesson. Liz is very knowledgeable and patient and I would certainly recommend this introductory course.

A very insightful 2 hour session with Liz was great! She was very accommodating to a complete novice. This introduction has given me even more enthusiasm to take the leap forward and get tooled up. Thanks Liz.
