Student Testimonials
'Delighted with these wood turning tasters - I'd always wanted to try this and you couldn't find a more patient and thoughtful teacher e.g. all the prepping done in advance so you had time to turn something new each time. I'll be back for more. Thanks Anna!!' - by Sarah
'A very enjoyable experience with opportunity to raise questions helping me decide to take up woodturning as a hobby. Thanks Anna' - by Andrew
'Brilliant experience! I have had a great two days of immersive tutoring by Anna, who is a great teacher with a wealth of experience in the industry. The two days were filled with lots of time on the lathe supported by Anna who readily gave her advice and guidance in an informal and very professional way. Highly recommend this course to anyone interested in wood turning. It'll give you the bug!!!!' - by Paul
