“I spent a wonderful day with Ian, learning about some of the history of woodworking crafts and being shown some of the old-style tools used. I then practiced skills that would be used later in the day by making an ash mallet, before moving on to the main theme of making a beautiful greenwood stool from elm and ash. My woodworking skills are very limited, but despite this I was able to produce a piece of furniture that I am proud of with Ian’s expert guidance. Thoroughly recommended.”

“Had a great day making a stool with Ian, learning how to use the various tools. Was very good at explaining their use and demonstrating. Great solid piece of furniture that will last a long time!”

“The green woodworking course was a birthday present from my wife. I do have some DIY skills but haven’t made anything “creative” with wood for a very long time. The plan for the day was to make three legged stool using old unmechanised skills, and that’s exactly what we did. Ian is a brilliant and supportive teacher who enabled me to create a hand carved mallet (which works!), then a beautiful stool which I’m very proud of. I’d very much recommend the day to anyone who wants to learn some practical woodworking skills in a very “chilled” way. ”
