Alex was really knowledgeable and the session was very relaxed and enjoyable. The studio was also a lovely space to be in. It's definitely made me want to try woodblock again and I feel a lot more confident to do so.

My friend and I had a brilliant day with Alex learning the art of woodcut printmaking. Alex was so knowledgable and welcoming. We had a brilliant time and are planning to return in the future!

We loved the class with Alex and bought a couple of cutting tool sets from him to continue printing at home. Alex is a great teacher and we had plenty of time to get creative with our wood boards to take home several prints.

A really wonderful way to spend a Monday evening. A really chilled environment to learn a new skill and leave with a beautiful print. Alex is a relaxing host so you never feel you are running out of time and he gives a lot of great advice and artist recommendations
Peter - 7 June 2023
I wish to make rubber stamps by pouring liquid rubber over the surface of my wood cuts. When the rubber has set, the stamp will be pressed into soft clay. When the clay has dried a little, decorating slip will be painted onto the clay, then scraped back to reveal the print. The desired size of the print is 19 x 7cm. I hope this is possible

Amazing experience, would definitely recommend it.
Alex was a great teacher.
Very nice studio with lots of space.
Really enjoyed learning the woodcutting techniques and playing with different colours and papers to print our blocks.
Y - 6 May 2022
This workshop was a fantastic and new experience for me and my husband. We enjoyed every moment from learning how to use wood cutting/carving tools and techniques to hand printing our own designs. Alex is an excellent teacher, who is passionate about his art, the art of wood cutting and printmaking, and has the desire to pass it onto others. We have been initiated in this new art form expertly. And we bought two sets of wood carving tools and blocks to continue our progress. His studio also has a wonderful library collection of books on the subject. Now is the time to learn new things, and Alex's class is a great place to begin.

James Wilson - 7 March 2022
What a wonderful way to spend a few hours. Knowledgable and patient, Alex is a great tutor and host. The space, light and views from the studio make it even more worth it. I’ve got the wood cut bug that’s for sure. Cannot recommend it enough!
Josh Kemp - 19 February 2022
Amazing course in an amazing studio. Alex was a great instructor and we were cutting away in no time. This is a skill I’ve been wanting to learn for a while, and I left feeling like I had understood the fundamentals and would be able to do it on my own. Really friendly atmosphere, I would recommend this to anyone with an interest in learning printing

Fantastic evening learning woodcut printmaking with Alex (July 2021). He was a very welcoming host, is hugely knowledgeable on the topic, and he very clearly explains the materials, processes and techniques so that we complete beginners were making art by the end of the evening. A very informative and fun evening. Very highly recommended.

Had the best evening session with Alex learning all about woodcut printing! I couldn't have asked for a better teacher, especially with his experience & teaching method. He explained everything so clearly, gave great background to the history of printing & I came home with prints that I love. Would 100% recommend & hope to do some more printing with him again soon!
John - 24 February 2020
This was a fantastic day’s enjoyment -great teacher who offered guidance and ideas in a very relaxed way without imposing or judging. Everything prepared in advance and waiting for us. Great hospitality and a chance to produce something real and tangible at the end of the day. I can’t recommend this course too highly. My two fellow “Students” were inspiring and great company for a day I would happily repeat. Many thanks Alex for investing so much time and effort in us in such a quiet unassuming way. Inspirational.
Deirdre - 27 January 2020

We had such a great time at Alex's evening workshop! He has a beautiful studio and he put on a delicious spread of veggie food. My partner and I managed to produce some prints we were really pleased with, and enjoyed the process of learning about the tools, practising carving and then trying different prints. I would highly recommend this workshop.

Thanks for such a lovely day! It was great to learn all about woodcutting in such a relaxed environment, surrounded by lots of inspiring prints (and unusual ornaments!). Alex is a very friendly and knowledgable host, and obviously really dedicated to his craft...can definitely recommend.
