It was wonderful to be working outdoors, in the beautiful surroundings of Abney Park. There were five of us doing the workshop with instructor Jo and volunteer helper Paul and all the work was carried out in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The bowl carving workshop gave us an excellent introduction to the use of different tools for working with green wood. Jo was an excellent instructor: she kept an eye on us all and gave instruction without being intrusive, with little bits of help here and there where necessary to ensure we would have a completed item by the end of the day. I will be coming back to London Green Wood for more!"},{"name":"sylvie","reviewValue":8,"createdAt":"2018-06-08T13:08:27.044Z","reviewTxt":"So wonderful to work with natural materials and feel the accomplishment of the making something on the day. \nWe would have loved a much more informative workshop however. More information about different woods, tools and their purpose, how to achieve different results and what to expect while using the tools we have. We know one can ask but it is not the same as experiencing a workshop that is more structured in terms of knowledge. Plus we are introverts and rely on the teacher to lead the class rather than students to know which questions will bring more appropriate results.\nWe have got a bowl but neither of us knows whether we would know which wood to use next, we don't know how to take care of the wood afterwards and what to do in case of trouble shooting. We have only been assured that nothing bad will happen. \nWe don't know where to get tools from and how to acquire them and we don't know what we could use this experience for next. Another bowl would be great, but it would be nice to know there is a follow up or continuation if we enjoyed the workshop and would wish to learn more.\nIt was lovely to have a very laid back approach but we didn't think that would compromise the overall amount of education.\nJo and Dave are really nice people. They both seemed really tired towards the end of the day, so we hope they are all well and happy. We wish them the very best of luck in the future with their workshops. xxx"},{"name":"Mark","reviewValue":10,"createdAt":"2018-06-24T21:03:05.017Z","reviewTxt":"Great day spent carving a bowl.

Jo guided the group expertly, adapting the demonstrated techniques according to dexterity, physical capability so everyone had a bowl to be proud of at the end. I'd recommend this course.

We promise a beautiful setting, friendly people, the satisfaction of learning new skills and a fire when it gets chilly. We run courses for adults, for groups and for families. We also run a twice weekly 'Wood Club' community workshop and monthly volunteering days to build equipment at the workshop.","schoolId":"EogxRvB7SehPodWdG","category":"crafts","subcategory":"woodworking","summaryDuration":"7 hour workshop","abilityLevel":"Intermediate","notes":"We have no indoor space and will be working outside in all weathers (under a tarp if it rains) so please come prepared.
