A really lovely day spent in Terry’s envy-inducing workshop. We were very pleased with our bowls. One of us was a total beginner and Terry was patient and kind as I got to grips with the tools. The more experienced of the two of us learnt new skills and tips for future projects. Terry was very hospitable and a pleasure to have teach us. Highly recommend.

Absolutely excellent day. Terry took us through everything and had answers for all the (many) questions we had. We both have some woodwork experience (minimal with turning), but frankly I'd recommend this for a beginner too - he's a great teacher!
Paula - 5 April 2022
We had a great day with Terry and learnt so much! Having Terry all to ourselves meant the workshop was perfectly pitched for our ability. Terry shared lots of his knowledge during the day which was so interesting. We both left with beautiful bowls and are looking forward to having another go at turning one day soon. Many thanks!

Terry was great at guiding my partner and me (complete beginners!) through the process of creating our first-ever wooden bowls! At the end of the day we created two lovely pieces we can be proud of and cherish forever. Thank you, Terry!

My daughter and I had a joint class with Terry in May 2019. It was excellent. He was patient, friendly and helpful and we each came away with a beautiful bowl

Thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, thank you Terry.
Andrew - 1 April 2019
For my girlfriend's birthday, I bought her the bowl making class for. 2 Terry is an excellent teacher and very patient. We'd never done any bowl turning before but Terry took us through every part of the process and promised we'd get a really nice bowl each at the end. This was definitely the case as the bowls are beautiful and impressed all my friends and family. The whole day lasts over 7 hours and includes lunch so definitely value for money. Couldn't recommend enough.

My daughter bought my wife and I a wooden bowl making course for two for my birthday.
The day was truly excellent and exceeded our expectations.
Terry’s workshop is fully equipped , spacious and professional. He made us feel very welcome and outlined what the day would involve , the safety features and areas that might be challenging to complete beginners and instils confidence.
He had a great selection of wooden blocks to choose from and the many examples of his own work that are in the workshop are very inspiring.
We were both truly amazed and delighted with our finished product.
Many thanks Terry.

I bought a one day wood turning class for my husband and I for his birthday present and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Terry informed us at the beginning of the day we would come away with two bowls that would be high quality and this was definitely the case despite having never attempted anything like this before. We took turns on the lathe using different tools and techniques to craft our bowls from teak and cherry and love the results. Will definitely come back to the craft at some point in the future and have recommended Terry to friends who were interested.
Robin - 3 March 2019
Starting as complete beginners my daughter and I learned how to make a wooden bowl each from scratch in a day. Terry has expert knowledge and he communicated this in a friendly and relaxed way at the right pace. We could select from a choice of woods; I decided on Ash and my daughter on Cherry. Taking turns at each stage, we both made a bowl to be proud of, finished to an impressively high standard. The workshop at Terry's home is an Aladdin's cave of top class turning equipment and craftwork. We highly recommend his class.
Ed - 3 March 2019
It was a fun and informative day. Terry is clearly very knowledgeable about his subject and a good teacher. I ended up with a very nice bowl and I'm keen to have another go at wood turning in the future.
Chris & Nick - 1 March 2019
A really great day, with brilliant results. A unique present which we really enjoyed. Terry was very knowledgable, patient and ensured you really got to use all the tools correctly. Great 1 on 1 tuition Terry demonstrated great experience and enthusiasm for his skills. Really want to take our new skills further and Terry gave lots of advice on how to do this.
Thanks for a great day. Love our bowls

We had a great time making bowls with Terry. He's an excellent teacher, very patient and really takes time to help you make sure your bowls are properly professionally finished. The day was enjoyable and informative, and we're so pleased with our bowls. I'd love to get a lathe now. We just need to get space for one first.

I was given an introduction to wood turning for a Birthday present by my daughter. Thank you to Terry for such an interesting, challenging and fulfilling day, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and came away with two quite different and professional looking bowls (works of art) which are impressing all our friends. Terry is a massively experienced wood turner but still patient and thorough explaining all stages of the process including the necessary safety aspects working with a large and very impressive lathe. The bowls were totally our own work, but Terry made sure our work was up to spec by following our progress and offering gentle hints and tips as we worked. The day went so fast that I could do it all again.
Alisa - 18 February 2019
What a fantastic experience! Terry was really good at explaining the various steps, patient and knowledgeable. Both my husband and I really enjoyed it and we are very proud of the two bowls we have created. Thank you Terry!
Sophie - 7 January 2019
The workshop was brilliant. Terry was friendly, patient and very knowledgeable. I felt as though I learned a huge amount during the 7 our class. It was fun, interesting, just challenging enough and a great experience overall - and I made a beautiful bowl to take home, something to really feel proud of. Highly recommended!
Arnau - 28 November 2018
I always wanted to try wood turning and this was an excellent opportunity. I highly recommend this workshop. Terry is an experienced teacher that guides you through the process explaining each step in detail. I also wanted to remark the top quality of the equipment Terry has, I really loved his shop. We are proud of our bowls. Thanks Terry!
Tak - 3 November 2018
Really lovely day, making a wooden bowl. Terry was a great teacher, who was very patient and informative. Carving into the wood and sanding down the wooden humps on the turning machine was so satisfying. Also, so nice have such a smooth feeling bowl at the end of the day.
Baoyan - 3 November 2018
It was a very fun day. I have learnt the technique of turning a piece of wood into a nice and smooth bowl in a day! I am very proud of my bowl! Terry is a super friendly, fun, patient and informative teacher. The workshop is really cool and relaxed. Highly recommended!
