Really enjoyed the class. Didn't know what to expect as it was online but I really picked up a lot in such a short space of time. Jo was very informative. I cannot wait to attend in person classes once lockdown is over!

The class was easy to follow online and fun. I received my piece of wood in good time and made a great little spatula, finished in the hour after the class. Thanks for teaching me a fun new skill.

A great class that covered the basics reaqlly well. I feel comfortable using a knife and very happy with my spatula, which didn't take me long to finish after the class. Will definitely do another course.

I loved this course. I learnt new skills and came away with a really good way of taking a break. I can handle a knife safely and I'm looking forward to carving other things. And my spatula is looking surprisingly good! I'm signing up for the wooden spoon next.
