Really enjoyable session. Roli is a great teacher and the people in the class were really easy to get on with as well :) In this class I attempted to make a spoon, didn't go exactly to plan but it was completely my fault. I would 100% recommend this class, Roli is brilliant and it was a really nice relaxing way to spend the day!

Roli was AMAZING. We went as a couple and both had so much fun. We learned to use the relevant tools and had such a great time with the group. Excellent value for money, very memorable and 100% going back again. Thank you Roli! :)

Incredibly informative and hands on course. Great exposure to different type of wood, tools and techniques. The instructor Rolli is incredibly kind and accommodating. The workshop is well provisioned and the course is well prepared especially new students just beginning and looking for a first taste. Very positive and collaborative environment. I left feeling very happy with the experience. I would definitely recommend!
