I enjoyed the workshop very much with the teacher Alex, and I did not feel that time passed very quickly. I learned important points about the work of reson, epoxy, and hardener. I hope to continue this journey of education...in the near future.. The teacher, Alex, is helpful, kind, and has a lot of work experience. He also provides all the necessary tools and information. He has a long experience in this work. He is a genius, and I am grateful to him..

Friendly atmosphere, great workshop and instruction. Highly recommend.

Amazing day, great to learn how to use an axe and a lathe. Dave was very sweet and on hand to help a lot, it was the perfect anniversary gift from the hubby

I returned to do Part 2 of this class and enjoyed it just as much as Part 1. Having never done woodworking, it was great fun using all the equipment and turning my work into a finished piece. Richard gave everyone excellent instruction and was really patient and great fun throughout.

Richard is knowledgable, unhurried and eloquent. These qualities make him an excellent teacher. His total enthusiasm for his craft is absolutely apparent and he was a delight to learn from. I attended an introduction to power tools class and we covered best practices in sanding, different types of drills and their uses, screwing into masonry, using a chop saw, jig saw and disc sander. The learning environment was very casual and there was a lot of time for questions and discussion. I look forward to taking another course!

Absolutely fabulous!!! Richard really makes sure you understand the process and most importantly why we do things! The class is a really nice size - relaxed but gives everything you need, as a novice, to get a great introduction and feel enthused to carry on! Can’t wait for the next one!

An excellent day well organised and safely managed. Nice to take a finished item home. A peaceful day Thank you Paul

Have done 2 courses at the river shop, both were excellent courses. Richard who ran the classes has a great work shop for learning and the courses attended were well run and fun. Richard gives indepth knowledge for the courses being run and ensures safety at all times. Will def be attending further courses.

I attended the beginners epoxy resin course part one yesterday morning and part two in the afternoon. Ideally it is better to stagger the 2 classes so that you can continue to work on your own piece, but it is not essential as I found out. The classes were a mix of ages and abilities , with a range of reasons for attending. Some were there for hobby purposes but others were taking the first steps in a new career. The tuition was very informative, Richard encouraged questions and explained clearly the do's and don'ts of Epoxy resin, keeping everyone involved. If you want to do both courses on the same day, there is a cafe on the site which overlooks the Thames , were you are able to enjoy some lunch whilst digesting your morning class. The afternoon is a similar mix of people were you get to finish your workpiece . Again the instruction is very good as you get to use sanders, chopsaws, and routers all very clearly demonstrated so that they can be used correctly and safely. A very enjoyable experience for people of all abilities. Highly recommended .

I so enjoyed four days immersed in learning green woodworking skills. Mat, Graham and Spencer did a brilliant job in taking us through all the steps from selecting the right piece of timber in the woodpile to whittling (or turning) a variety of items as well as how to keep the tools sharp. I'm very pleased with the items I made and the knowledge gained. It's a lovely community.

I really enjoyed the course. The teacher was good, there was a friendly atmosphere and it was great to have a go at creating something using traditional skills and tools.

The class was so so good! Graham was a great teacher, so patient and relaxed. I bought the class for my dad and I for his birthday and we both really enjoyed it! You can take your time when making your bowl, you don’t feel rushed or overwhelmed, and really good energy throughout the day. We were 4 people in the class and it was perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed, thank you!

A really warm, fun and friendly workshop. This was a great experience to share with friends and family.

Really enjoyable day of whittling and wood carving under expert instruction and I now have my own bespoke wooden spoon. Recommend to anyone who wants to experience the meditative joys of wood carving (or just playing with an axe).

Amazing Woodturning Workshop! We had a fantastic time at this woodturning workshop! Terry explained everything clearly and guided us step by step, making it easy to follow even though we had no prior experience. By the end, we each created beautiful wooden bowls we’re really proud of. It was a fun and rewarding experience. Highly recommend!

The one to one class was excellent and very instructive. The bowl turned out well and I felt I had learned a lot. Terry was avery good teacher

Ben was a really patient teacher, and not only showed us how to use the relevant tools, he also provided very interesting and informative background on green wood working. He struck a great balance between not being hand-holding, whilst being always available for us to ask questions / help when we needed it. Even though I was a bit apprehensive going into the course, and this was definitely outside of my comfort zone, this was a fantastic experience and truly suitable for a complete beginner. Thanks so much Ben and we'll definitely be sending family & friends your way!

Fantastic courses! 10/10. Always great friendly relaxed atmosphere, it's not in the least bit intimidating (even if you've done nothing like it before), and you leave proud you made something!
