We had a fabulous day with Will, learning new skills and techniques. The books we produced, with their copper covers, were very special and individual as we had used our own designs. Will was patient, attentive and very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this experience.

A lovely day on this course. Great location in the woods with constant bird song! A pleasure to meet Peter and hear his passion for woodwork and see his skills. Also nice to see another course (gate making) on the go and see what other courses involve. A wonderful day outdoors learning to use tools and new techniques. Highly recommend! Thanks so much

What a lovely day! Bill was an engaging, insightful and patient teacher. I feel like I absorbed so much fascinating information during the day, and though I'm a beginner, I never felt foolish when asking questions. So refreshing.

The venue for Bill's new workshop (Ysgol Llawr Betws) is fantastic. Beautifully kitted out workshops and very picturesque setting. He's clearly worked extremely hard at getting everything set up there to make the experience for learners as accessible and relaxed as possible whilst having access to some serious professional standard machinery and materials.

Bill's sensitivity and respect for his Welsh heritage was reflected in the fascinating pictures adorning the work room and the beautifully crafted Welsh stick chairs produced by recent students. It really is very heartening to see a Centre with courses and tuition of this calibre being established here in north Wales.

Thanks for a really enjoyable course, Bill, I definitely have an eye on your future programmes. I wish you every success in this venture.

Diane provides all the equipment and skill required to enable beginners and more experienced to create beautiful piece of art. Diane is encouraging and gives plenty of ideas to help you put your own ideas in to your design. A relaxing and enjoyable day loved making my own glass fused garden ornament. Brilliant day thank you.

A really peaceful and interesting day learning the traditional art of bowl turning in the woods. Incredible location, great teaching and just an all-round lovely experience.

The settings were amazing, the barn was great with the sun flooding in on. Nice crisp April morning.
Paul and Bob had a lot of patience with the entire group. This is definitely for novices to see if leathercraft is for them.
The tools are all ready for you, the templates are easy to follow, if you're not sure about something, these two are more than happy to re explain and in my case critique my method.
A really fun day that went so fast.
I was extremely pleased with my eventual product. Couldn't have been happier.

Alex is a great tutor, enough detail to get the work done yourself but always ready to step in if you're struggling.

Wonderful workshop, amazing tutor, lovely surroundings and delighted with our plant supports. Thank you for a great session!

Joe was so helpful and very experienced in all matters of welding. He gave me great advice and guidance on everything I needed.

Very good course - Matt was very informative and open to questioning at all stages. Immediately went home and went through my tool box - half of it needs to be chucked out! Great course for confidence building diy.

I had such a wonderful time at this lampshade-making course! The whole experience was both relaxing and really rewarding. I loved being guided step-by-step through the process, and it was amazing to leave with a finished lampshade that I actually made myself.

The instructor was fantastic—patient, knowledgeable, and always happy to help or answer questions. They made the whole process feel accessible, even for beginners like me.

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and it was great to meet others who were just as excited to try something creative. Everything was well-organised, with plenty of materials and support throughout.

I’d highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a fun, hands-on activity or wanting to try something new. I’m already thinking about my next design!

I was bought the place on Bobs course by my granddaughter as a Christmas present and birthday present combined and what a present it was, it was so useful as Bob must have the patience of a saint to help me talk about ham fisted I had tried to teach myself and he expelled a lot of the myths I had acquired and taught me properly in a very patient way I went from handshaking beginner to a. relaxed pupil who wanted to do more and the benefits were much appreciated and I would recommend that anyone thinking of taking up pyrography should put one of Bobs courses as a must do the friend ship shown and the excellent lunch provided by Mrs Neil was second to non well-done Bob keep it up and all the best to you both.

I had a fantastic day with Ruby in his forge as a birthday present. He is a personable, patient and supportive teacher as well as a skilled and passionate craftsman.

I came with no forging experience, and left with four pieces I had made myself, some new skills, and a new appreciation of an ancient craft and its history. And a big smile on my face!

Spent a great say day wood turning a bowl on what I believe is known as a treadle lathe or pole lath. A small enthusiastic group with an excellent teacher outside in lovely countryside. Lovely way to spend a day.

Personal and friendly. Very knowledgeable and a good and patient tutor. Kindly steamed my finished throw. Would recommend.

Fanatastic experience and would definitely recommend.
We had a great time and very patient with us especially with me as I have multiple sclerosis.
Well worth it and couldn’t recommend it ended enough.
Thanks very much and we’re looking forward to coming back and glazing it😁

Great venue. Nervous about doing this course but no need. Very reassuring team of Simon and John helped all of us through

Thanks Ted

Thoroughly enjoyed this course. Well organised, nice venue with coffee, scrummy biscuits and cakes provided. Richard gave clear instructions and worked at a steady pace, giving extra help where needed and lots of encouragement. Such a great skill to learn. Everyone came away with 2 pieces of willow work to be proud of. I would highly recommend this. Thank you Richard for all your hard work in making this a great day.

I recently attended a pyrography course led by Kez, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. It was clear that she not only has a deep understanding of the craft but also a real passion for teaching it.

Kez took the time to guide me through each step, offering support and encouragement whenever I needed it. What really stood out was how much she helped me believe in myself. Before the course, I wasn’t confident in my abilities, but her patience and reassurance made me realise that I can do this—and do it well.

The course itself was fantastic. It gave me the skills and confidence to create artwork that I’m genuinely proud of, and it’s made me fall in love with pyrography even more. I now feel inspired to continue developing my skills and pursue it more seriously, possibly even professionally in the future.

The atmosphere was another highlight. Kez made everyone feel completely at ease, and the sessions were filled with laughter, light-hearted moments, and a real sense of enjoyment. It never felt intimidating—just welcoming and fun.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone, whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to improve your skills. Kez is an amazing teacher, and it’s an experience well worth having.
