“I have never had any woodwork experience, but the class provides you with technical insights and helps you to appreciate the practicalities of adding different features to create a wooden object. Tim made it really easy with his hands-on approach, helping us to get the steps right, so we could move on to the next. It was great building something three-dimensional. I absolutely recommend the class.”

“The class was excellent! So much fun and it feels great to come home with something that you carved yourself. Tim from The Green Wood Guild was an excellent teacher and made me and everyone else really feel at home in his studio. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone.”

“It's a long day, but it flies by, Tim organises it really well, and everyone walks away with a 3 legged stool. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it. A couple of the bench making class were in with us too, finishing off their benches and that looked great too. The City Farm is fun to walk around at lunch time. You can feed the goats.”

“Really enjoyable and rewarding course. After 8 hours, we all left with a really beautiful and useful stool, made with our own hands. You’ll learn a lot about tools, techniques and your own capabilities - under Tim's expert and patient guidance. Interestingly, the course of 6 people was split evenly both by age (under 30 vs over 50) and gender, which made for a very good mix. This was my 2nd course with Tim - following spatula carving 8 months ago - and I look forward to the next one!”
