“Amazing class!!! Tim made the class relaxed, enjoyable, and informative for my 12 year old son and myself. He explained clearly, step by step, how to build the stool, from selecting the wood for the legs and seat to scraping for finishing. My son was smiling from ear to ear as he carried his stool home. Worth every penny.”

“This class was a present for my great niece so I joined in too. It's so satisfying to come home with something useful that I've made myself. Our tutor was patient and encouraging, and bailed me out of a hole when I messed up. And on the tube home I couldn't resist a bit of "show and tell". We both really enjoyed our day. ADJ”
