“I feel really lucky to have had a private workshop with Alma.
Alma is an extremely talented and knowledgeable artisan. I felt inspired hearing her story that 13 years ago she started teaching herself woodworking before going to classes and getting formally qualified. I could tell she was a perfectionist and she ensured I was using the best technique at every step of the process. I have never done a one-on-one workshop before and I'm so happy it was with her. My piece could not have turned out so professionally if not for her tutelage. I hope to return to Melbourne soon for more workshops with her.
(Please note: the photo made me think I was making a bowl but a bowl was not an option for a first session. I got to choose between a candlestick, vase or lamp base and I went with the lamp base).”
“I really enjoyed this class, Alma explained and demonstrated everything perfectly so that I was able create a lovely vase. It was also good to get an explanation of the features of the lathe and the comparisons with other manufacturers”
“I had such a fantastic experience at this wood turning workshop! I genuinely learned a lot the instructor was super patient, knowledgeable and made the whole process really informative and fun. I’d highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in learning Woodturning! I was definitely beginner coming in and absolutely love the piece I took home with me!”
“Was a great class and had a fun time. The teacher was amaxing, explaining every step and helped with what is a very difficult skill. She was very informative and assisted when i needed and made it very enjoyable. Finished with an amazing scultpure.”
“Alma was a thorough and excellent instructor, covering the basics of the lathe, tools, materials an safety before guiding me through choosing a design for my piece. The session was quite intensive, working through all the techniques of roughing out, shaping and finishing, with a satisfying end product. Highly recommended.”
“A wonderful workshop. Alma is so experienced and patient. I am delighted with my creation and will definitely be heading back for the bowl making workshop. Can't recommend this highly enough.”
