Testimonials
I had the pleasure of attending the introduction to sharpening course with Alex recently. My immediate impression was how well organised everything was. The communication was excellent before the course and this continued during the course itself. Alex is an excellent tutor with a very clear and consistent approach to teaching and practising the skills needed to sharpen your spoon making tools. Thank you Alex for enabling me to make real progress with my sharpening. - PM
A great course, carefully thought through and prepared by Alex. Clear explanations and demos at each stage, but kept brief enough to allow plenty of time to get on with the job, with individual help as and when needed. Highly recommended. — RM
Attended the log to spoon carving workshop. Great venue, good facilities, excellent teaching from Alex in a very inclusive and relaxed format. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and came away with all the learning I wanted and more. SW
