I also wanted to make a few comments for anyone looking at attending one of these courses. There’s so much that I could say about it and all of it is good. <br /><br />It was great that the training started at the basics to provide a solid foundation to work from whilst also recognising the experience of the group. Having only been turning for a few years, it was great to identify things that I could do better but more importantly to validate everything that I was doing correctly. <br /><br />Having two professionals on hand meant that different techniques were covered along with an explanation of their relative merits. This carried through to the breaks and included non-hollow form topics too. The equipment provided was great; I took the opportunity to gain experience of different tools rather than bringing my own and George’s workshop was amply stocked for this purpose. <br /><br />When I was looking around at courses, I had seen similar prices for one day of tuition with one tutor – the value for money for this course with two of each was superb and warranted a couple of hour drive to attend. Finally, receiving Mark’s book was brilliant too and has been a great read and reference.<br /><br />Essay over – I had a blast, learnt loads, practiced lots and look forward to attending again soon if the spaces aren’t snapped up quickly enough… <br /><br />Thanks.<br />Chris<br />Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714822332840880265.post-79993652246002174852014-07-01T08:00:40.070-07:002014-07-01T08:00:40.070-07:00Thank you Sue I am very pleased you enjoyed our co...Thank you Sue I am very pleased you enjoyed our course.<br />We are only a telephone call away if you need any help and supportGeorge Fowerakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09119875476330238276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714822332840880265.post-17754748069658720512014-07-01T07:58:48.229-07:002014-07-01T07:58:48.229-07:00Brilliant two days which I would recommend to any ...Brilliant two days which I would recommend to any turner regardless of experience.

As always the banter and relaxed atmosphere helped to make this course one that I would definitely recommend to any turner regardless of their skill level. Thanks to both of you and of course Sue who provided the refreshments. xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
