I have tried in the past without success to pick up crochet but Karen was the perfect teacher, very clear and patient and I managed to get results for first time. Location is lovely in the Lechlade Craft Barn and I would highly recommend to beginners

Went on a fantastic course for Cyanotype with Bridget. It was excellent!, Bridget was so knowledgable and made it easy for you to come away with something you are proud of. It was my first time in doing it as well. Highly, highly recommend, 10/10. Thank you Bridget :) Alison x

As a very novice sewer - I actually made a jacket i am proud to wear in four hours. Charlotte the tutor - - an ex school teacher - (get the job done sort of person), who is guiding, kind, fun and was determined i would go home with a finished piece of work - fabulous teacher - she has given me a great day, plenty of precious information and the best of all - the confidence to know i can do this again on my own….. Would highly recommend

We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. The amount of time for the workshop was perfect, with step by step help when needed. Definitely a beginner level for all. Thank you for the refreshments and it was lovely to go home with our completed pictures.
Run by Meet The Moon Designs, Quainton near Aylesbury, 3.5hrs

Jason is a highly skilled craftsman with decades of experience in this field. He's an entertaining and informative teacher and I personally learnt a lot during the day whilst having a very enjoyable time. I can't recommend this course highly enough.

I booked this course for my partner as a Christmas present and we had the best time! I honestly could not recommend enough!! I've been telling all my friends about it!

I had absolutely no experience of forging when I initially booked, so I wasn't sure whether the knife forging or the blacksmithing experience day would be better suited to myself and my partner. I reached out to Alex and he was incredibly helpful and provided some more information so I could make the decision. I actually think, on reflection, that the information is available on the website but he was very patient in passing it along to me anyway!

Fast forward to yesterday, when we turned up for the course - we had already received an email so we knew what to wear/bring and where to go, meaning the arrival process was really straightforward. Alex welcomed us to the forge very warmly and talked us through the day.

We spent our morning forging, then our afternoon refining the blade and making the handle. Alex was incredibly knowledgeable and patient throughout - he spoke clearly and made the process seem very doable, and was more than happy to answer questions from anyone in the group.

Some parts of the process are more technical, and Alex was more than happy to step in when we asked to make sure we all went home with a beautiful knife. We were running a little tight on time just before lunch, and Alex spent around 10 minutes showing off his experience by perfecting all of our knives (for context, we'd been going for about 3 hours trying to get to the same point!).

As mentioned at the start of my review, I really could not recommend a knife forging day at Hammer and Hound Forge enough! The perfect gift experience for any fantasy lovers or crafty folk - perfect for the dad who is hard to buy for IMO!

We will definitely be looking to take more of Alex's workshops in the future!

Absolutely wonderful day ,the forest is so peaceful and the area to do the basket weaving is delightful ,our teachers Olinda and Matt are perfect in helping everyone ,this is my 4th time and I enjoy it every single time .

ALi - our teacher - was so full of fun facts, and went out of her way to amke the bog book we made interesting.
It was a challenge to make a 240 page, leather bound book, and with Ali's guidance and support everyone did just that.
At the end, she was super generous - everyone went home with more pamphlets they'd made and spare items off the table to go home and do more book binding.

Thank you Ali. Would happily recommend to friends.

We had a wonderful day. The tutor explained everything very clearly and was very helpful and encouraging. The workshop was very well equipped with all the necessary tools to hand. There was a wide choice of coloured and textured glass for us to use. We were extremely happy with the Tiffany style t light holders we made.

The sawmill site is interesting to visit. Excellent cafe, gift shop full of genuine fabulous handmade gifts. Kate is an excellent teacher. She shared so much of her valuable experience with us. Highly knowledgeable and patient to explain when I didn't understand. An excellent day where I learnt a lot. I will be returning for the sharpening course.

The best day making an axe for my Viking enthusiast son! Richard was very supportive and taught my son a few new skills ! Will definitely be rebooking with him 100%. Couldn’t recommend the craft course enough. Thanks Richard!

I did an 'air dry clay mould' course.
I was welcomed by Jan and she explained what was invovled as I had never done this type of course before.
I was offered a drink and snacks during this 2 hour session.
She showed me a large container full of different moulds so I could pick out which ones I would like to use. There were so many to choose from - flowers, nature, decorative edging ones etc. I made quite a lot of items, so now I have to wait until they are completely dry, before painting and varnishing them all.

We did the 1hr pottery wheel lesson which was Fantastic lots of guidance. Excellent value for money would definitely recommend.

We had a fabulous day with Will, learning new skills and techniques. The books we produced, with their copper covers, were very special and individual as we had used our own designs. Will was patient, attentive and very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this experience.

A lovely day on this course. Great location in the woods with constant bird song! A pleasure to meet Peter and hear his passion for woodwork and see his skills. Also nice to see another course (gate making) on the go and see what other courses involve. A wonderful day outdoors learning to use tools and new techniques. Highly recommend! Thanks so much

What a lovely day! Bill was an engaging, insightful and patient teacher. I feel like I absorbed so much fascinating information during the day, and though I'm a beginner, I never felt foolish when asking questions. So refreshing.

The venue for Bill's new workshop (Ysgol Llawr Betws) is fantastic. Beautifully kitted out workshops and very picturesque setting. He's clearly worked extremely hard at getting everything set up there to make the experience for learners as accessible and relaxed as possible whilst having access to some serious professional standard machinery and materials.

Bill's sensitivity and respect for his Welsh heritage was reflected in the fascinating pictures adorning the work room and the beautifully crafted Welsh stick chairs produced by recent students. It really is very heartening to see a Centre with courses and tuition of this calibre being established here in north Wales.

Thanks for a really enjoyable course, Bill, I definitely have an eye on your future programmes. I wish you every success in this venture.

Diane provides all the equipment and skill required to enable beginners and more experienced to create beautiful piece of art. Diane is encouraging and gives plenty of ideas to help you put your own ideas in to your design. A relaxing and enjoyable day loved making my own glass fused garden ornament. Brilliant day thank you.

A really peaceful and interesting day learning the traditional art of bowl turning in the woods. Incredible location, great teaching and just an all-round lovely experience.

The settings were amazing, the barn was great with the sun flooding in on. Nice crisp April morning.
Paul and Bob had a lot of patience with the entire group. This is definitely for novices to see if leathercraft is for them.
The tools are all ready for you, the templates are easy to follow, if you're not sure about something, these two are more than happy to re explain and in my case critique my method.
A really fun day that went so fast.
I was extremely pleased with my eventual product. Couldn't have been happier.

Alex is a great tutor, enough detail to get the work done yourself but always ready to step in if you're struggling.
