Meg reviewed: Stone carving one day taster session

"I went to Jane’s one day taster session in stone carving and it was brilliant! I loved the workshop space, the techniques and tools, the size of the class, and Barney the dog who popped in & out for cuddles. The location is ideal, near the town centre and parking close by too. Jane’s a very talented maker, very friendly and helpful - our class were complete beginners in stone carving, and we all felt comfortable to ask questions and just give it a go! Thanks for a wonderful day, I would highly recommend this class to anyone 😊"

Scott W reviewed: Chopping & Serving Boards Workshop

"I absolutely loved this course! In just one day, I learned so much while creating a beautiful chopping board that I’m genuinely proud to use and display. The selection of hardwoods was stunning, and Vas’s guidance on grain matching and design really made each piece feel unique. Vas explained everything clearly, making even complex tools like the table saw and router feel approachable and safe for a beginner. I travelled from Newcastle with my brother-in-law and it was really worth our time. Having recently completed several DIY projects at home - including a garden pergola, wall panelling, a media unit, and garage shelving, as well as helping friends and family with similar builds - I truly valued the balance of hands-on practice and expert guidance from Vas. The course helped me develop my woodworking journey further and gain the confidence to create more refined, high-quality pieces. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced woodworker. It was also a pleasure to be part of the local creative community where the studio is based, with the opportunity to connect with other business owners who run courses in the area."

DEMOD Design Workshop responded:

"Thank you so much, Scott! It was a pleasure having you and Jonny on my course. I am glad you enjoyed it, but most importantly, I was truly impressed with the quality of your boards! I hope your woodworking journey continues and I’d be really happy to assist you in your future endeavors."
