“I loved this workshop, Anna is such a bubbly person - she made it fun.” Carol

“Workshop was top-notch and the outcome was even better than I could have imagined. A great experience all around.” Kate

Really fascinating hands on morning of spoon carving. Anna’s place is amazing, her dog incredibly friendly and her teaching clear and accessible. We’ve been inspired to continue making spoons - already ordered an axe! Beth

Great afternoon spent in a stunning location. Anna was really lovely and super knowledgeable. Would thoroughly recommend. Sophie
