    Brilliant day with Martin. Very skilled at supporting beginners to achieve good results and left with a huge sense of achievement. Also appreciated the flexibility after an accident prevented me attending the original date. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you

    Commission accepted in October, needed for 2nd March. Was told by email and in person would be ready by Christmas. Kept delaying, said it was a difficult piece to make but could be done. Piece ready the day it was needed. NOTHING like the photograph I had sent. Had to refuse to accept it. Ruined an 80th birthday surprise I had waited over 4 months for. Shouldn't accept commissions he cannot make.

    Martin is a great host and teacher. I bought the day class as a Christmas present for my other half and she couldn't have loved it more. We got to make a whole host of different things and Martin was really happy to help teach anything we could think of. Time goes so fast as you just get engrossed in the skills and techniques you learn throughout the day. Plus you get to keep all of your creations! Amazing experience!

    We were able to watch Martin at work and chat about the process. He also has a small showroom where you can buy his work at very reasonable prices.
