I have enjoyed wood turning from the first day l picked up a chisel and with that experience I very much enjoy teaching the craft. Teaching woodturning has given me the chance to meet such a cross section of interesting people, from an international air cargo owner, retired police officer to a British harbour pilot at Dover, plus I taught wood turning at HM Prison in Kent, which l found so rewarding.
I have just recently moved into larger premises on the same estate.
New images of the workshop to follow.   
I have four lathes, two of which have swivel heads, this method is very useful for the students when turning a bowl. .
The courses cover the use of the chucking systems, spindle work, bowl turning  and hollow work with reference to the skew chisel, sharpening is also incorporated, Which I think is paramount. All creating a relaxed environment, but with safety practice in place. 
I teach students with not having any experience to several years experience, all on a one to one basis. Students may bring their own chisels etc, if they prefer, but a large cross section of chisels are at hand. My workshop is on the Borde Hill estate in West Sussex 
The day starts at  9.30am and finishing time  4.30pm.
Lunch is at 1.00pm with freshly bought sandwiches to the individual's choice, plus tea and coffee. All wood, abrasives and polishes are supplied on the day, but if a larger piece of wood is required that will be charged at cost. The fee for the ONE to ONE day course is £170.00.
