These classes are perfect for a first taste of woodwork – or equally suitable if you've got some experience and just fancy a lovely morning, in good company, trying out techniques that are a little bit different and making something attractive to take home. They take place in the calm environment of Helmsley Arts Centre.
This was a great introduction to whittling. We both thoroughly enjoyed the morning and were very pleased with our achievement after a few short hours and Tom’s excellent tutoring. Many thanks Tom.
Thank you Tom! I really enjoyed the workshop especially your attitude of do it your own way, whilst also giving non intrusive guidance and support.
Very informative and enjoyable taster class Tom, you are obviously passionate about your craft. Looking forward to learning more, a regular class would be great.
Helmsley is a beautiful historic market town between York and the coast, on the edge of the North York Moors national park. It's the starting point for incredible walks and has lots of accommodation, interesting independent shops and fantastic places to eat. I moved here with my family earlier this year and can't recommend it enough as a place to spend some very relaxing time. If you're thinking of making a trip out of it, let me know and I'll send you some recommendations for what to check out after class! The arts centre is right in the middle of the town, just a short walk through a pretty archway from the market square.
