I participated in this course over the weekend & thoroughly enjoyed myself, it was well run & an immense amount of fun. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in carving. It was a full day that passed extremely quickly. The two tutors were friendly and a lot of fun. Give it a go.

I had the best day learning about pounamu, and creating my own toki necklace. The course had a relaxing atmosphere, and the instructors took genuine interest in all of the students. Highly recommended.
