Big Tree Pals - what they have to say about our courses

Done a days course, also a wk/end both times a fantastic experience. It's hands on working with greenwood, tools and methods used a hundred yrs. or more. Advice is on hand but you are the designer to let your ideas run wild. The staff are great also the banter and there's plenty of that ! To work with wood is to harmonise with part of nature, chill let the stress evaporate and tune into natures greenwood. The feeling at the end of course is so uplifting when you see final product, that you have made. I'd recommend anybody - everybody - to try a course, I'll be back. Big Tree Society - Full marks !!

I spent the weekend doing green wood working to produce my own working horse - the whole experience was fantastic and inspirational - a must for anyone with even the slightest interest in working with one of the most beautiful material, wood in a wonderful setting and with a great teacher.

Brilliant! Can't recommend these courses highly enough. I've made too chunky ash stools and an awesome willow sculptural bench to date & can't wait to discover what my next creation will be on my next visit. The atmosphere is wonderful. The teachers are always willing to help and pass on their extensive knowledge with accompanying good humoured banter. The venue @ Harestanes is magnificent. I also recommend allowing time for a walk around the surrounding area. I will be back!

Had an amazing weekend with excellent tuition and I'm still stunned and proud every day when I see the chair that I made - 'that I made' is what I have to keep reminding myself. From arriving on Saturday morning and starting with logs and branches to leaving on Sunday evening with a beautiful piece of furniture. You spend the day working outdoors, with your hands and end the day with the feeling of satisfaction. I would recommend this to anyone disillusioned with sitting behind a desk all day!
