"We are so glad this opportunity was made available to our son. He loves his woodwork classes!! Great class sizes, calm environment, engaging projects whilst gaining valuable knowledge and skills working with quality hand tools. I would happily recommend a short trip to Ladysmith and a course with Byron – capable, calm and a vessel of knowledge and experience. We look forward to next year's offerings." Annelisa Corboy "My daughter, Kathryn, has really enjoyed woodwork classes with Byron. She was clearly enjoying them so much that, after woodwork one week, she commented that the classes should be longer - like two hours instead of one. When I told her the classes are actually two hours, she was amazed - time flies when you're having fun! Byron is a knowledgeable, clear and engaging teacher who obviously enjoys what he does - this, in turn, makes the classes enjoyable for all the students. By the end of term, the students all came home with three pieces of woodwork which had been completed to a high standard and with which they were very pleased." Juanita Cox Having woodwork classes at Ladysmith was very convenient. Byron was very chill. He would answer any questions we had and he didn't get cross if you dropped a tool on the floor! Kathryn Cox “I was really impressed with Byron’s set up for the kids and in general the course was great value for money. Most important for me was that my son learned how to use new tools properly, how to keep a tidy workspace, how to plan a woodworking project rather than jumping straight in and how to finish items nicely. Highly recommend.” Parent of student “I really loved this course, it greatly improved my woodworking skills! I also made some great friends, I’m looking forward to doing the advanced course soon.” Patrick 12yr old
