Reviewed By Geoff_Gwen - Sherborne, United Kingdom

Just had an amazing day learning new skills and creating colourful glass objects under the guiding hands of the very friendly and skilled instructors at the Glass Hub. With just 4 learners to one instructor there was plenty of hands-on time and everyone made four or more beautiful glass items using all the basic facets of the glass blowing process. The whole day was so much fun thanks to our instructor Bliss. We would definitely recommend this activity to anyone who would like a fascinating and creative day out. (Note:Lunch can be provided and free hot and cold drinks are available throughout the day)

Choose from 1, 2 or 3 hour classes and expect to package and personalise your products to take home something that looks exactly as if it came from a professional chocolate shop! Tutored chocolate tastings are also available and these can be taken to any venue, hotel or office if you are a large group who can't get out to the workshop in Congresbury.

I’m so pleased I finally booked a workshop. It was great fun really friendly and easy to learn. I was so delighted with my creation I booked a second session. If you don’t fancy creating your own masterpiece there are lots of lovely ready made pieces or if you ask you can have something made in your choice of colour etc!

Axminster Skill Centre - Axminster

Axminster Skill Centre is a hub of learning and practical creativity, offering a range of woodworking, woodturning, carving and engineering courses. Our tutors are experienced and well versed in their respective crafts; many of them are professional demonstrators and able to deliver their courses with a clear, informative and enthusiastic approach. Our courses are designed to cater for small groups of no more than five or six students, ensuring each will receive a high standard of tuition and plenty of one-to-one attention. And with their newfound confidence, students often return to build on what they have learned and progress to a higher level of skill.

This was my second visit to Axminster Skills Centre having previously attended the 2 day router course 3 years ago. I was so impressed then with the excellent training facilities at Axminster coupled with the vast knowledge, tremendous skill and invaluable experience of the tutors I vowed to return when time permits. Now I am retired I decided on a new venture for me of pen turning. After just one superb day spent in a dedicated lathe workshop, 4 other students and a first class tutor in Ben, I produced pens that shocked my wife in total amazement. I will be looking at the other courses offered here at Axminster as my experience so far has been 5 star with the tutors achieving the perfect balance of a relaxed yet safe environment in which all students can learn at their own pace. ASC really is a centre of excellence for woodworking. Well done to all staff and management for creating a great place to learn.
