  • 5/5 from Rachael Wood, attended Jun 2026: Yol was so accomodating in making a private course happen at late notice for my boyfriend and I. Yol was so patient and keen to share her knowledge with us and we had such a great time learning about the tools and the process of carving. The farm animals keeping us company was such a lovely addition to the course and I wish we could have stayed longer.
