Recent reviews of Comfort Bird Carving Workshop
- 5/5 from Hilary Tillin, attended Sep 2026: Thank you for an excellent workshop! Although we booked on the bird carving workshop it was great to be able to change our minds and make something different on the day. We really enjoyed the relaxed pace, with each of us being able to go at our own speed. Instructions were clear to understand with lots of help where we needed it.
- 5/5 from Josette Stanley, attended Jul 2026: Excellent, thank you
- 5/5 from Wendy Beadle, attended Dec 2025: This is our second time taking the class and it was just as amazing as the 1st. We brought our teen and he had a great time learning a new skill.
- 5/5 from Anthony Herbert, attended Nov 2025: It was a great workshop. The teachers were very warm and welcoming, and shared their knowledge and skill generously. I attended the Comfort Bird Carving Workshop. Others at the workshop also could choose to make a wombat, spoon or heart ️ shaped bowl. I liked learning g new skills and finishing my first bird. The venue had great coffee to buy during breaks. The pace of the workshop was perfect.
- 5/5 from Angela Wilhelm, attended Jan 2025: I really enjoyed the Comfort bird carving class - it was a lovely morning of mindfulness whilst learning a new skill. Catie and Steve explained the process so it was easy to understand and offered tips throughout the morning as we worked. I loved that the spoon and animal carving workshops were run at the same time so that you could see those processes too and it allows friends to come together and choose what they want to do. Spoon carving with Black Wattle workshop will be next on my list!
- 5/5 from Michael Boughey, attended Dec 2024: Awesome class and wonderful teachers. Supportive without being overwhelming. Lovely, chill class where the hours fly by.
- 5/5 from Wendy Beadle, attended Dec 2024: Catie and Steve were wonderful teachers, and I had a great time in the bird carving class.
- 5/5 from Mary Rutledge, attended Aug 2024: I had a fantastic morning whittling a little bird under the tuition of Catie & Steve. It was very well organized, great tools and resources and a super space. Thanks so much, I really enjoyed the workshop.
- 5/5 from Philomena Massey, attended Aug 2024: Such lovely people and great venue. Learned a lot and really enjoyed the experience. Thank you!
Your teacher
Using traditional tools and methods for creating is important to us, and passing on these skills is our passion. We have always been the types of people who would prefer to make something with our hands than to buy off the shelf. Sometimes there is nothing better than making with your own hands. We focus our workshops on the mindfulness of traditional making, and finding the technique that works for each person. Regardless if it is woodworking or leatherwork, we focus on teaching traditional ways to create. We find joy each time one of our workshop participants is beaming with pride when they step back and see what they have made.Sustainability is also an important component of what we do. The timber we use is sustainably sourced from small, local timber suppliers. Our leather is sourced right here in Brisbane, where they have developed sustainable practices to produce Vegtan leather.
