This was Nick's second time doing this class



Had a fantastic afternoon making a lovely wooden bowl. I'd highly recommend and will return.

I took my partner to this class as a birthday gift, and while he was initially a bit sceptical about making a charcuterie board, he was quickly won over by the creative possibilities. He ended up having a great time and being really happy with the board he made. 
It's a brilliant gift for someone who likes making things with their hands (and eating cured meats and picky bits).
After an early woodworking failure at school, I wasn't at all confident in my abilities, but Johanna's instructions were great, and with her guidance, I was able to bring my vision to life. 
This project is a great introduction to woodworking. You get to use some fun tools to make something practical that's totally doable within the time allowed and provides the opportunity to be creative. There were three people in our class so everyone got plenty of time and attention, and each of our boards looked so different, but they all turned out so well. 
It was such fun way to spend a few hours and then to get to take home a unique piece. I can't wait to have people over for cheese and charcuterie and be able to brag that I made the board myself. Highly recommend!

Strongly recommend
Recently feel a little bit burnout at work, want to do something to switch off. This was a very good experience. I have 0 experience and definitely a bit clumsy. But this class is still very easy to get hands on. The teacher is very nice very patient and well explained.

I had a brilliant time, Johanna was very helpful, warm and overall lovely to have as a teacher. I'm super proud of the dish I made, definitely a great experience :)

Excellent class. The teacher was really great, introduced everything clearly, we felt supported in creating our own design. It was really satisfying to use all the power tools and learn why they’re used, and the end result looks amazing. Friends and family can’t believe they aren’t professional. Now keen to do more woodworking and will be back for another class soon. Thanks again for an amazing experience!

Woodcarving workshop.
Made a little bowl.
Really cute workshop space with many clamps and pieces of wood.
Host was really helpful and chill, as well as being super well-informed and reassuring.
Atmosphere was meditative but collaborative and playful.
It was really great to learn a new skill and understand the theory and the practical applications. Also, I got to take home my bowl and use it! (Food safe)

Audrey • Apr 2026



I had an amazing time creating a hardwood dish with Johanna! She guided us thoroughly throughout the entire process and was incredibly helpful whenever we ran into any issues. The class was encouraging, and even complete beginners with no experience in carving or woodwork left with some pretty impressive work. 100% would recommend!

- Friendly and helpful hosts

This class was excellent! Johanna and Harry were so warm and welcoming and helped everyone feel at ease getting the hang of the techniques and using the tools. They guided us through every step of the way and made sure we were safe and had fun! I am so happy with the end product and can’t believe I made it myself!!!!

Sandra Oledan • Apr 2026



I really enjoyed Variegate's hardwood dish woodcarving workshop -- I had never tried woodworking before but Johanna explained everything from how to use the equipment, the types of wood we would be working with, to carving techniques, very thoroughly. She and Harry were very hands-on and were happy to answer all of our questions throughout the class. I found the process from start to finish very interesting and enjoyed the challenge of trying to shape and carve the wood to my liking. I would highly recommend their classes and will definitely book another class (eyeing the charcuterie class!) again in the future.

Kathleen Hardy • Feb 2026



Awesome class, teacher was so lovely and knowledgeable! Highly recommend.

Roisin McNulty • Feb 2026



This class was SO much fun. We each made our own charcuterie board in whatever design we wanted. Our instructor helped us along the way but didn't micro manage or hover. It was a super cool experience - so nice to do something with your hands and bring home your board that day. Would definitely recommend if you're thinking about it!

Cecilia Weiler • Jan 2026



My husband and I absolutely loved this workshop! The hostess was inspiring, fun and incredibly experienced, the studio beautiful and well set up, and the guidance was just the right level to make us all feel like we both learned a lot and could use our own ideas to create beautiful cutting boards - we use ours every day!

Madeleine • Nov 2025



I had a fantastic time with Johanna making my board - she was super kind, patient with me when I was taking an age to sand (who knew it was so therapeutic to sand?!) and she was super informative about all the tools and skills I was using when making the board. The time flew by and before I knew it I was oiling the board for that final finish.
Wonderful workshop, I enjoyed every minute of it (and might have a bit of a woodworking bug now!)

Amazing class! Did not expect this being so good. It was a very fun class and very insightful as well. Johanna was really knowledgeable and skilled and a great teacher! Would definitely do this again or booking a different class with her. Really happy I picked this!

Ophélie Barbet • Nov 2025



Thank you so much Johanna for your welcome and a wonderful workshop, guiding us through the process of making our boards. We were complete beginners and by the end of the workshop, we felt a lot more accomplished! We had a great time designing, cutting, and sanding our boards - can’t wait to use them time and again in the years to come. It’s such a satisfying feeling to come home with our own hand crafted item. Highly recommended!

Joey Mazars • Oct 2025



Amazing workshop, I had so much fun and learned a lot. Would 100% recommend

Annett Berling • Aug 2025



As a small family of three, we were able to take a fantastic workshop with Johanna. The hours flew by, and at the end, we held a unique, handmade piece in our hands. Johanna was always available to provide support and explanations, and even the technical details were easy to understand. We highly recommend this course, even for those with inexperienced hands, to learn new things and develop ourselves further. Thank you for the great time!

I had a lovely session with Johanna. She is kind, patient and professional in teaching wood craft techniques. The workshop location is in a spacious and quiet garden, you get to enjoy the calmness of nature. The timber material I got was a beautiful sapele, sustainability sourced. Overall I’ll rate this experience 10/10. Under Johanna’s guidance, the final product was so gorgeous.

My wife and I had a very enjoyable three hours with Johanna. THe project of coming away with two chopping boards was very methodically demonstrated, using all the tools and machines available to shape and smooth an ordinary plank of British Ash wood! We were delighted with the end product which we will use in our kitchen. A very goodexperience and good value bearing in mind all thge paraphanalia available. Good fun! and differen! Colin Bruce

Emily Booth • Jun 2025



I had a lovely time! I was impressed by how tidy and organized the workshop was. The teacher was very nice and easy to chat with, and she also gave me tips/answered questions about some wood projects I'm doing myself too. It was interesting learning about all of the tools and getting a chance to use them/practice. The board looks great and I can't wait to use it!

Priya Denis • May 2025



I booked this workshop as an anniversary present for my other half as he loves all things creative and working with his hands. We both had an amazing time making our charcuterie boards! We got to choose the type of wood we wanted to use and managed to use our own design too!
He loved using the tools and learning from Johanna. Johanna is a fantastic teacher and incredibly patient…even with people like me who doesn’t really have much creativity!
I can’t wait to hear about more workshops from Johanna and Harry

This was a fantastic, fun workshop. Johanna was very warm and friendly and explained everything really clearly. She helped when needed but was very good at standing back so we really felt the finished board was our work. We were all really pleased with what we made.

Nick Knight Evans • Apr 2025



My wife bought me the workshop as a present and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Our host/teacher was really friendly and guided us expertly through the steps to making a charcuterie board. It was really fun to use all of the tools and the boards we made looked great once they had been sanded and oiled - much too good to cut cheese on!

William Colgate • Apr 2025



Johanna and Harry were great! I bought this as a gift for my autistic brother and they were very accomodating for him. He had so much fun and is very proud of his board! He said the class was 'marvellous'. :)
