"Did a one day course with my daughter, making a hobbit stool, and a coffee table. Great day- learnt so much, and loved our pieces of furniture. John was an excellent teacher. Top quality products. Thank you."

"Called in at the craft centre on the way back from a trip to North Wales. The furniture shop Taran Eco Designs was full of unique pieces of furniture. We saw a beautiful oak and yew coffee table which my wife and I knew would fit perfectly in our living room. We learned where the oak and yew came from and the table is now part of our home."

"Visiting the Corris Craft Centre, we made a beeline to revisit one of our favourite furniture shops: Taran Eco Designs. We have several of their pieces at home already, made using local recycled discarded wood and slate. Friendly and helpful assistant in the shop. I will be returning next year to partake of their table making course. Excellent shop - lots to see and buy!"

"We had such a great day learning how to make one of John's amazing chairs. It's no more expensive than just buying one and you get to make your own design, learn how he does all the carpentry and get something really meaningful to take home at the end of the day. John was a great teacher and we were cooked delicious lunch and had unlimited tea to keep us going. I would definitely recommend it as an interesting and rewarding way to spend the day."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Based within the Corris Craft Centre, we enjoyed looking at all the furniture, home accessories & gifts all crafted out of wood sourced close to the centre. The 2 people who own the workshop talked to us with such passion & a strong belief in their desire to make creative use of wood that would otherwise be destroyed. Such amazing ingenuity & skill. Well worth a visit.

"I was lucky enough to spend two days here with a group of people making unique pieces of furniture. The team are so welcoming with a very relaxed approach and a ‘success guaranteed” outlook. The tutoring was just right with as much or as little help as you wanted and absolutely no rushing. Every one of us was delighted with our finished piece, a hobbit stool in my case. Looking at all the beautiful items in the shop was an added bonus and I would defy anyone not to find something they love. Highly recommended on all counts."

The storytelling chairs in particular are simply magical. It is well worth a visit to the Craft Centre to see their unit alone. Can’t wait until our next trip up to Corris. Xx"
