I don't know of anybody in south Wales doing courses but we are in Worcestershire if that not to far away.

Maybe someone else will have some suggestions.

basics really, joints marking correct hand tool usage hoping to make a few small projects soon
as I am a plasterer by trade I know from training 1 or 2 people that a bit of hands on guidance is what's needed to start you off on the right track

Right ok, well I know neath college do some introductory courses to crafts, these are run I. The evenings. Not sure if there are any on at the moment.

If you are looking at woodturning, them coleg sir gar (llanelli) run a course which starts in September.

I can recommend Peter's courses.
I recently attended one on veneering & laminating and despite being very specific in title, I picked up loads of information on aspects of design, sharpening, hand tools, machining as well as the veneering and laminating.
I'm sure if you were to go on a more general course you would find it really valuable and one of the other students is actually picking up selected courses as part of his new career in woodworking.
Before I went on the course I arranged to meet Peter and have a look around so maybe drop him a line or give him a call?
