Here are some of the student testimonials we have collected over the years.

Having left school to join the creative industry, I wasn’t sure where to start. After researching areas, I was interested in I found that Marc’s courses and ‘robinson house studio’ were exactly what I was looking for as I wanted to explore various elements of design within the industry. When I found Marc’s course online we had a long chat about what I can achieve within the course, what his work entails, his design philosophy and teaching method. It was an easy choice after that to sign up as the course undoubtedly offered more than other courses I found. It was that day that I signed up to the two-year course without any hesitation. Two years gave me the freedom to experiment, and design the pieces that I wanted to make. I would like to thank everyone at RHS for their dedicated support along the way, helping me achieve my goals. As I now pursue a career in furniture design, I am confident that my learning at RHS has put me in a great place for the future.

Prior to my time at robinson house studio I had worked as a carpenter both on site and in a workshop. I realised I wanted to pursue making bespoke fine furniture and felt that a course with Marc at the studio offered in-depth cabinet making tuition as well as the opportunity to explore design. It certainly proved to be an exciting environment to be a part of, with emphasis on contemporary design and the use of innovative new materials and techniques.

Inspiring, serious and dedicated would describe the courses offered at ‘robinson house studio’.

Having worked in Software Engineering for a lifetime, I wanted to develop practical skills with tangible results and hopefully make something I could be proud of. The course has provided me with an insight into the exacting standards necessary to create fine furniture and is equipping me with the key skills. I have particularly enjoyed Marc’s enthusiasm for the design elements, his encouragement to challenge traditional design and to be open to a breadth of inputs/influences.
