Charis Williams –
Amazing hands-on workshop – suitable for a beginner!
I absolutely loved my time at The Salvage Sister’s pallet planter workshop. As I was a complete power tool novice, I was a little worried I’d find it difficult or hold the rest of the class up, but thanks to Charis’ fun, relaxed and very helpful teaching, I came away not only with a beautiful planter (I’m so proud of it!) but also inspired to use tools at home on recycled finds. So much so, I’m already planning on doing another workshop!”

Charis is leading a series of fab workshops at the Brighton Wood Store…. We’d highly recommend the pallet planter workshop. Betty – Brighton The Inside Blog
Charis Williams –
One word – EPIC. This workshop has really opened my eyes to what I can create with free pallet wood! I’ve had a stack of pallets here for nearly a year & wasn’t sure what to do with them, now I’ve attended this class I feel like I can build anything!! Thanks Charis x Jo – Kent.

Such a great day!
I’ve just attended a planter making workshop and can’t wait to make more.
Every step of the process was explained in such easy to understand terms. Charis is lovely. We ran way over time, because we never noticed the time, but. Charis just let us keep going until we were finished and happy.
She explained how to use all the power tools (including the scary saws)
I can’t wait to make more and look forward to attending more workshops – TRIPADVISOR user ‘NewBarn2016’

I had such a great day at Charis’s workshop. I have never used any power tools before so was really proud of myself at the end of the day. In the beginning I couldn’t see how we could make a couple of pallets look so amazing but at the end I felt confident to make it again. In fact that is this year’s birthday presents sorted! Charis has a great manner, throws you right in there but explains everything really well and doesn’t make you feel stupid. I would definitely recommend this and I’ll be looking to attend other classes in future. Thank you for a great day – TRIPADVISOR, user ‘FurryDogMother’

I can’t thank Charis enough for making this workshop the best ever. We had so much fun. Charis is a natural teacher. She guided us through using power tools we’d never used before with such clarity & ease. She’s energetic & fun to be around. We all produced excellent planters in different sizes. I feel very proud of the one I made! I thought my measurements would be off but with Charis’s help I made a perfect planter. I want to do another workshop, maybe making a lamp from something I can find at home? MetalPetal on TripAdvisor

The pallet planter workshop was great! Charis showed me how to safely use all the tools and helped me to construct it. She was very patient and gave me the confidence to have a go.
This is my first time making anything like this and using power tools.
I’m really chuffed with how it’s turned out! ?
