Flora Harrap reviewed: Introduction to MIG welding and metal fabrication for artists, Diy'ers and furniture makers

"I really enjoyed my day with Conan in his workshop. The hands on approach to the day is brilliant to build up one’s confidence in MIG welding. Conan was really helpful offering his guidance and advice. He even lit the forge so that we could hand forge some of our pieces before welding them together. I made a jellyfish and am very proud of my finished piece! A truly impressive and creative day which made me very happy! I am going to buy a welder now and before I left Conan talked me through how to set it all up by myself and which welder I should go for. He is a true enthusiast and I would highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to build their confidence in MIG welding. "

Conan Sturdy, Blacksmith responded:

"Thanks Flora. I was very impressed by your creativity in making the swimming jellyfish- very nice .... Good luck with your creative metalworking in the future. "

Leslie reviewed: Introduction to MIG welding and metal fabrication for artists, Diy'ers and furniture makers

"The Introduction to MIG welding class was hands on and enlightening. At the end on the day I was able to complete a small project which I took home. The Conan's class was great and confidence building that I bought a mig welding machine and required safety gear when I returned home (Nigeria). "

Conan Sturdy, Blacksmith responded:

"Was a pleasure to meet you Leslie and good luck with the metalworking adventure. Feel free to drop me a line with any questions and I’d love to see your artwork "

"Had a great time. The hands on approach was a great way to learn and get confidence quickly. Conon was a good teacher and was happy to answer any questions. Would recommend the day session if you are beginner, want to try something new or if you have a small welding project but you don't personally have a workshop/welder to complete it yourself."
