Maker's bio

Richard has been teaching this intro class since 2018 after realising that all the challenges of working with epoxy resin were bound to be frustrating aspiring makers around the world as much as they were for him. After realising that working with epoxy resin was actually quite easy once you knew a few simple tricks and the basic principles, he started inviting you to join him in the workshop to master the tricks of the trade for yourself.

Sophie Wood reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop Part Two - Resin Finishing

"Many of us had already done the beginners' pouring class a month before and had come back to finish their item. I attended straight after the beginners' course in the am, so I finished a pre-made piece. I liked the emphasis on safety and the correct tools to ensure the work space remains safe to breathe in. Richard explained how to achieve a polished finish, but we practiced a smooth finish as this was more practical for daily use of the items we made."

Sophie Wood reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"I had a great time at the resin pouring class, and learnt a hell of a lot. Richard was hugely knowledgeable and a great teacher. Make sure you take a note book and pen, you'll want to make the most of what you learn, and there are some technical bits well worth jotting down."

Sam reviewed: DIY Workshop: Power Tools Course

"Instructor was excellent. Incredibly knowedgable and gave a lot of positive reinforcement during the session. Feel far more confident with Power Tools as a result of my class here. Will definitely be back next month for another session!"

Hannah Gelder reviewed: DIY Workshop: Power Tools Course

"This course was brilliant. As a relative novice to DIY, I found it really reassuring that Richard was so informative and supportive in walking us through various different power tools. He took the time to find out all of our various needs and reasons for attending and then tailored his teaching and information to that. I left feeling super well informed and much more confident to take on more challenging projects at home. Thank you!"
