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.

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!"

"Brilliant course! Richard was really knowledgable and made it really interesting. We were able to get our hands on the tools and carried out practise exercises which will help me with my next diy project. I have recommended this course to friends and can see it being very popular! "

Rebecca reviewed: Epoxy Resin Art Masterclass: Seascapes

"I’ve wanted to attend a workshop to learn how to make resin seascapes for ages and I’m so pleased I went to this one. The instructions were so clear and easy to follow and Richard is an encouraging teacher. I’m thrilled with the coasters we made - they are stunning. The course has given me the confidence to try at home as we were given lots of tips and tricks for achieving the best résultats. I’d highly recommend this thoroughly relaxing course in a beautiful location. "
