"I attended this with my husband recently. Brilliant course. Highly recommend! We wanted to see if it was something we might want to venture more into and it was also something creative for us to do together. Richard was so helpful. We will definitely be booking in for part 2 soon. Thank you Nicky & Dan"

"I recommend the Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop. Richard is a great teacher, both engaging & knowledgeable. This is a hands-on workshop, preparing a piece that is yours to keep. Course was well prepared & structured, allowing time for questions & a few side topics too."

Toby Wilson reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop Part Two - Resin Finishing

"The Epoxy Resin - part two course was a great way to finish the day. I can recommend doing the part one and part two on the same day if you can. Dan who ran the course with Richard had the right level of instruction vs give it a try approach. Again a very practical and informative course."

"Excellent course, great tutor. The course was very informative and enjoyable, it answered questions I had about why my project didn't work before I did this course. I would certainly recommend to others with an interest in wanting to trying something new."

Rebecca reviewed: Epoxy Resin Art Masterclass: Seascapes

"I took this course on 3rd of June and really enjoyed it. Richard, the course instructor, was welcoming, funny, explained the do’s and don’ts of epoxy resin, without making it complicated and putting the fear of God into us. Demonstrated what we would be doing, (which for a visual learner is great). He asked and answered questions about resin. All in all a very pleasant experience."

"Booked this course for my husband and me to do together, after he saw and liked some seascape artwork when we were on holiday. It was his first ever crafting course and he loved it, as did I. Richard is a fantastic tutor - patient, knowledgeable and encouraging! We made some coasters that we are really pleased with and will definitely be back for more classes!!"

Uli reviewed: Beginners Woodworking: Make a Bread Board

"I enjoyed making my own breadboard. I was surprised by how much I learned within a short time and how easy it was to produce, as commented by my son, an “insanely good breadboard”. The instructors were patient and thorough in their explanations. The course didn’t feel rushed and allowed people of differing skill sets to have fun. "

A Blake reviewed: Epoxy Resin Art Masterclass: Seascapes

"I had a brilliant day, 6 May, producing 4 beautiful individual resin coasters. I did not know what to expect as I had went with a friend who was interested in working with resin. The tutor, Richard, shared his knowledge in a relaxed and informative manner. No question was too trivial. The class size was small so Richard had time for us all. Great class for people interested in resin and a fun craft for others. I would highly recommend."

Philippa reviewed: Epoxy Resin Art Masterclass: Seascapes

"A great class with a relaxed vibe. Perhaps could have had a slight bit more "structure" to it or more signposting of expectations on what we were doing when. Overall there was clear instruction and engagement, and I certainly want to do more work with this material. The format of the class worked well within the timings."

George reviewed: Beginners Woodworking: Make a Bread Board

"I had a really good time doing this course and recommend it. The level was perfect for me as a beginner - not too difficult but not too easy. Dan was a good teacher who explained things clearly and helped whenever needed. I thought that the day was great overall and I even enjoyed having wonder around this inserting part of London at lunch to find a cafe."

"Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop. I had a wonderful experience doing this. Filled in for my son so I wasn’t supposed to go. Not something I would have done, but it was excellent , very good tuition he made time for everyone, and if you were unsure he would go over it again. No pressure very enjoyable would recommend this to anyone even if like me you are not that interested in doing it, I must say I really enjoyed the course thanks. Parking was easy. "

Gail reviewed: Epoxy Resin Art Masterclass: Seascapes

"A great afternoons introduction to using epoxy resin, I enjoyed Richard’s seascapes class immensely, I knew nothing about epoxy resin and left inspired to try the process at home, armed with the basic principles and practical tips. He is a very supportive tutor, patient and knowledgeable. Great day!"
