"Great course! We were skilfully guided through the day by Richard. As well as being a great teacher he is a top guy and this was a big factor in the day being a success. All aspects of the course were thorough especially health and safety. Using the various power tools was my particular favourite activity. The end product was beyond my expectations. I am already looking to see which course I can do next."

"What a great day! As a total beginner I learned a great deal about the process, machinery and safety elements of woodworking (special shout out the dust extraction, us asthmatics appreciate that!) It was a well run, friendly, funny and enjoyable day. I ended up with a very fine bread board I am proud of and i'll be back for more classes. Thankyou!!"

"I really enjoyed the beginners epoxy resin course, Richard was great at explaining the basics and answering all queries. I recommend bringing a notepad to jot down relevant info, as well as having some idea of what colours you want to use and design you want to achieve. Highly recommended."

Matt reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"I attended the course due to an obsession with resin - and I'm so glad I did. Richard really knows his stuff, and had an excellent way of sharing that information, tailoring what he says to people of different abilities. Someone has left a review saying Richard was 'stand offish'. They must have been at a different course!"

Alice Simpson reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"Anyone contemplating doing anything with Epozy Resin needs to do this course. I learnt a huge amount in only 2 and a half hours. My only criticism was that I would have liked a hand out with everything I had learnt on the course. My 56 year old brain can only remember so much. Having said that, just make sure you take a pen and paper to write your own notes. Richard is such a great instructor. He made the course fun and interesting. Highly recommend."

S Brown reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop Part Two - Resin Finishing

"Having poured my resin in Part 1, I looked forward to attending Part 2 to complete the process. I am very happy with my finished coasters. As in the previous class, Richard took the time to to answer the questions I brought from Part 1 and refreshed the points I hadn't quite grasped first time around. The use of the machinery was not a new experience for me personally being familiar with all that we used, however for a novice user it is an ideal opportunity to get some hands on experience in a controlled environment. I am looking forward to being able to use the knowledge I have acquired in these 2 courses to add decorative dimensions to my future woodworking projects. I would recommend these courses to anyone considering working with resin for the first time. Looking forward to undertaking future courses."
