David Norwood reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"As a disabled user I foubd the course teacher Richard very understanding arrange a stool so I could sit during the whole course, he was also well versed in resin problems and how to avoid wasting any extra resin left over, ways to avoid cross over of colours and how to calculate amount of resin needed, also none mathematical methods of working out the amount needed, thus enable person who are not great at maths a easy way of working out what you need, also useful suppliers and ongoing help from a company who supplies resin, he also run the course in a Covid19 friendly environment with space for all to avoid to much contact, I.E. less than on a bus or train."

Janine Khoshnevisan reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"I did this course yesterday and was thoroughly impressed. The process was well explained with plenty of hints and tips on how to continue with this medium on your own afterwards. In spite of us all being complete beginners we produced stunning and sometimes surprisingly interesting results. No two were the same. I would highly recommend this course."

Graham Mackman reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"Great intro course to working with resin to produce real art. Richard set a good pace and the combination of the practical work and the hints & tips was spot on. The passion he has for the art came through and he had time for everyone with a question. Would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to try something a little different."

Neil Kelly reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"I attended the course on 12th June. I have recently become interested in working with resin but wasn’t sure what to expect. I didn’t need to worry. The course was excellent. Very informative, received lots of support and came away feeling confident to give it a go myself. Couldn’t have asked for more. Looking forward to my next course. Thank you."

"I have previously attended a course run by Richard Wagner which was excellent in all respects. Richard was extremely well prepared with good facilities and material for the project. He is very skilled on the techniques and also has a generous and informative style of teaching that encourages all skill levels to take part. I would thoroughly recommend Richard and the course."

Tim Bishop reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"This course was really excellent. I have just complete the course today 12 June and it really exceeded my expectations. Richard has a great way of getting people to think about the situation and come up with really pertinent questions. The pace was really measured and I was very pleased that it covered in detail the mold construction and sealing plus mold release and how to calculate the volume of resin to prepare. I had already booked on the part 2 of this course and I am very please I have. I can’t wait. I probably could have spent the rest of the day there just asking questions as the whole subject was fascinating. Thank you Richard and I look forward to part 2."

Ike reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop Part Two - Resin Finishing

"Richard really demystified the whole process and made it so easy for me to create a beautifully finished resin coaster. I didn't know what to expect at first but was so happy that this course is very hands on whilst giving us the relevant information and guidance throughout. I would highly recommend this course for anyone at any level! I really enjoyed it and Richard is a great teacher. I'm looking forward to attend his other courses!!!"

Pam Bailey reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"I attended this course on May 15th. I have been interested in resin craft for a while and thought this would be a good introduction to learn the basics. Richard was very knowledgeable on all aspects of the course. There was a lot of information to absorb on the day and because the class was quite large I couldn't quite grasp the working out of the measurements (parts of resin to parts of hardener) although Richard did sort it out on his calculator. I wish I had separated the resin in to more cups. I had used two cups but when pouring the two mixtures in to the mould they ended up mixing together so didn't really show separate colours. I did enjoy the course but wish there would have been more tips on how to get the different shades and effects that you see in most resin products."

"I completed the course on the 15th May. Richard was very good, informative and calm. He took time to explain the process before diving in and very helpful throughout. As all things creative I enjoyed the experience. The workshop was well organised and pleasant to work in."
