"I recently completed an automata course, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. Tom, the instructor, was exceptionally helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. His deep understanding of the subject made complex concepts easier to grasp, and he was always patient with my questions. Tom also brought the subject to life with various small automata models that demonstrated the structure and functionality in a hands-on way, making the learning experience more engaging and practical. What I also appreciate is his flexibility with scheduling—he accommodated my availability, making it possible for me to fully engage with the course material. If you’re looking for a comprehensive and well-supported automata course, I highly recommend learning from Tom!"

"Sincerely apologies for my late response to this significant feedback, due to my family issue and I was not accessed to my gmail🥺. Tom has been a brilliant and wonderful teacher who has told me a lot on working with metal, plastic, and automatas. I was very inspired on his talking robotic and it was a very beautiful project. We had been working on a lot of small projects together. I am very thankful to Tom who has wonderfully helped me on looking for a lot of important materials including a trolley. Finally we made a little drum machine together and it was brilliantly moving and lovely. I would strongly recommend this course, even if you are a beginner or a skillfull artist because Tom is very patient and knowledgeable."

Tom Wilkinson responded:

"I was honoured to help Juice out on her degree project. We both hit it off with mutual fascination with William Kendricks' mechanical theatre. She is highly creative and proved a very receptive student in learning new skills. I wish her great success on her forthcoming masters course."

Katie Tindle reviewed: Automata, mechanical toy & kinetic sculpture making in artist's workshop: 6 classes

"Tom was a brilliant teacher. He was very accommodating and flexible in regards timing, patient when explaining new concepts, but allowed me to work out elements of the build myself so that the skills would be replicable in the future. I would definitely recommend this course, it was a lot of fun!"

Tom Wilkinson responded:

"Thank you Katie, for your kind words. You were a terrific student – keen to learn new skills and very capable in your making abilities. I wish you well with your project and look forward very much to seeing it on completion. "

"Tom has been an inspiration throughout. His advice, support, ideas and challenges have made the whole process enormously enjoyable. As I am a total novice, Toms patience, encouragement and suggestions have made it possible to work at a pace that suits my learning style and yet gets results. Many thanks Tom… on to the next project 🙄"
