  • 5/5 from Sonny Peart, attended May 2026: Really informative workshop delivered by Sean, who was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I entered knowing next to nothing about 3D printing, and left a few hours later with a good idea of the possibilities a d confident that I could get started on my 3D printing journey straight away. As predicted, I'd ordered my first 3D printer and supplies before bedtime.
  • 5/5 from Ian McGregor, attended May 2026: A really well constructed talk that went through all the key Elena of 3D Printing for beginners. Plenty of opportunity to ask questions, with very clearer explanations.
  • 5/5 from Roger Taillefer, attended Apr 2026: Great class, Alex was knowledgable and explained everything really well. Definitely excited to start my 3d printing experience.
  • 4/5 from Weronika Lesniak, attended Apr 2026: They can’t send me the class materials which I need until I write the review. They tried 3 times by email and I got nothing
  • 5/5 from Nick Harper, attended Mar 2026: I really enjoyed this class led by Alex. Just two pupils so able to ask lots of questions and learn a lot in the time available. Clear guidance on the basics of 3D printing from materials to software and kit choices and a big plus to see a couple of printers in action. Now I just need to buy some gear and get started! Highly recommended, Thank you
  • 5/5 from Marcel Lacaze, attended Mar 2026: Very good overview of printer hardware, filaments and work flow. Exactly what I was looking for to start with. Also it was important for me to see the printers and the print output (quality), not just learning the topic on Youtube.
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Jan 2026: Very informative for a beginner. My 10 year old son came away feeling he could master printing his favourite toys.
  • 5/5 from Suhail Ebner, attended Jan 2026: I had a really positive experience at POW. The class was well structured, welcoming, and inspiring from start to finish. Sean was an excellent teacher knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He explained everything clearly, encouraged questions, and created a relaxed environment where everyone felt comfortable learning at their own pace. The atmosphere of the class was friendly and inclusive, and the venue and materials were well prepared and suitable for the session. I especially appreciated the hands-on approach and the practical insights Sean shared throughout the class. Overall, a great learning experience. I would highly recommend POW and Sean to anyone interested in developing new skills in a supportive and creative environment.
