Recent reviews of Metalworking for Artists Course

  • 5/5 from Nathalie Zaroslinski, attended Jul 2025: Very detailed explanation of how to use the different tools and machines. Highly recommended course to get you started in metal working. Excellent teacher! Thank you
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Andrew was a great teacher, lots of theory with lots of practical. Good for any beginner and those with some skills. Lots of materials to work with and lots of workshop tools to try out. Learning to use the MIG and Plasma cutter was ace. Great class would definitely recommend!
  • 5/5 from Carol Earl, attended Oct 2024: The course was two full days and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The tutor was fantastic - very knowledgeable, gave just the right amount of information and instruction but left us to do the work and use the machinery. He was very experienced and I picked up so many tips on how to work with metal. He was enthusiastic and attentive to every person and made sure we achieved our goals in a supportive manner. I came all the way down from Scotland to do the course and it did not disappoint. A huge thanks to our tutor for making the journey worth while.
