• 5/5 from John Warton, attended Sep 2026: A great class to do as an introduction to welding. Mainly MIG welding but also had instruction on arc welding and spot welding. Covered essential safety and protection equipment. Basic material information, preparation, welding methods (and types of welds for different configurations and thicknesses). Andrew was a great tutor, highly recommend this course.

• 5/5 from Keith McGowan, attended Feb 2026: I'm a complete novice to welding, but surprised how much I think I learnt from this introductory class. The teacher explained things in a clear and understandable way, welcoming any questions in way that didn't make anyone feel foolish for asking. After discussing safety and general principles, the teacher demonstrated different forms of welding. Then we all got a plenty of opportunity to try them out, with the teacher keeping an eye on us and offering suggestions or advice where appropriate. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the time seemed to go so quickly. My mind is still buzzing with welding possibilities.
• 5/5 from Janet Chittock, attended Jan 2026: Really enjoyed it - I love the detail but asked questions when others were busy so as not to delay people. The expert teaching us was very patient and very knowledgeable. I will be recommending this to friends.

• 5/5 from Sinead Sin, attended Dec 2024: Really enjoyable class was really informative and with plenty of info about owning a MIG welder at home. Was a really lovely space and an excellent place for picking up other skills, I fully intend to come back and learn more skills from the London Sculpture Workshop!I can't recommend this class more, it really was a great experience and really set you up for further learning about welding as well as being just and excellent fun day out.Only issue we had was people struggling to find Unit 0 where the workshop is based, you want to get there easily take the last left on the road into the estate and go behind the art cafe and hug the sea wall, the workshop is right at the end of the row, you're going the right way if there's a giant rusted out ship on your right.

• 5/5 from Abi Harcourt, attended Dec 2024: Loved the class! It didn't go into too many difficult technical things, and we had 1h to weld different pieces of metal together to get a real feel of the stuff and excellent guidance from the teacher when we got stuck. Small class of only 7 people so it gave everyone a chance to make something. Lovely location as well, it almost felt like you were next to the seaside.

• 5/5 from Ben B, attended Dec 2024: The short evening class has given me the confidence to use this method to stick bits of metal together. Rather than putting in lots of practice making clean straight welds, we got to be creative and put something together. A great session with the result - a unique sculptural form.
• 4/5 from Owen Brangwin, attended Dec 2024: This was a perfect intro to welding. There was enough opportunity to have a go as well as useful guidance on getting started. I now feel confident enough to practice at home.
• 4/5 from Adam Gooch-Smith, attended Dec 2024: The course was great. Andrew explained everything very clearly and the studio is amazing. I think the practice time at the end would have been better if everyone had the same task in joining two bits on f metal (I.e. showed how to) rather than free form as I found it difficult how to visualise this without having had a go previously.
