Jacob Noble

Amazing experience. During this workshop you get to learn more about how to cut, shape, sand and finish wood, use cool machinery and tools, and ultimately create a great quality, solid wood serving board. We got to choose between 4 woods, all of them nice. Our teacher, Brandon, was super friendly, + more

Raffaela

Annie was an excellent instructor. The course was well structured but had plenty of practical experience. Definitely would recommend the course.

Carrie Anderson

Annie was a great teacher who explained things thoroughly. Enjoyed the mix of theory and practical - it would be good to do a two-day course or a follow-up session to help it all sink in a bit more.

Claudia

Fantastic lively knowledgeable teacher. Good class size. Material covered was clear. Covered important helpful topics like toilets, boilers, taps, pipes

Raquel Irurozqui

Great course! Using a chisel for the first time can be a very humbling experience but it was a lot of fun. Would definitely come back for another joinery course. Thank you Brandon!

Amazing beginner course, perfect to learn the basic fundamentals of joinery. It was the perfect amount of laid back and intense, and was so informative. Great for someone who has no knowledge of frame joints and wants to know where to start. I personally had a blast!

Lucas Hosgood

Helen

Such a friendly and informative learning experience. The day went so quickly and I was sad when it came to an end. Highly recommend!

Peter Albert

It was wonderful to see the workshop other than online. Alex was a great host explaining to me about the woodworking courses, the type of things you will be making on the course, about hiring a bench. The atmosphere was nice calm environment. He gave me some good advice on my new business venture... Thank you Alex!

Stuart

Enjoyed this plumbing 101 course. Annie was very good at explaining domestic heating and plumbing systems and components, then demonstrating techniques to undertake remedial tasks which we practiced in the afternoon. Definitely worth attending.

Peter Bampton

The class was really informative and helpful in steering me for my first project. We learnt about different materials and techniques, and got the opportunity to calibrate the machine and settings on the software to see how these impact the laser on the project. Alex was patient and knowledgeable and created a welcoming environment.

Laurell Edwards

It was a really good morning with a great instructor and lovely group of people. I have some power tools already, but learnt some things about how to use them that I never knew before, like the hammer function on a drill (and it’s not exactly the same as hammering lol). I wish the class was a little + more

Birthday present with my son - we both enjoyed making our boards. The teacher was engaged helpful with ideas and suggested solutions.

Polina

POW Workshop School is an excellent place to learn and create. Brandon is an incredible teacher who supported me through every step of the process, from the initial visual draft to sawing, finishing, and completing the project. What makes his classes truly unique is his individual approach to each student. + more

Aamir Iqbal

Great course for introducing woodworking. The instructor was great and took time to answer all questions and keep us on track

Sonny Peart

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, + more

Ian McGregor

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.

Thomas Vernon

Richard's Introduction to Spray Painting course is perfect to get you started with a spray gun. The course is very well thought out and covers all the basics you need get you going. As well as a good mix between theory and practice, Richard also tailors the course to match the requirements of the various + more

Jonathan Colhoun

After numerous attempts at spraying with varied success I thought it was about time to attend a class to learn the skills form a professional. Learnt the anatomy of the spray gun and how the settings of air pressure, paint volume and fan width will produce a good end result. The class was very relaxed + more

Guilherme Hoffmann

The place is magical for a person who wants to see how carpentry works. I felt extremely confident with the lessons and could notice that the other students were doing great as well. Friendly environment, good talks, Brandon - the instructor - is a really nice guy. A perfect day of learning a few new things. Highly recommended.

Sameer Kassam

I bought a session for my husband and he loved it, especially learning to use new tools and techniques.

Olabisi Ola

It was a very enlightening workshop. Learnt about different joints such as, mortise and tenon, half lap and the I think a dado joint.

Colette Simpson

A very well put together class. Brandon is a great teacher, very knowledgeable. Everyone in the class was friendly.

Jodie Rayer

Brandon taught us for the day joinery intro, explained everything super clearly. Any questions on carpentry and special interests he was keen to help with! Great class :)

Denise Cooke

The tools workshop was super informative and interesting. The tutorial was absolutely fantastic and very approachable and detailed in his approach. I highly recommend this course as I learnt so much especially about combination drills, screws and raw plug.

Deniah Pachai

I wanted to experience a hands-on woodworking workshop in your centre. I love creating things with wood. The teacher was very professional, knowledgeable and patient. The workshop shape was just the right size, clean and neatly kept. The relaxed atmosphere to learn a skill with like-minded individuals.

Monica Kumah

This is a great introduction to power tools. I found it invaluable to have some hands on experience especially the tools I never used before. The advice on what to look for when buying tools, accessories and screws etc. It would be great if there was a more advance power tools course available so I + more

Annie Underwood

I had the BEST time! We were walked through how to use all the tools, helped to make our (sometimes complicated) designs a reality, and I came away with a chopping board I'm really proud of. The time flew by, our tutor was brilliant, and nothing was too much bother. I would 1000% recommend!

Roger Taillefer

Great class, Alex was knowledgable and explained everything really well. Definitely excited to start my 3d printing experience.

Joyce

I took this course because I have just bought a house that needs renovating, and I was given a drill that I have used, but was never taught how to use it properly, and I am going to buy a sander. This course took us through the right way to use power tools efficiently and safely. It was great, and I + more

Isra Jawad

The instructor was so encouraging and knowledgable and really good at giving you the confidence to try things.

An Chen

This studio tour was really helpful for me. I didn’t know anything about woodworking, and Alex helped me understand which tools and workshops would be most useful for me.

Susie Statham

Really great class, teacher was fab. Great theory and some interesting, fun practical activities too.

Douglas Gray

I sent my son to you to help develop his basic skills. He had a great day, has grown in plumbing confidence (or my confidence in letting him tackle small jobs at home has grown) and has come home with new competencies - thank you.

Nina Roth

Great course with hands on teaching/experience. We could ask any question and got a lot of helpful advice. Annie is a great teacher! Can highly recommend to any beginners (and there’s a gorgeous Lebanese bakery around the corner, too).

Naseem Khan

Knowledgeable instructor. Extremely informative, very interactive & practicals help a lot with the learning. A balanced approach so you are not overwhelmed with the theory. Very well use of the time.

Anonymised ClassBento customer

This was a really helpful session. I've been doing some DIY for years, but still learnt lots on how to use a drill and what screws and rawl plugs work together. It was also great to try machines that I had never used, such as the circular saw, as the experience will make me more likely to use one in the future.

Rosemary Stevenson

Very informative. A great instructor/ teacher. Best thing I’ve done in years. So well worth the money. If this course was available years ago I would have saved a lot of money. Would highly recommend. Instructor was very patient!!

Nora Farrelly

I just wanted to understand how to use the tools and the course delivered that. Really enjoyed it. Learnt lots especially about drilling into walls. Great teacher and will definitely book more another course

El Reeve

I had wanted to learn the basics of joinery for years, and this class popped up in my Instagram feed. It was such a great day. The workshop was really nice with excellent equipment, and the small class size made it easy to hear everything and get advice on our work-in-progress. Really nice atmosphere. Our + more

Nate Rae

I went to Annie's workshop with a couple of friends to get some more practical skills, and had an amazing time. Annie was super informative (and very patient as we all asked a million very specific questions), and there was a nice balance between theory and hands-on practice. Would absolutely recommend + more

Nick Harper

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 + more

Marcel Lacaze

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.
