Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

A fun, productive and creative day. I felt very well looked after and came away with a useful bit of kit for the garden.

As much as I don’t want to encourage people to go on this course for fear of it becoming harder to get a place; it is only fair to say the course length and contents and delivery is excellent for learning and being creative at the same time the instructors were so helpful and friendly and always willing to help or step back which ever you prefer.

I really can’t speak highly enough of my experience on this course. Starting with zero experience of welding to coming home with a giraffe sculpture that I designed and made by myself.

Excellent value and an enjoyable experience too.

My husband and I booked on to this fabulous day course for our Valentines treat for each other.
We had a brilliant day learning to weld, use the plasma cutter, and bend metal by hand. The scrap pile is full of interesting pieces to build from.
Thank you for a great day.

I had an amazing day both in terms of patience in teaching (no prior experience), and support in building my small sculpture. Am definitely going back to support my learning. Lovely teachers and lovely group to learn alongside.

Had a great day. Learned lots and came away with my own creation. Would definitely recommend :)

Had a fantastic day learning lots of new skills, very supportive tutors that really encourage you to develop your ideas, you really can do just about anything. The time flew by and it was great that I could come back with something knowing that I had done all the work on it as well. Highly recommended!

I thoroughly enjoyed the day.
The Tutors were both professional and friendly. I would recommend the course to anyone who was interested in Art/craft welding techniques.
Many thanks for an enjoyable day

Had a great day with Felix and Izzy. They were informative on the tools and equipment to hand, as well as shop safety. But quickly we were down to work. The scrap available was plentiful and as I wanted to make something with an areoplane theme, was delighted to see the 'waste product' of a fire pit manufacturer in 4 CNC cut Tornados!
Soon fettled into a bomb burst arrangement and ready to be fixed to my garage wall. Wedling was less scary than I expected and the Plasma cutter was a brilliant tool to get to grips with - Hot knife through butter anyone!

A great day all round, with a group of pleasant folks too boot! Loved it all.

Brilliant day, Izzy & Felix extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and patient. Equipment ia all explained simply, with no technical bamboozling. Then you are let loose on the scrap pile ... your imagination, skill and time the only restraints. Thoroughly enjoyed, completely addictive and surprisingly knackering 😃😃😅 Thank you again for a brilliant, informative and fun day. The search begins for a mig welder 😃😃

We were a small group of friends (mid fifties, male and female) looking for a metal working experience. Annie and Felix were wonderful teachers who provided guidance and encouragement throughout the day. We wanted to weld, plasma cut and grind. We all left with dirty cheeks and a creation. Recommended. A safe and enclusive environment.

An excellent day out!
Plenty of help and instruction to get you working safely, but not in any way restrictive so you can be as creative and self sufficent as possible. Lots of materials to work with, all the tools you need, and a really good atmosphere to work in. I'd thoroughly reccommend this to anyone, it's a fun day. (....and decent coffee ;) )

Spend the whole day discovering a new craft and both my boyfriend and I got so intensely lost in our own bubble of creativity and it was amazing! Both Felix and Annie were available for help any time and even went out of their way to help us finish our projects on time, which we are both very thankful for! We went home with those super fun lamps! Really highly recommended!

Friendly instructors, with helpful guidance on the use of the workshops and development of our ideas.

It was such a good day. Everything was explained so well, I really enjoyed the amount of guidance but also the freedom to work alone when I felt confident enough. It was really fun and I left with something really cool.

I had a superb day with Felix and Annie. As soon as I got there I was put at ease. Felix and Annie started the day with the safety talk and a guide to how to use all the tools (MIG Welder, plasma cutter, saw, angle grinders). We then had a look through the scrap treasure trove and chose our items to make our goodies. We were then given one to one tuition on each tool that we needed to use. I used the MIG welder which I loved and the angle grinder was fun too. I came home with a lovely dog sculpture which now sits very happily in my garden. Both ladies are very knowledgeable and very patient (especially when I couldn't find my vision). I would highly recommend this course and I will definitely be doing another one. Thank you ladies for a truly brilliant day!

What a great day. Don't waste any time - get yourself on this course! Felix and Izzy were knowledgeable, encouraging, relaxed and approachable, giving suggestions when needed yet keeping a careful eye out for safety. Their overview of materials and cutting, shaping and joining techniques and equipment was pitched just right for this complete beginner. Izzy gave me a patient induction into MIG welding and the opportunity to practise before using it for real. The stock pile of scrap metal is a treasure trove. I was so pleased with the bike chain/car spring/spoon-pawed beast that came home with me - and impressed with what my lovely fellow attendees made too. The six hours flew by. WTF have opened my eyes to the possibilities ...

Izzy and Felix ran a brilliant course for us today, thank you!
The course was put together so well - catering for absolute beginners, but giving us real freedom and trust to use proper machinery (plasma cutters, MIG welders etc). The small course numbers meant we got one-to-one tuition on every machine. I was a bit concerned that I had been a bit overambitious in my project (a fire pit) but Izzy and Felix both jumped in to help where needed (but encouraged me to solve the more interesting challenges, like trying to weld closed a larger-than-planned hole!)
I would wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone, and will be telling everyone about it. Thank you both.

This was probably the best birthday present Ive ever had What a truly great day
The two instructors were both knowledgeable and very helpful, never felt judged or that any idea was seen as silly Ive already recommended this experience to a number of people
The workshop is very well equipped and because of keeping the group small one never has to wait to use the equipment Oh and not to forget the opportunity for endless cups of tea or coffee (but you wont want to stop because you will be having so much fun)
On the drive home I just felt that I would have had the whole day again if I could


Thank you Felix and Izzy

I had a great day with WTF. Lots of techniques simply explained (MIG welding, brazing, plasma cutting, rolling, grinding etc) and lots of interesting scrap to try and create your own masterpiece. With 2 instructors to a maximum of 5 participants there is always help on-hand if you need it, along with endless tea and biscuits. Thoroughly recommended.

Really enjoyed the warm support and enthusiasm that Felix and Issey exuded.
Clever, artistic and great fun. Loved it

Amazing and super fun! I went for two days in a row which I found very useful, as on the second day I then knew how the different equipment worked and had more of an idea how to achieve my projects. It was great fun going hone the evening after day 1 and madly planning out what I wanted for day 2!
Everyone else was there for 1 day and all made the most amazing and diverse creations - I have so many other things I want to go back and make now.
Izzy and Felix were so knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic and encouraging. They both guided and challenged, and through their expertise I think we all achieved more than we thought we were capable of.
I totally recommend the one day course but I warn you, it’s addictive!!

Felix and Izzy ran a simply fantastic course yesterday. It isn't an exaggeration to say they are among the best most supportive teachers of any subject I have tried (and that is a long list!). I would unreservedly recommend them to anyone. Strongly suggest people book WTF quickly because they are seriously underpriced.
Perfect.

This course was such an enjoyable experience where you have complete support and help with any idea that pops into mind. All the tools are extremely fun to use, and I loved searching in the scrap pile finding different interesting cogs and wheels! Felix and Izzy where very inspirational and supported you throughout the entire course of the day. Looking forward to a next possible course of "Kiss my glass"! - Ernie

My day at the scrap metal workshop was simply brilliant. I was made to feel comfortable and encouraged to be a creative as I pleased. The level of tuition was remarkable baring in mind the short time span and the potential new equipment being used. It felt safe and informative without retracting from a sense of creativity. Everyone there appeared to be happy with each different project. I would highly recommend this course and will try and return for more as soon as I can. Thank you!

Sign up straight away! My 14 year old son and myself really enjoyed the day. Felix and Izy are welcoming, knowledgeable and patient. There is a great heap of scrap metal and help to think up something to make. The workshop is stocked with vices, hammers, welders, brazing tools, metal cutting saws and plasma cutters and you are issued with all the necessary instructions, support and safety equipment. Lunch outside in the sun with others on the course - great background music selection (Felix) and proud photos of creations by us all at the end of the day. WTF - sign up!

V enjoyable course, hands on, good guidance, with course leaders who made me feel at ease from the start. Highly recommended

Brilliant tutors who were knowledgeable and patient. Fantastic facilities too. Highly recommend.

What a great day I had today with the WTF peeps. Clever, helpful & they know their stuff! Looking forward to booking another day workshop & will recommend to everyone I know. Thank you Felix & Annie

Absolutely amazing course! These two young women have huge amounts of knowledge, skill, and fun! You are well supervised, but also given free rein to try things out independently. I have now, well and truly got the welding bug thanks to these amazing women. (Wish I could move in!) VS

As a novice to welding, both Annie and Felix, the course instructors were patient and informative. They allowed me to be independent with my work and instructed when I sought help. Both were knowledgeable and advised on the minimum equipments needed and the manufacturers to avoid to set up a workshop in my garage.

As a total beginner this workshop proved to be just what I was looking for, providing a safe introduction to the type of tools and techniques available to use in creating metal sculptures. There was plenty of equipment and scrap metal raw materials to choose from, and advice, instruction and creative suggestions were provided when needed to help everyone achieve their chosen metal project. A very enjoyable and productive couple of days....

Good facilities for metalworking, friendly and informative tutors. Thoroughly enjoyable with everybody achieving their vision of a sculpture/piece.
