Ness reviewed: Introduction to Epoxy Resin Block Casting

"We really enjoyed this course. David made us feel very at ease. We were late, and I had an allergy that meant I couldn't wear the normal gloves and he took this in his stride and was very kind. He is massively knowledgeable about resin and was able to apply his knowledge to my partner's interest. The session felt friendly throughout whilst also being safe and informative. It can be daunting trying something new, as you inevitably go wrong and David was happy to talk though common errors and how to overcome them and helped us when we went wrong in the session. We really enjoyed it and can't wait to see our blocks."

Hand forged Yorkshire responded:

"Many thanks indeed for your very kind review Ness, I really appreciate it. I’m so pleased you both enjoyed the day and found it informative. Really great to meet you both and have you in the workshop. Cracking job with your designs, they look fantastic! Kindest regards Dave"

Karen Slater reviewed: Introduction to Epoxy Resin Block Casting

"A great course. Learned about different resins and the choice of materials, I chose pinecones as they gave such an interesting finish. I used the resin block for a knife handle (the knife course was the following week). But as a stand alone artwork they are truly unique. Great course just at the right pace. Dave is a great tutor professional, knowledgeable and very patient, was a real pleasure. I thoroughly recommend this course. "

Hand forged Yorkshire responded:

"Really appreciate your lovely review Karen, very kind of you thank you so much. You cast a stunning block that looks incredible on the knife, excellent job!! So glad you enjoyed the course it was an absolute pleasure having you in the workshop"

Jill reviewed: Introduction to Epoxy Resin Block Casting

"I absolutely recommend this course to anyone. The small numbers on the course meant that Dave could give you his full attention, it didn't matter if you were a complete beginner, like me, or had some experience. Whether you had an end goal or just wanted to try, Dave was able to support all of us. His warm, friendly manner put everyone at ease straight away. It certainly gave me the appetite to try more resin casting and even think about making a knife (another Dave Brearey course) to be able to use the resin block I've just made as the handle. "

Hand forged Yorkshire responded:

"Many thanks indeed for your very kind review Jill, it is hugely appreciated. So pleased you enjoyed the day, it was fantastic to meet you and you did a brilliant job with your design. It would be an absolute pleasure to have you back in the workshop to make a knife."

Gary Parkins reviewed: Introduction to Epoxy Resin Block Casting

"Superb morning with Dave, who clearly goes through process of preparation, costs, skills etc so simply that you feel comfortable when the time comes to get hands on. I would recommend the course wholeheartedly and believe you will enjoy the experience, but be mindful that although the process is instant, your results will take a few days to receive due to the processes that need to be followed after the Resin Pour. In all, great value, very informative and as a taster gives the appetite to continue, whether as a hobby or a possible vocation. Thank you"

"An excellent course for people who know nothing, know a little or are looking to improve their already garnered skills! For 2 people who knew very little about Resin, we now know a whole lot more and the 2 hours flew by - could have spent all day in that workshop with Dave! He was brilliant! Welcoming, encouraging and made us feel like we were pros! Highly recommend for those curious/looking for something different. Thanks Dave! Top Fella! "
