Lili Giacobino reviewed: Welding course: Mig, Tig, Stick, with the Iron Lady - Bradwell Blacksmiths

"Brilliant workshop. I have really enjoyed my time and learned so much during this one day taster. Natalie is an excellent teacher and she has such a great energy. I appreciated that each student had their own booth so that you can experiment in your own space and at your own speed. There were different techniques to discover and play with and each of us (we were 5) came out with a smile and with some kind of little sculpture or experiment that they were proud of. Definitely recommend."

Henry Buckeldee reviewed: Welding course: Mig, Tig, Stick, with the Iron Lady - Bradwell Blacksmiths

"Excellent course. Given as much instruction as you want and then left to play. I left feeling given more practice I could achieve a good standard of TIG welding. Now planning a project so I can return. There is a lot to take in, and the final 2 hours you can choose what process you want to concentrate on. Used TIG on mild steel and stainless with good results. Up to date equipment with things like HF start on TIG, and reactive welding helmets, make it so much easier. And a final tip from Natalie on how to spot weld with TIG was so useful. She is a very passionate and supportive teacher, helps you to get it just right and succeed. Make the most of your time, and stay to the end in the immersive atmosphere."

Franni reviewed: Welding course: Mig, Tig, Stick, with the Iron Lady - Bradwell Blacksmiths

"Outstanding course. Very roomy workshop which was well-organised for students. More than adequate supplies of safety equipment. Fantastic welding masks. Tutor is massively knowledgeable and experienced but manages to give clear and easy to follow instructions and demonstrations. I was amazed that we, as complete beginners, were welding within an hour and a half of arriving. Excellent range of kit to try. We came home really delighted and keen to have another go. Suitable for all ages"

Freddy Saben reviewed: Welding course: Mig, Tig, Stick, with the Iron Lady - Bradwell Blacksmiths

"I went on Natalie's - Stick,Tig,Mig - welding course to learn about the different welding machines and to get some experience of welding. The course was fantastic and I enjoyed every second of it. I ended the day having gained some understanding of welding techniques and how to use the different types of welding machines. Natalie was so helpful and explained everything before we were let loose in her welding booths and she gives you tuition throughout the day. This is a very good beginners course and I recommend it to anyone who wants to know something of the world of welding."

"A great one day course to give you a taster. Natalie explains each different type of welding and then demonstrates. With her help and support you then get to do it yourself. You are encouraged to practice and experiment. When something goes wrong or you have questions Natalie is there to offer encouragement and advice. I've now learnt enough to go away and practice at home."

"This 1 day course was amazing. I am a complete beginner and had some sight issues but Natalie was understanding and helped me overcome this problem. Natalie's enthusiasm and knowledge is infectious. She makes the day fun, teaches you all you need to know about safety, and how to use the equipment. Once you begin to learn to weld then its practice, practice and more practice. The course is a great insight into welding and I would strongly recommend this course. 10 out 10, 5 stars and Natalie is a great teacher. Thank you so much Natalie. Pete"

"What a fantastic day of welding I had on this course, Natalie is an unbelievable teacher that shows you so many skills in a days'course that you can then take away with you and practice practice practice. Her own skill level is immense and it’s great to watch her at work from under your welding helmet!! A course unmissable if your a complete beginner or just a bit rusty. Go and do it!!. Loved it. Thank you Natalie. Steve"

Chris Turner reviewed: Welding course: Mig, Tig, Stick, with the Iron Lady - Bradwell Blacksmiths

"I have just completed this one day course and have to say it was the best best fun I have had in ages. It is a full on day, but as well as enjoying it for the totally hands on approach, I learnt so much in such a short space of time. Natalie has an infectious passion for her work that she passes on with a warm and easy manner. She is easy to work with and gets you doing work that seemed impossible beforehand. If you think you can't weld then Natalie will quickly prove you wrong. Many thanks Natalie for such a great experience! (TIG rules from now on)."
