Matt T reviewed: Garden Sculpture Course

"A very engaging course, great presentation and discussion with the leaders Billy and Stuart. The day was very full and well organised, with plenty of flex for customisation and great takeaway product at the end of the day. "

Stephanie reviewed: Garden Sculpture Course

"I absolutely LOVED this course and highly recommend to anyone and everyone who fancies exploring their creativity! I have always wanted to explore metalworking and creating sculptures and when I came across the course for garden sculpture I was super enthused. I love gardening and to create my own pieces was a joy. Billy is a consummate professional and a great instructor. Having just two of us on the course meant we got a lot of training and input from the first instruction on what the day would hold to how the forge worked, working the metal through to welding. I loved every minute and will definitely be looking for more opportunities to create more garden sculptures. Between Billy and Stu, my co-learner and I were learning and creating all day. The icing on the cake was the beautiful location, nestled in the trees. A truly mindful, joyful day"

Bill's Workshop responded:

"Hi Stephanie, I'm thrilled you had such a joyous and creative day with us! It was a pleasure to teach someone so enthusiastic and energetic about sculpture and getting to grips with the art form. You are welcome back anytime! Take care and keep crafting! - Billy"

Rhiannon reviewed: Garden Sculpture Course

"I was very lucky to get the last spot on the blacksmithing garden sculpture course. Never done any blacksmithing before but Billy was brilliant. Everything was explained really well with much humour and patience, the area is stunning, properly feels like in the middle of nowhere and you get to walk away with some beautiful creations that you did yourself. I also got to have a go using a grinder and a MIG welder, none of which I've used before, but under Billy's tutelage I was more than happy with. A brilliant day overall and I have something to show for my efforts that doesn't take up any more space in the house."

Bill's Workshop responded:

"Hey Rhiannon! Thanks for much for the kind review and i'm thoroughly pleased you enjoyed your day in the forge! It was great hosting you and hope to see you again in the future on a different course perhaps, until then i hope the massive mushrooms you made enjoy there new garden spot! All the best Billy"
