"Great course well run.
Good balance of demonstration, supervision and independent practice.
I had no set expectations but had a really fun and informative day and left with a beautiful knife as well as a new found appreciation for skilled craftsmen like Dave.
I would recommend this course to people interested in learning about the craftsmanship of hand made kitchen knives."
"What a great, enjoyable day with Dave at his workshop! Dave is a great tutor. His love of his artisan skill is infectious. Very clear instructions and guidance throughout the day. Dave is very good at giving you confidence to have a go but has great judgement when to provide some assistance/further guidance at key points. A great sense of achievement and well being at the end of the day when you walk out of the workshop with a beautiful, useful kitchen implement"
"I really enjoyed this course. Dave was incredibly generous in sharing his expertise and was more than happy to answer questions as we went along. I learnt a lot and it's given me the 'nudge' I needed to get started on the resin casting projects I have in mind."
"Brilliant day - massively rewarding!
Dave is a brilliant teacher - supportive, encouraging, patient and perfectly clear in his instructions and advice. He clearly has a lot of knowledge and experience in bladesmithing, and was able to share this with us during the day - the balance of hands on and hands off teaching was spot on, enabling us to leave with a stunning knife that I feel I created, and a true sense of achievement!
Dave has clearly put a lot of effort and consideration in to designing the course, resulting in a really enjoyable and rewarding day, thanks Dave!"
