Jack reviewed: Kitchen Knife Course

"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."

Clive Macdonald reviewed: Kitchen Knife Course

"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"

Mike Haydock reviewed: Introduction to Epoxy Resin Block Casting

"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!"
