S Brown reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop Part Two - Resin Finishing

"Having poured my resin in Part 1, I looked forward to attending Part 2 to complete the process. I am very happy with my finished coasters. As in the previous class, Richard took the time to to answer the questions I brought from Part 1 and refreshed the points I hadn't quite grasped first time around. The use of the machinery was not a new experience for me personally being familiar with all that we used, however for a novice user it is an ideal opportunity to get some hands on experience in a controlled environment. I am looking forward to being able to use the knowledge I have acquired in these 2 courses to add decorative dimensions to my future woodworking projects. I would recommend these courses to anyone considering working with resin for the first time. Looking forward to undertaking future courses."

Natasha Eynon reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"**posted on behalf of my partner** My partner bought this course for me for Christmas (however we have been asked to write separate reviews). I felt that it was a good experience to learn the foundations of epoxy, and am pleased with my work. I would like to have heard more about finishing, but that is another course."

The River Shop responded:

"Hi There, I’m so sorry to read you didn’t have a better experience on the course. We try our best to make sure everyone has the time and space to learn all about the process and enjoy themselves at the same time. Please get in touch with anything we could have done differently and we will do our best to incorporate your ideas and make the course run better for future students. Thank you for your feedback. Richard"

Natasha Eynon reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"Myself and my partner did this course (although we have been asked to post separate reviews). We were seeking to understand the basics of epoxy pouring, and the class was good for that. We learnt a lot about what not to do. The group was very friendly, which was nice, however, I would say that Richard could be a bit standoffish, particularly when certain people were asking questions."

The River Shop responded:

"Hi Natasha, I’m so sorry to read that the course didn’t meet your expectations, especially if you left feeling you had unanswered questions. The course is designed to facilitate as positive a learning experience as possible and my aim is to ensure everyone leaves feeling prepared and confident to tackle their own projects. Please feel free to get in touch if you want any support on this subject in the future. Sincerely Richard"

"I really loved this course! I came and did it with my Dad. It was a bit scary at first as I was the only kid. But the instructor, Richard, was really nice and helpful. I had so much fun and learnt a lot. I can’t wait to come back and do more courses! Ava (age 11)"

"I went along with my friend as it was something she was interested in and wanted a buddy to join her. I found the course very informative, it kept my attention and was fun. I was impressed that I managed to create a cool resin river, Richard was a great teacher, answered all the questions and kept the class interactive and everyone involved."

Gill reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"Informative and fun. Richard is a patient, learner centred tutor. He gave us a basic understanding of how best to handle the materials and then practice the basics under his careful supervision. As a group we achieved some really satisfying results. I now feel inspired and equipped with the confidence to have a go at a bigger and more challenging project."

Nicola Harrison reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"5 star review! Thank you so much for such a lovely introduction to Expoxy resin. I had such a great afternoon on the beginners course. Richard’s knowledge, experience and passion coupled with a desire to help others to develop their skills and craft make this really enjoyable, informative and relaxed. I loved your workshop and the shop area next next door. Well done for creating such a great space to deliver your courses and to share your experience. Everyone in the course was so lovely and friendly, it was great to share the workshop with so many nice people. I would love to attend part 2 to create the coaster. Thank you again. Your course has exceeded all my expectations. So grateful you could accommodate me. I would highly recommend this course to everyone. Kindest regards Nicola"

S Brown reviewed: Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop

"As a YouTube novice to the world of resin with no practical experience, this was an ideal starting point for me. Richard was an engaging tutor who took the time to answer my own specific questions, as well as those from the other students. I would recommend this class to anyone wishing to start their journey into resin creativity. Suggestion - an handout to all students at the end of the class whether hard copy or e-mailed to all class members with pertinent information."
