WTF Workshops reviews

Andrew reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"This was a great course. I never did any welding before but with instructions and supervision from Shar and Dizzy it was alot of fun. Dizzy and Shar are very encouraging and will answer any questions. If like me you've never done this sort of thing before you'll have a very enjoyable day taking you out of your routine and leaving you with a notion that you might be an artist after all!"

WTF Workshops responded:

"Hi Andrew, thank you for your kind review! Your motorbike was brilliant, a fantastic use of scrap metal and welding. "

James reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"I selected this course as I wanted an introduction to metalwork and sculpture. All joining instructions were clear. Was met by Izzy and Shar who were instructors for the day for our group of 6. The instruction was very clear and friendly and they were on hand all day to help both with the technical and artistic aspects of creating a metal sculpture. It was great fun and would highly recommend. I will probably go on and do another course in metalwork before deciding whether to invest in some kit. "

WTF Workshops responded:

"Hi James, thank you for your kind review! We are so glad you enjoyed the day and it was great having you in the workshop. Let us know if you carry on with metalwork, we'd love to see any future projects! "

Kimble reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"Excellent. Huge array of equipment to work with. Plenty of help at hand from the two tutors who were friendly and informative. Never welded before but by the end of the day had made a passable garden flower scuplture from scrap. Highly recommended."

Jackie Thomas reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"We had an excellent day, where I learnt a new skill and had great fun. The whole set up worked well, easy to find and on site parking. Two friendly but skilled tutors to 6 learners was a good ratio, always help on hand. We all made very different items, but were all pleased with our creations. I really recommend it. Thank you ."

WTF Workshops responded:

"Hi Jackie, thank you so much for your review! We are glad you enjoyed your day and pleased with your creation :)"

Sam reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"This course is great, I've been five times now! Felix and Izzy were excellent teachers, giving enough instruction to feel confident in using all the tools and then enough space to make mistakes and learn, and still end up with something you're happy with at the end of the day. It is a friendly environment, a really good way to experience something totally different to the day to day job."

WTF Workshops responded:

"Hi Sam, thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so happy you enjoyed the course and that you were able to take home a project you were happy with! "

Chris and Fran reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"Fran and I had a great day. Felix and Annie made us feel very welcome, they showed us the variety of tools we could use. They clearly explained the health and safety issues. Then we were let loose!! Sorted through the scrap metal finding interesting pieces to make our projects. Either Felix or Annie were always on hand to help and give encouragement. Fran and I were delighted with the bizarre pieces we made. A really fun,busy,exciting day. Fantastic instructors. Thank you both. Chris &Fran"

WTF Workshops responded:

"Well, thank you both for coming! We were both impressed with what you made and how you went about it. What an awesome pair you are! "

James reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"An excellent day course for scrap metal welding. I’d already done some welding but had never gotten my hands on some scrap metal and a well-equipped workshop. It was a great day and I almost finished a rather ambitious project of a life sized electric guitar. The tutors were very helpful and all safety equipment was provided. Thanks a lot! "

WTF Workshops responded:

"Thanks so much for your review James. Your project was wonderful and we were very impressed. Your Father did great work too. Well done both! Hope you can join us again in the future."

Andy reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"Appreciated the opportunity to learn use of various tools. Think carefully about how ambitious your project might be. The time passes quickly & I felt somewhat under pressure to complete my piece which detracted from enjoying the social aspect. Otherwise, a great creative experience. Would love to do some more."

WTF Workshops responded:

"It was a pleasure having you on the course Andy. Yours was indeed a very ambitious project. Well done for completing it in the time available! "

Linda Kirkpatrick reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"Thank you Felix and Annie for a very enjoyable day, I found the introduction informative and helpful! So much material to choose from and new skills to learn! Having to use my brain all day left me exhausted but very satisfied with my project, although, it was weird and wonderful! A lady even commented on it at the station! Liz and I had such a time venturing into the world of scrap metal wonderland. Thank you again for a fabulous day!!!! "

WTF Workshops responded:

"Thanks so much for your kind review Liz!"

Liz Gibbs reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"Had a really good day, although exhausting! Enjoyed using the equipment and learning new skills. Annie and Felix were great, explained everything well and helped whenever needed. A great experience. "

WTF Workshops responded:

"Thanks so much for your review Liz!"

Abi reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"I bought this course as a gift for my friend Jemima for her birthday. I had such an amazing time- thanks Annie and Izi! Annie and Izi gave us an introduction tour of the workshop showing us the equipment we would be able to use and the scrap metal we would be able to choose bits from. It was great fun hunting through all the bits and pieces and thinking about how to join them all together. Annie and Izi explained which bits I had chosen could be welded together and which would have to be bolted. Out of a valve body for an automatic gear box, a bike chain, forks, washers and other bits of scrap I made an owl to go on my wall (which I love). Annie and Izi were really helpful but also let me crack on with using the equipment when I felt confident. I had great fun using the mig welder and the angle grinder- I even been looking up how much they are to buy since I got home 🤣 Loved this course so much! Thanks guys! Highly recommended! "

WTF Workshops responded:

"Hi Abi Thanks so much for your lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure having you both attend the course and we totally loved both of your quirky creations. All the best Annie"

Pam Plus 1 !! reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"We had an amazing day with Annie and Izzy, learnt so much and their approach to training made the day both fun and informative. They managed expectations well and jumped in to help when needed but left you alone enough to build your confidence with the equipment. Highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to try their hand at welding. Thank you ladies we had a great time. "

WTF Workshops responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review! We hope see you again."

Vanda Scholey reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"The course was great and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to learn something new. There were lots of materials to chose from, great tools to use and clear instructions were given. Both instructors were very knowledgeable and helpful while keeping the day really relaxed and fun. And you get to take your creation home with you! I'm thrilled to have learnt new skills while enjoying the process."

WTF Workshops responded:

"Thank you Vanda! Best of luck with all of your creative pursuits. "

Simon Runton reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"What a fantastic day. Annie and Izi were so helpful and generous in sharing their skills and experience with the group, nothing seemed too much trouble. Time flew by and we left with a sense of achievement from making something tangible from pieces of scrap. Great fun."

WTF Workshops responded:

"Thank you! We loved having you with us for the day. "

Rob Swan reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"I was with five other people and the whole session was fantastic. Good balance of introducing equipment health and safety and leaving folks to get on and create whilst being there for help, guidance and support. Thoroughly recommended. "

WTF Workshops responded:

"Thank you Rob. I'm glad you enjoyed what we offer. "

Sarah-Jane reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"So if you want a creative day - love seeing things repurposed and want to have a go at using tools and techniques to join metal - then this course is perfect Absolutely friendly and welcoming workshop space. I went alone but I’m thinking it’s a great day for a group of friends. It’s a small ratio so it felt very safe and there was plenty of space and time to use all the tools. Excellent presentation of tools and techniques. Very very encouraging and supportive hands on help to see projects get going and develop to an end result. Loads of scrap metal and bits to create whatever. I saw a lamp - a lantern - a garden planter - a robot - a garden ornament Some people had some clear ideas - others just rummaged. I’ll definitely be doing it again. "

WTF Workshops responded:

"Thank you Sarah! That’s lovely feedback. I hope we see you again. "

john bullivant reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"Brilliant course, very helpful encouraging practice and variety of techniques; just what i wanted"

Polly reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"Such a great day!! Expert knowledge and super friendly accessible tuition throughout. I can't recommend WTF enough. They give you just enough guidance and just enough freedom to create something to be proud of and to truly call your own creation. Book now, you won't regret it! "

Karen reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"I had a really enjoyable day learning how to create things from metal. The tutors were friendly, helpful and encouraging. They provided good advice re what was achievable in a day and showed me how to create a fabulous garden sculpture. I’m so pleased. I enjoyed welding and left the course with something I’m really proud of. Only advice is to take loads of layers of clothes as it was rather cold in the workshop. "

WTF Workshops responded:

"Thanks for the lovely review Karen. Yes, it was so cold on Friday! We had all the heaters on but when it's really cold it's all about the layers and overalls over the top, you're right. I'm glad you had a good day otherwise. "

Fiona Dowling reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.

"Brilliant day with Felix and Izzy who were really welcoming and helpful. Learned loads in a short time, with all the processes explained clearly and concisely, and quickly felt confident to work independently but also ask for support when required. I was really pleased with my finished piece and keen to go back to do more. Would highly recommend!"

WTF Workshops responded:

"Thanks Fiona! It was a fun day ☺️"

Joihn reviewed: Creative metalwork and welding, scrap metal sculpture.
