The bronze workshop with Giles at the London Sculpture workshop is absolutely amazing! It is my 4th (maybe 5th) bronze workshop, and I for sure will return! Giles, is not only a great instructor, providing clear and concise directions, but also provides incredible guidance for specific ideas each student has! I highly recommend signing up for this (or any for that matter) workshop at the LSW! 🙌

Giles and London sculpture workshop team is extraordinary in both technical knowledge, communication and workshop guidance. I keep returning back to join the bronze casting class because I feel I am keep learning new things and refine to improve all the time. Giles is extremely patient and clear in guidance. Highly recommend the course to people who interested in sculpture to join no matter who artist level it is. The course is friendly to brand new beginners who has not create sculpture before as well.
