Introductory Welding Class for Artists

Epic

Brilliant class, learnt all about the basics of welding, the teacher was super knowledgable and happy to answer questions we had. Would recommend 100%!

Great three hours, Andrew is a great instructor and I wish I could have stayed longer. Learnt so much in such a short period of time.

Great class, learned a lot!

A really enjoyable class (intro to welding), excellent tuition and good fun. Would book other classes there too.

Really great introduction to welding. Useful tips and information on MIG welding. Came away feeling more confident.

A great introduction to MIG welding. Andrew was really helpful and I learnt a lot. The London Sculpture Workshop is a brilliant facility - I will be signing up for more courses!

It was an excellent workshop. Very informative and detailed especially for the time frame. Highly recommended.

What a morning I came home on cloud nine Andrew is a fantastic tutor he made you feel at ease and I learnt so much thank you very much I will be recommending you to other people cannot wait for next lesson again thanks to Andrew

The class was fantastic, we covered all the practical and safety essentials of welding, and were encouraged to try out a range of techniques ourselves to get used to the feel of it. The size of the group was great as there was plenty of space for questions, and it was very informative. I'll definitely be going back!

Awesome experience. Very hands on. Did more than just welding. Andrew is absolutely fenomenal. New passion unlocked!

Artists welding course for beginners was fantastic! learnt so much! Andrew our mentor, was great and extremely knowedgable! would recommend this class for sure!

Great course. Well explained excellent. Highly recommended

What a good tutor. Very clear explanation of the basics, and then lots of time for practical experience, with further help and advice one to one. Thoroughly recommended.

Great workshop, great tuition, plenty of practical time to take away some skills. Would recommend.

Enjoyable course. Time and content of the course was perfect for a beginner. Highly recommended.

Loved the workshop, the tutor was super knowledgeable and it was all very well planned. We had tools and protective equipment. Felt like a good introduction to the world of welding metal. I will probably sign up for a longer one, I didn't have too much time to practice. I feel this is normal during these types of workshops, especially introductory ones. Will definitively sign up for more.

I got there 10 minutes late due to the tube strike and wasn’t allowed in. No refund offered by the instructor. What a waste of money.

The course was great. Andrew explained everything very clearly and the studio is amazing. I think the practice time at the end would have been better if everyone had the same task in joining two bits on f metal (I.e. showed how to) rather than free form as I found it difficult how to visualise this without having had a go previously.

Great workshop! It exceeded my expectation as I got out more than I though I would. The teacher was fantastic.. attentive to questions, detailed in the welding technique and on general metal working tools. You get to practice a fair bit. Will strongly recommend if you would like to get a general feel for welding

Exactly what I wanted. Thank you!

Get to grips with the basics of welding in 3 hours. Knowledgable friendly instructor, loads of equipment and very practical and hands on. Also a lot of fun. (and not just for artists)

brilliant class

Really great afternoon. Learned an amazing amount in one day. Thanks.

The short evening class has given me the confidence to use this method to stick bits of metal together. Rather than putting in lots of practice making clean straight welds, we got to be creative and put something together. A great session with the result - a unique sculptural form.

really fun way to spend an evening. great instructor and met some nice people. went away with a hand made clothes hook!

Very fun evening and was exactly what I was looking for to improve my dodgy self-taught welding skills!

Excellent. Very informative

Wonderful teaching and lots of hands on time - can't recommend enough!

Good facility, interesting class. I certainly learned the basics. Useful as an intro and we had a practical time to. Worth doing it

Great course, would totally recommend,

Great experience !

Well paced and clear and straightforward introduction to key principles of welding. Andrew knows his stuff well especially the art elements. Recommend this to people wishing to get started on this area.

The course was packed with information and advice from the start. The pace was good too. The instructor was able to answer all questions put to him. After instructions were good as well as thorough. The trainer also took the time to help me understand ARC welding too as I have my late fathers old machine.

Well worth the money, the teacher was really engaging with amble time at the end to practice the welds learnt in class. Highly recommended!

Absolutely The Best Thank You Looking forward to more Welding!!

Great teaching and practical work however efforts should be made to give participants clean PPE or participants should be told to bring theirs.

Great morning , highly recommended

Andrew lead a fantastic class. Everything explained in a good amount of detail and enough time to practice the skills too. Ace afternoon.

Great session. Super teacher. Fun to be let loose with the tools.

Learnt a lot about welding techniques and managed to have a go with 3 different types of welding machines as well. Really enjoyed it. Andrew (the tutor) was excellent - explained everything really clearly and very encouraging and friendly. I would highly recommend.

My son said the class was professionally run and safe.

An excellent resource, the afternoon flew by, would love to visit again. Highly recommended.

Fantastik workshop. Learned loads, had a great time.

Great experience. Andrew was very helpful and taught us everything we could need for a first time at welding. Would recommend to anyone.

An enjoyable evening class taught by Andrew. As a basic introduction to welding it was well worth attending.

Great introduction to welding

Very insightful to the welding world, would recommend it to anyone want to try it. Andrew (the teacher) very nice fella who explained things really well and very approachable.

Really enjoyable day. Felt like I learned lots and really enjoyed the practice. I think it would be awesome as a full day course.

The only issue I had with the course was the fire alarm testing going off during a really important demonstration/explanation and it went on and on and on - it was definitely a test rather than an actual fire. It went off twice and was ear piercing. The tutor tried to talk through it but it was impossible to hear or concentrate and was actually painful. He did ask for the test to be cut short - it was obviously working - apparently they wanted to let the alarm test go on for 20 minutes! I suppose I would say don't schedule classes on alarm testing days during alarm testing hours.

very informative and welcoming :)

Andrew is an incredibly engaging, clear and helpful tutor. Small class size meant that everyone got a decent amount of practice time. I’ll be back!

Teacher was really good. Very nice person. Was taught the basics. But I feel enough info and practical, to set up and practice at Home / a workshop. Would definitely recommend if interested in welding

Had a great day. Would have preferred to have spent more time doing the welding than learning the ins and outs of each machine though.

This was a perfect intro to welding. There was enough opportunity to have a go as well as useful guidance on getting started. I now feel confident enough to practice at home.

Really enjoyable class was really informative and with plenty of info about owning a MIG welder at home. Was a really lovely space and an excellent place for picking up other skills, I fully intend to come back and learn more skills from the London Sculpture Workshop! I can't recommend this class more, it really was a great experience and really set you up for further learning about welding as well as being just and excellent fun day out. Only issue we had was people struggling to find Unit 0 where the workshop is based, you want to get there easily take the last left on the road into the estate and go behind the art cafe and hug the sea wall, the workshop is right at the end of the row, you're going the right way if there's a giant rusted out ship on your right.

Loved the class! It didn't go into too many difficult technical things, and we had 1h to weld different pieces of metal together to get a real feel of the stuff and excellent guidance from the teacher when we got stuck. Small class of only 7 people so it gave everyone a chance to make something. Lovely location as well, it almost felt like you were next to the seaside.

Really enjoyed it....learned lots....will be doing more sessions to keep my hand in.....instructor was very clear and concise with the info he was giving

A really good class. Hands on & fun!

Really informative and great, if you’ve never welded anything in your life. Recommend it!

Fantastically good. Well paced, lots of information, great practical session at the end, patient and experienced instructor. Really great, highly recommended.

Great class! Just enough time to understand the basics of welding but also get stuck in and try my hand at a bit myself. I loved it. Great instruction.

Perfect introduction. Relaxed atmosphere and small class size made this a really good way to acquaint myself with welding. Great tutor, I loved every minute of this class.

What a great course! Learnt so much in just 3 hours. Andrew explained things really well and was on hand all afternoon to help and guide us. Will be doing more courses with him! Really loved it and wasn’t as scared as I thought I’d be being a complete newbie to welding!

Very friendly and informative

It was good, got to use some machinery, learn about the various welds, different joints. Informative and fun, good bunch of class mates too.

Friendly and very informative class will be returning.
