Helen Eames - 1 September 2024
Had a lovely morning playing with resin in the beautiful river shop studio. It was a great introduction to using resin and I'd love to come back for me workshops in the future
Helen Eames - 24 August 2024
I really enjoyed this workshop on a rainy bank holiday Saturday morning. Richard is happy to answer all and every question you might have. A great selection of flowers were available to choose from and it was fun to create beautiful coasters. Can't wait until they're dried and out of the moulds
Samera - 18 August 2024
Amazing class. Took it with my best friend and daughter, we all enjoyed it and loved our final work. It’s a class that I would prefer it started just an hour later…

Anna - 24 July 2024
Great experience making something useful and stunning with your own hands, even if you've never tried before.
Zoë - 22 July 2024
I had a wonderful time learning how to dry flowers and the basics of epoxy. Richard was very warm and enthusiastic, and everything was very clear and organized. The selection of dried flowers allowed for a fun and creative experience!
Fiona - 14 July 2024
This was my second workshop with The Rivershop - I previously did the Beginner’s Breadboard and this time I did the introduction to Epoxy Resin. I thoroughly enjoyed the class - Richard is extremely knowledgeable and generously shares tips and tricks he has learned through experience. I upgraded to the charcuterie board and I’m excited to come back for part two when I will finish off that, and the coasters I began in part one.
Anna - 14 July 2024
Fun class - great to learn new skills and be creative!

Great class taught by Richard. Took us through everything we needed to know to use epoxy. I'll be back for more tuition after I have tried it at home too.

Informative and fun lesson. Thanks very much. 🤓
Lillian - 13 June 2024
Great class which was fun to attend. Richard made it a truly enjoyable class. I am looking forward to part two.
Sarah - 13 June 2024
I had been interested in working with epoxy resin for some time and this course was a great introduction. Richard was brilliant at taking us through every stage of the process. Everything was well-thought out - all the materials were provided to each individual, and thorough explanations were given regarding the process and common things to be aware of. I thought the group size was about right (in this case 6 people attended), given the size of the space. A very relaxed and friendly workshop. I've already recommended it to friends and would definitely consider attending another one.
Karen - 9 June 2024
It was a lovely workshop space. With a great selection of dried leaves and flowers to choose from, when making our coasters. We also had the opportunity to press some leaves and flowers, beforehand. Richard our tutor, was pleasant and knowledgeable. I feel like I have found something I would like to explore, and I will definitely go back at some point to do more. It was very relaxing and enjoyed this opportunity to be creative. I can't wait to receive my coasters : )
Liam - 8 June 2024
Really good course. Instructor was really knowledgeable and very forthcoming with advice. Would highly recommend!

It was an excellent session. Wonderful instructor who explained everything very clearly. Looking forward to coming back for more
Mohan - 2 June 2024
nice course, good teacher. Had fun.
Costina - 22 May 2024
I learned quite a lot, the fact that flowers require a certain preparation, the resin used must be chosen according to the thickness of the object we are making and that we need a lot of imagination. The location was wonderful, the workshop was supported by Richard and he was very open to all the questions that I had. Thank you for this experience

S - 22 May 2024
I loved getting exposure to epoxy and learning more about the flower drying process – and doing it the right way! Though watching YouTube videos is helpful, what I enjoyed most about The River Shop class was being hands-on and gaining the practical skills while gaining extra tips and tricks from our very knowledgable teacher. Thank you again!
Yasmin - 19 May 2024
Great experience. Did the epoxy resin with flower workshop and it was so much fun as well as being informative for any budding artists that want to explore resin. Options to do further items afterwards and lots of flower/leaf options too. Richard was very helpful and the group was a good size. Would definitely recommend and come again.
Bridget - 14 May 2024
Great class. Really enjoyed learning how to work with epoxy resin and can’t wait to receive my finished product! Highly recommend.

Excellent workshop in a great environment, had so much fun!
Louise Chisholm - 12 May 2024
I had a great time time learning about and trying resin pouring. I'm looking forward to the next one :)
Julia - 6 May 2024
We attended a Saturday class and really enjoyed the experience. It provided a good introduction to Epoxy Resin pouring. The tuition was easy to follow and understand.. The only build is we would have liked to have learned more about how the colours work before making our pours.
Andy - 6 May 2024
The course was well presented, Richard was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the session. The facilities/workshop was well laid out with all required materials being available. The class size was just right and the instruction was well paced. I came away having gained hands on experience and confident that I can move forward to start my own projects.
Thanks for a great day.
Sarah - 5 May 2024
Really enjoyed the Beginners Epoxy Resin workshop and I will be returning for the second part. Richard is a great instructor. The workshop was informative and well-organised. Definitely a good introduction to epoxy resin and I feel confident that I can now try more of this at home.
Leanne - 22 April 2024
Came away with a lot of knowledge for basic resin pouring.
Very friendly and informative teacher.

Myself and daughters (adult) had an absolutely brilliant time today making flower coasters , Richard our teacher was really knowledgeable , helpful , kind and so much patience with us . I would highly recommend doing this class , it’s a great introduction and we will be back for more classes.
Chloe - 7 April 2024
Really enjoyed the course. Great location, easy to find, spacious workshop and very clear instructions from Dan. The only thing I would have liked more of would be on techniques for the colouring of the resin.
Wayne Parsons - 7 April 2024
I did three course in one day and I have to that Dan was as helpful and friendly on the last course as he was on the first course. Really well delivered and at the end of the day I felt confident to to try for myself. Well worth it.
- 7 April 2024
Great course! Very instructive and fun. Great instructor, lots of detailed tips and tricks.
Patrick Tshibangu - 11 March 2024
I think it’s a really good intro to Resin craft and could suit any beginners.
Chloe West - 9 March 2024
Great way to learn the techniques and tricks. Excellent trainers, learn by just doing with instruction along the way. Great fun too, so inspirational, want to do more!
Alina - 8 March 2024
This class was my birthday present and this is something I wanted to try for a really long time.
The teacher was great!
I'm unable to give a full 5-star rating because we didn't get enough wooden pieces for our resin work, even though there was plenty of resin left.
We had limited practice time, and if you wanted to do more, you had to pay quite a bit extra for more wood, around £50-60.
Saya Ide - 5 March 2024
Enjoyed the workshop very much. Richard is knowledgeable and the session was very informative. It was first time for us to try Epoxy resin but made us want to try more workshops in the future - highly recommended!
Ionut (Jon) Onea - 3 March 2024
Very proffesional, clear explanatiins, I highly recomand.
Alex Rosen - 11 February 2024
They said they will mail me my piece after it dries, if I leave a review (but the review doesn't have to be positive). So here it is! The instructor was good and funny. The class was well-organized. I don't know how it turned out yet though because I haven't received it yet :)
What the listing didn't mention is that this is the "Part 1" class. There's also a "Part 2" class where you sand and finish the piece to make it look nicer. I would have appreciated knowing that up front.
Overall, I enjoyed it.
George Morris - 11 February 2024
Great knowledgeable and passionate teacher and really fun experience. Will be back for another class!
Robin - 7 February 2024
Great course. Great instructor. Clear and informative instructions but a handout would have been helpful.
Sam - 7 February 2024
An excellent intro to epoxy resin course, incredibly well prepared, paced and presented, with lots of time to ask individualized questions.
Steven Fiore - 6 February 2024
Great fun course. Learnt a bit and got to make a nice little board.
Miriam Fiore - 6 February 2024
We had great fun and learnt a lot. Only wish we could do the 2 stages closer together or have the team finish off hte thing we make before they ship to us.
Raul - 5 February 2024
Very pleasant to be part of the course. Very well explained and very friendly. Never be bored to take part of o e of the course. Well done
Raul Irimia - 5 February 2024
One of the courses which I will go again and again and never bored to be there. Very friendly and well explained courses. As a suggestion I would say to give a paper with basic informations or give a bit of time to the person to take some note. Anyway I very appreciate that you guys after the course answer our questions or keep in touch with us for anything.
jim callender - 4 February 2024
A great into to the world of resin art. Carefully explained and a fun experience
Iain Webb - 4 February 2024
Great beginner course, thank you very much
Geraldine - 4 February 2024
I bought my husband, Rashed, an Epoxy Resin for Beginners workshop as a Christmas present. He attended on 3rd Feb and found the session really informative and engaging. He said the teacher, Richard, was very knowledgable and patient, and he found the whole experience very encouraging. He is keen to refund to another workshop at River Shop in the future. Thank you so much!
Rashed - 4 February 2024
A great and thorough introduction. Methodical, imaginative and enjoyable, Richard's precise approach makes the whole process enormous fun.
Natasha Kenyon - 14 January 2024
I thoroughly enjoyed the class and making my own coaster! Looking forward to receiving the finished result
Jasvindar Brar - 14 January 2024
It's a really enjoyable workshop. I've learned skills that I can go away with and practise and will definitely return to learn more. Its a lovely way to spend time, meeting new people and learning a craft in a relaxed and friendly environment. I highly recommend it.
Margie - 9 January 2024
I learnt a lot about how to prep for epoxy work and the teacher was very helpful with explaining the process and any questions that i had.

Paul Gooch - 8 January 2024
The teacher, Richard, was great - really informative, personable and engaging. I was a complete beginner to anything like this and learnt loads thanks to him!
The venue was very cool and all materials were provided. It was a little cold so I recommend taking layers if doing the workshop in winter.
Something to note is that you don't really have a finished product after this workshop - you need to do part 2 to finish the item (I wasn't aware of this when booking). With this in ind it feels a little over priced. But all in all a great workshop and very informative.
Lucy - 8 January 2024
Really fun afternoon. Very informative session and really happy with my coasters!
Would definitely recommend.
Paul Williamson - 7 January 2024
Had a great time at the beginners epoxy resin class - Richard was a great teacher and we'll be back for the next one!
Natty & Alexandra - 15 December 2023
A very enjoyable and informal 2 hours, we bought our own pressed flowers from my daughter’s bouquet to make coasters as a memento, other pretty pressed flowers were provided. Can’t wait to receive our finished coasters.

Dean - 4 November 2023
Very thorough and informative class, I would highly recommend this as I learned a lot.
Cindy - 4 November 2023
River shop said they would post coasters free of charge if a review was left. I did not want to leave a review and said I would pay for postage. River shop ghosted me and I did not receive the coasters. Blackmail for reviews is unethical
Rachael - 27 October 2023
Lovely class, knowledgeable and helpful teacher. A great way to spend the morning!
Natasha - 26 October 2023
An extremely informative class. I really enjoyed the extra opportunity to pick our own flowers and learn how to press them. The teacher was kind and helpful, he gave us lots of useful tips for future resin making. The work place was also lovely for the class :)

A great introduction to resin art. We found Richard very knowledgeable and informative. A well run and enjoyable course.
Linda Kehaya - 10 October 2023
Brilliant afternoon! Richard was a great teacher and talked us through each step. The class was well prepared and taken at a steady, un-rushed pace. I have definitely got the bug for resin craft now and will be booking p2 of the course to learn how to finish the piece off. Great fun!
daff kjellstrom - 9 October 2023
Was great, lovely teacher. It was quite a lot of "deadtime" that could have been more efficient so we would have had time to learn or test more things.
Libby Marchant - 9 October 2023
Good beginner course to learn about river pours using raw edge wood and resin. Lots of choice of colours for the resin section. It's a shame you have to come back to finish the product (we live miles away). Maybe provide some basic instructions for finishing for those who can not come back easily?
Robert Taylor - 9 October 2023
The team at the River Shop were excellent, the lesson was clear, and the epoxy river we made looked fantastic. I am about to book more lessons there.
Bea - 21 September 2023
Really enjoyed this class! The teacher was happy to answer all questions and provided a lot of information, the studio was very well organized and clean. There were a lot of flowers to choose from and different coasters mold. Overall a very fun experience for all experience levels
Marie - 20 September 2023
I loved the class! It was a small class with only 3 of us there but that meant that it was extra informative with great chat and explanations. Would highly recommend and would love to come back to do another class soon.
Fern - 16 September 2023
Great class, really pleased with how the resin coasters turned out! Class was a good length and clear explanations for newbies like me
Anita and John - 12 September 2023
Richard gave us a warm welcome. We were on the beginners course. Richard taught us how to create a mould, calculate and mix the resin, and gave lots of tips for taking this hobby further. He was a great teacher, asking, encouraging and answering questions throughout the session. Richard is an expert in resin and we would recommend this course to anyone. All materials and equipment were provided and we had lots of fun being creative and getting messy.
Balazs Gonda - 10 September 2023
Was great and useful, thank you
joe brash - 10 September 2023
I've played with resin for 4 years but so useful to get a few tips and new ideas. excellent. thanks.

Excellent course well structured, very enjoyable, inclusive, fun and relaxed enviroment. Richard is a great teacher, all our trays were ready with the required tools, he broke down the steps in a bite size manner making sure each one of us understand and followed along. He has a lovely relaxed teaching style making the course fun and relaxed.
Eva - 18 August 2023
The workshop was fun teacher was very friendly and informative.
Jolanta - 16 August 2023
I was a complete novice to Epoxy Resin workshop. The class was very informative , Richard was friendly and encouraging to ask questions and explore our options. It inspired me to look how I could apply what I learned into practice. I left buzzing with ideas of upcycling some items at home and creating new pieces. I definitely will be booking Part2 of the workshop not to mention other classes
Joe - 13 August 2023
Richard was a great instructor during the beginner’s epoxy resin course. The venue exceeded our expectations - well organised with all materials provided. Very enjoyable course with a small and friendly class. I will go again to other classes.

Lazarus Cardoza - 6 August 2023
The second course I've attended. Excellent teaching delivery (fundamental); great course format ; really good interaction amongst other students. Richard is a great ambassador of good teaching - connects with his class members ; listens to their needs while focusing on the course and students objective.
We need teachers like Richard & Dan. Good job guys.
Keep up this business for the greater good of our community.
I'm really proud of you guys.

I took the beginners resin class today, with my granddaughter. The venue was well set up for us. We were talked through everything and were given a lot of useful information. We had great fun in the class and everyone was so nice. The instructor was very knowledgeable and was kind enough to answer all our questions. I would certainly take another class, when I am back in England.
Jo-Ann Smith - 10 July 2023
My husband and I had a great time at the resin flower workshop! I wanted to try something new and I had no experience with resin at all. Donadel was very friendly, knowledgable and helpful, he answered all of our beginner questions! It was a great workshop to start with as a beginner. We’ll be back for the river coaster workshop!

First of all what an amazing experience!
This class was my birthday present and I have to say is actually a very nice idea to give as a gift!
The teacher ( Dan if I remember correctly) is been very welcoming, has good knowledge and he is been very patience with us in explaining and helping.
The venue was quite nice, lot of space and artwork to admire for inspiration.
Definitely a 5-star experience for me.
Keep up the good job.

This class was purchased as a Mothers Fay gift, and my mum absolutely loved it. We got to get crafty, learn a new process and make something we could keep.
Our tutor and workshop mates were all lovely. All in all, a great time. Many thanks!

Craig Emerson - 6 June 2023

You can watch as many Youtube clips as you like but there is no substitute to rolling up your sleeves and getting involved under Richards expert tuition to understand the process of all things to do with epoxy resin.
The stage 1 epoxy resin course was all I’d hoped for and more.
Many thanks Craig
Donna Noel - 4 June 2023
I really enjoyed the workshop and learned a lot. Richard is a good teacher and other members of the team are very supportive and knowledgeable. It was a positive and friendly learning environment.
Kathryn Wood - 4 June 2023
This is my 2nd epoxy course, having done the seascape course in April. This was a great introduction to working with wood and epoxy. The workshop is well organised and set up. Everything required is pre- ready so it makes it easy to follow. Richard is a resin guru and his knowledge and experience shines through. Even though I’ve been dabbling with some home projects, I learnt a lot about resin and took away some great tips. Stuff you can’t learn on you tube!
For me, the fun part is the creative pouring - choosing colours, pigments, powders and where to pour. I can’t wait to do the part 2 and see the finished result.
Thanks Richard and team!
Filip Kanive - 4 June 2023
I was given beginners resin workshop as birthday gift. The course lasts around 2.5h and is packed with a lot of information while we were making our first own resin piece . Richard is very knowledgeable and answered all our curious questions.
Overall a great experience!
Namitha - 19 May 2023
I really enjoyed this class. Richard, our instructor, clearly knows his subject well and the quality and variety of pressed flowers provided was lovely - both store bought and those pressed by a previous batch.
We also got to press our own fresh flowers, that will be used by a future batch, which I thought was a nice touch.
It would be great to include a breakdown of the steps and the time allocated for each step, as this was not always clear to me. Since we were a small group on the day, it helped as I was able to ask more questions directly.
Sarah - 19 May 2023
Richard is a super patient and thorough teacher! It was such a fun session, learning a new skill and meeting new like-minded people. Definitely recommend to anyone!

I thoroughly enjoyed the session and the different aspects involved. The instructions from Richard were clear and well explained. I've never pressed flowers before so was interesting to learn about this too.
Joy Godden - 14 May 2023
This was a great class. Plenty of useful information and tips and the chance to be vey creative!
Bajwamaheen - 14 May 2023
Richard was amazing! He explained everything so clearly and injected a lot of fun into the workshop. I learned a lot and had a great time, and definitely want to try some of his other workshops!
Reem Al Gazairy - 14 May 2023
Thank you so much for this lovely class.
In my opinion I would like to do the full process (from a-z ) with you to get the full confidant .👏🏻
kit - 10 May 2023
reat experience from start to finish. Booking was simple, venue was great with easy parking onsite. Richard was an amazing teacher, very knowledgeable and engaging. We covered all the basics and also learnt lots of hints and tips for making the perfect epoxy piece (measuring, steaming, the 4 (maybe 5) golden rules !). I would definitely recommend Richard and The River Shop and will certainly be going back for more lessons. Thanks Richard.
Jez - 8 May 2023
I found the course extremely valuable. The instruction was well tailored for the beginner, clear and precise with lots of questions back to the students and a recap at the end of each section.
Going over previous sections was no issue with enough time allowed to complete this.
The end result was both exciting and satisfying. My thanks goes to Richard for his excellent enjoyable class.
Best Jez Frank.
Ps please keep hold of my piece of work as I will return in June for the Finishing course (part 2).
Marta - 8 May 2023
A big THANK YOU to Richard for a great introduction to the epoxy resin craft world. My friend and I have absolutely loved the beginners class on epoxy resin, and hope to attend many more in the near future.

Monika - 8 May 2023
This was a great way to spend the day, a great mix and bunch of people attend these classes. The venue was fab and well equipped with all the necessary tools and materials. Richard the teacher was fun, friendly, patient and engaging .
I had a brilliant and memorable day , attempting some basics in using resin ,I would not hesitate to attend any of the other workshops . I'll definitely be back.
Casey - 7 May 2023
This was my first experience working with epoxy resin and I had a really great time! When we arrived, the workshop was clean and had our materials already prepared in an individual tub so we didn't waste any time looking around for supplies. I thought it was especially helpful that we were asked to think about why we were doing certain steps rather than just being told. It helped to really understand the process. I could easily see myself at home deciding to skip certain steps because I didn't have a certain tool and didn't understand what that step was accomplishing. If I had more space at home for the supplies, I would feel competent working on small epoxy projects on my own after this course.
Peri - 7 May 2023
Really enjoyed the Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop with Richard! I had so much fun creating my board and Richard was an excellent teacher! He was full of knowledge, attentive and engaging. Would definitely recommend and would love to take another class at the River Shop!
Alfred - 7 May 2023
I attended Epoxy Resin class and Richard is really a teacher that gets you right into the course from start to finish.
All questions you have planned to ask his teaching methods answers all.
By the end of the course you feel you can make products as a pro.
Richard listens to every concern you have as a student and assist which ever way he can.
Course atmosphere is so friendly and training cost is value for money.
Thank you .
Joy - 7 May 2023
I really enjoyed the workshop - plenty of information and tips as well as the chance to be individually creative.
Bridgette Woods - 9 April 2023
Great course for those new to epoxy resin! Richard is knowledgeable and can pitch this course to any level. Really looking forward to part 2!
David - 3 April 2023
Was great fun, looking forward to pouring more in the future..
Gail Murrell - 3 April 2023
Richard is a great tutor. Explains everything in a clear and concise manner, easy to understand way. I enjoyed this ‘Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop’ and look forward to attending ‘Part 2 - Resin Finishing’ workshop.
Rob - 1 April 2023
Great activity to try and was a very informative and friendly class. Would very happily do another course here and would recommend anyone who is interested does so.

I attended the beginners Epoxy Resin workshop today, what a fantastic experience. The teacher was great, very patient and thorough. He made sure that everyone was clear on what to do and asked US questions ~ so make sure you are listening!! He went above and beyond and I felt very confident following the very clear instructions. I would strongly recommend ~ ticks all the boxes, great venue, free parking, great working space and superb tuition. Thank you xx
Josh Bryson - 28 March 2023
Another excellent class! Richard provides a solid, concise introduction to not only flower pressing, but also provides tips for confidently working with epoxy resin to produce great results!
Natasha - 27 March 2023
Spent a lovely morning at the epoxy resin flower masterclass - from picking and pressing the flowers to arranging our designs and pouring the resin, each of the steps was well-explained and easy to follow. The workshop was well-equipped and Richard was friendly and knowledgeable.
Kate Tonizzo - 27 March 2023
I had made some resin pieces before, but never worked with dried flowers. I didn't realise we'd also get to press the flowers (something I'd never tried before). Lots of different dried flowers available to create some lovely coasters - looking forward to receiving the finished pieces soon!
Alessandra Maggiora - 26 March 2023
It was my second resin class at the river shop, and again a wonderful experience! Richard is a super teacher, knowledgeable and professional, but also friendly and fun. You’ll learn everything you need to create your pressed flowers resin coasters, from how to press them and then arrange them in the moulds and pour resin over. Highly recommended!
Diane Jones - 26 March 2023
This is my 3rd class with Richard @the_rivershop- can’t recommend highly enough.
Ed Bateman - 26 March 2023
It was a very enjoyable morning. We chose and cut some flowers to be pressed for the next group and then we got about choosing the flowers for our two coasters. I went for a simple design for each, although I saw quite a few others which were more ornate and they looked amazing. I invited my partner along too, and she had never done it before and really enjoyed it too.
Tracy - 22 March 2023
My husband and I went on this first and second Epoxy resin course and learnt all about using epoxy resin. We created some rather gorgeous resin and wood coasters and really enjoyed ourselves. Richard is a a very good teacher - he has an engaging and very clear style and the class size is just right - there was plenty of room to work in his very organised and well equipped workshop. It was an absorbing practical workshop with lots of opportunity to ask questions. Felt we would be able to do it at home now if we wanted to.
Bozena - 21 March 2023
Great fun. I enjoyed the class very much, Richard who was running the show was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend his classes and hope to join a few more myself.

ibi - 6 March 2023
The course was very informative and practically useful
Richard the teacher was great, his communications was very clear and his passion made it the session engaging It was reassuring to be taught by someone who was obviously an expert. The room was a little too cold, although we were offered hoodies to wear
Joanna Smith - 5 March 2023
Great course, Richard was so keen to ensure we had a great understanding of the process, so that rather than having a one off experience, we were prepped to go on and make projects by ourselves - really good bunch of people and a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon - can’t wait to see my project when it is ready!
Pamela Cranston - 5 March 2023
I did the Beginner Epoxy Resin workshop and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Richard was very good at explaining each step and why we were doing it. He also gave us lots of advice and guidance on things we would need to consider if taking on a project at home with our newly learned skills. He was also very good at making us all feel welcome and was interested in what had brought us to the course and brought this into his subsequent teachings throughout the class.
The workshop was inspirational - both in terms of pieces he has made or has in progress and in terms of the quality of tools and their orderly storage.
I definitely recommend this course to anyone that wants to try out an epoxy resin project.
Dean Geering - 5 March 2023
The course was excellent and very informative.
Tyla Jones - 5 March 2023
I really enjoyed the class, the session was well organised with all of the equipment layer out for us and richard was a great teacher, explaining everything in detail and answering all questions. I’m looking forward to the next class.
Jacob Sames - 13 February 2023
Very good beginners guide to epoxy resin. Only improvement I can think of is when fielding a question to the class e.g. "can anyone tell me.." maybe don't leave it for so long before it's awkward that no one knows the answer.
Other than that, great day out.
Mattias - 10 February 2023
I really enjoyed this course at the River Shop and I can't wait to do the second part.
In my opinion, the course is very well structured with a lot of information provided. It's not just a 'follow along' course but there is some useful and interesting theory regarding the uses of resin, environment, workflow etc. There should be some notes coming from the River Shop regarding the whole class but I did bring a notepad to write as much as possible on it and that will help a lot for my future projects. I would suggest people do the same and take notes, as it's still a class and you will need them.
Roman - 9 February 2023
I had a lovely experience at this course. Can't wait for part 2 to finish my masterpiece. 🤩
Lily - 9 February 2023
Really good tips and tricks for resin beginners! Had a fun afternoon, would definitely recommend the course.
Stuart - 6 February 2023
This workshop was a very interesting way to spend an afternoon and the perfect first experience of crafting with resin. The materials and schedule were set up perfectly for students to make the best of the time, and Richard provided one-to-one assistance, useful tips and advice throughout. I'd highly recommend this course as the perfect first step for those interested in working on resin projects big or small.

Keeley Louise Hillman - 6 February 2023
Enjoyable afternoon, but the workshop was a little overcrowded and the tutor a bit dismissive, the atmosphere could have been much nicer.
Niamh Hickey - 6 February 2023
Richard was great and very knowledgable. A very enjoyable experience I bought my boyfriend for his birthday- we are booking on to part two! Thank you
Colin Burnell - 5 February 2023
Very Informative and Enjoyable Workshop. Thanks Richard.
Regards Colin
Craig Tollerton - 5 February 2023
Fantastic course. My partner and I did a class on the Saturday for part one and a private part 2 on Sunday. Richard accommodated us easily to help with our travel and we felt well looked after in both. Highly recommend going to this as just an experience or a stepping stone to bigger projects.
John Wheeler - 5 February 2023
Good location, easy to find.
Extremely informative session and Richard was an excellent instructor.
Kim - 5 February 2023
Great workshop with Richard. Clear instructions throughout so very easy to follow. Also loads of tips for recreating at home. We’ll be back for part 2!
John - 4 February 2023
I drove from Cambridge and found the location easily.
The course was very informative and Richard was an excellent instructor.
Looking forward to starting my own project.
Jenny - 4 February 2023
Amazing class, so much fun. It was easy to follow and perfect for beginners
Suzy - 25 January 2023
I really enjoyed the resin beginners course, there was so much info to take in though that it would be nice to have a handout with some of the main points as it is difficult to take notes and keep up with everything while there.
Fernanda - 21 January 2023
it was a Christmas gift from my son, I loved!!! I will continue for the second class.
I recommend, the teacher is very friendly with amazing skills.

Neil - 20 January 2023
Very informative course well worth going to, good fun and relaxed atmosphere. My only suggestion for improvement would be if you could hand out a take home print out of some of the main tips you give in class as there’s no time for note taking. I’d 100% recommend going!
Graeme Dimmock - 15 January 2023
The course was extremely good, our teacher was excellent, he showed us everything we needed to know for private crafts and I feel very confident to grow my skills and practice. Some of the provided materials weren't appealing, I was lucky a participant was absent and I swapped their wooden river materials for mine. Then whilst there were provided colour examples, there was no way to determine what material would create what colour. It should be said, if I was more confident I'd be more satisfied."
Jasmine Lam - 14 January 2023
Richard was engaging and the class was enjoyable with attendees at different levels of competency. Only wished we had the option to work on more projects on the same day - seems like that offering is in the pipeline!
Philip Southwood - 12 January 2023
The workshop is very fun and engaging, and
I would recommend it to anyone that is interested in learning to use epoxy resin with wood.
Hannah Jayawardene - 12 January 2023
I went for the beginners Epoxy resin class. It was such great fun as well as being really informative. The studio itself is a lovely space and Richard is a fantastic teacher.
After trying to use resin myself at home and not getting good results, I found this workshop so valuable in learning all the technical information and practical tips I had been missing. I've gone away with way more confidence and motivation to give resin another go. Thank you!
Julie Smith - 8 January 2023
A good introduction to what I hope will be an ongoing hobby for me. Having watched resin pieces being created on YouTube I was keen to get involved and this course covered the basics and gave an insight into materials and techniques.
Neil Handcock - 8 January 2023
Very enjoyable and informative course from Richard. Came away with lots of practical knowledge and tips on how to get started using epoxy resin. Just wish there would have been some printed information to take home, as there's a lot to take in and little time to write it down.
Leanne Sames - 8 January 2023
Very good course in starting epoxy. A lot of information will be thrown your way.
If you do the morning course grab something to eat before you start so you can concentrate.
Cristian - 8 January 2023
Really nice course lots of information and hands on approach.
Richard was really nice and answerd all of our questions however far fetched they might have been.
Thank you.

Elaine - 6 December 2022
The beginners’ epoxy resin class was brilliant. Richard gave helpful, expert guidance and also tips for using these skills in future too. It was also really well paced, with lots of time, rather than feeling rushed. I would definitely recommend it!
Kerstin Seeger-Jonckheer - 5 December 2022
I very much enjoyed the course. It was insightful and fun. Would recommend :)
michele collins - 4 December 2022

It was an excellent introductory workshop that covered the theory of working with resin well and provided a simple wood and resin project to work through. The course leader covered the course well and was always available to give assistance and information. Overall an excellent course.
Irina - 6 November 2022
Thank you Richard! The class was smashing! Clear instructions, meticulous attention to detail, angelic patience, all questions answered. I was feeling a bit intimidated to be in a totally new working environment, but very quickly felt at home . Learned an awful lot and got inspired with my own projects. Can’t wait for the second part. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I had a great time this morning at the Epoxy Resin workshop. The atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed, and I have gained some really good knowledge to practice this more on my own. Looking forward to coming back for further activities. Thank you!
Alison - 4 November 2022
My daughter bought me Epoxy Resin Workshop experience as a birthday present and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Richard explained the process so that we all had a clear understanding of what was required to make up and pour the resin in order to achieve an unblemished result. I came away from the course really pleased with my set of 4 coasters which featured a marine theme.
Alain - 4 November 2022
Went as a birthday treat, I did not know what to expect....what a surprise and excellent experience. the course is well run, very thorough and easy to understand. the group was fairly small (7)
and we were allowed a lot of interaction. I would call the course very relax and very friendly. I would recommend this to everyone from teens to old folks, like me .
Alanna - 24 October 2022
This was a fantastic introductory workshop and would highly recommend to anyone either just wanting to try something completely new or to gain knowledge of epoxy resin and how to use it for further projects. Richard was very knowledgeable and unlike some other workshops I have done with other compaines, we all learnt the basics around eposxy resin before doing any practical work. It was great fun and I am looking forward to seeing the results and using my new coasters!
Lisa - 9 October 2022
Another great class from Richard.
I enjoyed learning about the optimal conditions for working with epoxy resin and techniques for creating moulds. I already looking forward to the next class!
Darren Graham - 9 October 2022
Great to learn a new skill combining modern material with old.
Fantastic way of using up of cuts to convert into something useful.
Richard was a great teacher.
Daniel - 9 October 2022
The class was amazing. Very well explained by Richard, especially the little details about the procedures about the wood and resin which were shared via demonstration (very helpful). I totally recommend this course for someone interesting to work with resin. Thank you Richard!
Pawel - 6 October 2022
The teacher was very informative and very helpful. I’ve learnt a basic skills of working with epoxy resin and can’t wait for part2. The venue was very well organised and I’m glad I took part in it.
Catherine - 5 October 2022
Loved the session, it was super interactive and easy to follow and lots of creative expression with colours and personalisation :D
Elena - 4 October 2022
I enjoy the class and Richard was informative and friendly teacher. 4 stars because we were a bit far from the window and the point where everything was being explained and it was a little dark in our corner of the room, which made working more difficult.
Dimitar - 4 October 2022
Richard explained the key points to resin pouring and mould making. Only issue I had was the duration of the class, where we spent too much time in between just waiting around.
Heather - 4 October 2022
I attended the Beginners Epoxy Resin Workshop on Saturday- it was a thoroughly enjoyable day with Richard providing wealth of information. I would recommend it to anyone interested in creating their own epoxy pieces-but beware , you may well catch the bug and want to learn more and more!
Ewa - 4 October 2022
What a great class! All instructions given were clear and very helpful. The teacher was mindful of different pace of the students and was making sure that everyone is following up the group. It gave me good, basic knowledge about epoxy resin and how to work with it. I was able to purchase a starter kit to practice more at home. Definitely going for part2.
Imogen Block - 3 October 2022
I really enjoyed the course. Richard gave a very clear and comprehensive overview of everything you need to consider when working with the resin. I’d love to come back for another course and explore working with resin in this very supportive environment. Thank you!

An excellent introduction to working with epoxy resin. A great workspace, ample opportunity to ask questions, Richard is a professional and friendly tutor with expert subject knowledge. A very inspirational course
Daniel Weston - 11 September 2022
Good fun - gave me the confidence to try it myself!
Grant - 8 September 2022
Richard ran a fantastic course running through the basics of an epoxy resin pour. Would definitely recommend the course for anyone who has seen numerous online videos as this goes into far more detail and will ultimately save you money by getting things right first time
The 2.5 hour course flew by and was fully interactive, getting all questioning and thinking more about the sciene behind the art
Can't wait to book onto another!
Cliff Bull - 4 September 2022
Very informative with a strong element of hands on learning.
Great fun offering the ability to try your hand at creating a workpiece in wood and resin.
Would recommend to others.
Cliff
Catherine Jones - 4 September 2022
This course was fun and I enjoyed learning a new skill. Richards explanations and instructions were very clear and detailed which will enable a beginner to start using resin for their own projects. I am really looking forward to seeing how my pour ends up when dry and after this curse I decided to book onto the part 2 course to learn how to finish resin and wood projects.
Josh - 4 September 2022
A concise and informative class, with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Richard was a great teacher, with a lot of patience and a lot of insight to offer!
Nina - 3 September 2022
After wanting to step into the world of resin for ages I decided to attend this course. Best decision ever. Everything I needed to know as a beginner was covered today. It was delivered in such a straight forward and explanatory way . Real hands on experience. Our teacher was really friendly and put you at ease, no question was left unanswered. The venue was great, easy to find and extremely well organised. I’ll definitely be attending more courses.
M - 25 July 2022

Emma Gibbins - 11 July 2022
I bought this class for my partner for a birthday gift as he was interested in learning more about resin. We both agreed it was a fantastic introduction to the skill, and it's something we would love to continue. Richard was a great teacher and was patient with everyone on the class, while providing input when needed. Would definitely recommend to others.
Catherine - 10 July 2022
This was a good course for a complete beginner as well as those with an interest. Some notes would be useful - so I'm looking forward to receiving a top tips sheet.
Sam - 9 July 2022
Great course, good fun and covers everything you could want to know.
Looking forward to a tips and tricks sheet following!
Scott O'Brien - 9 July 2022

Stuart - 12 June 2022
Friendly atmosphere, well-equipped workshop. Lots of useful information, tips and practical advice. A highly enjoyable afternoon. Looking forward to Part 2 next weekend!
Sarah - 10 June 2022
The workshop was good fun and informative, although quite pricey. Learning ranged from making the mould, to environment for handling resin, different types of resin, how to size the amount of resin needed, and making the block itself, etc. Some suggestions for future workshop: have a one-pager covering the key lessons so people can refer back rather than rely on memory. Would also be nice to be shown different pouring techniques for achieving different colour effects & transition.
Anton - 8 June 2022
Great fun learning the processes. Richard was a great teacher and we all produced products to cherish.

Tony Crabb - 5 June 2022
Fantastic introduction. Cant wait for part 2!
Julian Markson - 5 June 2022
Arrived knowing nothing about Epoxy Resin. Richard shared information with the group in a very patient and friendly way, and we all learnt so much. Starting with setting and creating a sealed frame, and inserting live edged timber, to mixing the epoxy resin to the correct formula, adding colour and pouring it into the frame to create the miniature (very miniature) live edged table. A fab way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Highly recommended.
Annette Seth - 5 June 2022
I had not worked with resin prior to this course and it was very insightful to the material and the possibilities of it. Richard was very informative and answered all the questions raised. The workshop is a great inspiring place in a good easy to access location.
Thomas - 5 June 2022
Learnt a lot about epoxy resin techniques, like preparing the mould and adding colour to the resin.
David - 5 June 2022
Fantastic course, great introduction to epoxy resin construction techniques including pouring. Call is delivered bye experienced technically competent tutor with great insight. I would thoroughly recommend this for any have a go resin enthusiasts.
Julie - 4 June 2022
A really informative session with lots of technical information.
The class was well prepared and I’m excited to receive my finished please in a week #FreePostage !
My only advice would be to maybe offer an informative session (with all the technical bits) and a separate session for crafters (who don’t need all the technical stuff!)
Marilena - 4 June 2022
Great day today for my first ever experience of mixing colours and pouring epoxy. Loved every minute of it!
Emma - 4 June 2022
Excellent class! I’ve been wanting to learn this technique for ages, and it’s something I want to be able to teach my A Level Product Design students, so this was a great way to learn without the worry of having to trial and error. I really enjoyed the lesson, and the level of instruction was pitched just right. Amazing facilities and really well prepped for smooth running of the class. I feel confident that this is now something I can do on my own and I’m really excited to try this out again in my own workshop!
Andrew - 16 May 2022
I had great fun and I am inspired to learn more and make something wonderful.
Rebecca - 15 May 2022

Federica Monsone - 9 May 2022
Very enjoyable afternoon. Good pace although it would have been good to have a larger group area so everyone could work together and see what everyone else was doing. But all in, a good way to get an intro into working with epoxy resin. Richard is a patient, knowledgeable, clear teacher and I enjoyed learning from him.
Wendy - 9 May 2022

Great workshop, very informative and perfect for those who wants to start playing with resin, either pouring or for crafts and upcycling. Richard is extremely knowledgeable and will tell you everything you need to know, great experienced teacher who helps and support while leaving you free to create. Relaxed and funny environment, I can’t wait to receive my river pour! Highly recommended, and I’m pretty sure I’ll be back for a second one… :)

A great course and a very knowledgeable teacher. Everything was explained well . This taught me a lot about resin usage and tips you wouldn’t know teaching yourself from a book. I would highly recommend anyone to join this class and learn about resin art

The class was very good, informative, relaxed and fun from the beginning. Even though I didn’t know much about Epoxy resin I left the class with so many helpful information. Richard was calm, patient and was explaining every detail very well. I’m looking forward to our next classes. Excellent.

resin work, now I know the importance of planning the right amount of resin involved, just to save money and time!

Really enjoyed my time there, and I learnt a lot of useful information.

What a fantastic experience. Richard was absolutely fantastic. He has loads of knowledge that he is more than happy to share. He also does not spoon feed you all the information but actually makes you think and interact. I find that helps me retain more information and also enjoy the classes loads more. You will not be disappointed.
The environment was clean and very well setup and safety is always at the forefront of everything we did.
Learning new skills is always great but when you have a sublime instructor, it makes the whole experience just that little more emersive. Plus i get a cool looking project at the end of the session. Now on to part 2.

Really enjoyable afternoon learnt lots of practical information and guidance
Andy - 7 April 2022
I really liked the set up of the workshop and was very interested in the tools. It was really interesting to see a workshop dedicated to timber and epoxy. The teacher was excellent and was happy to answer all my questions and he explained things really well. It was useful to be able to park on site. I like forward to attending the part 2 follow-up workshop.

The beginners epoxy resin course was great fun and very informative. I recommend bringing a notepad to jot down useful info Richard provides, and watching some epoxy resin vids beforehand so you have some idea of what colours and effect you want to achieve. Highly recommended.

A very informative course and the teacher is friendly and very supportive. Anyone looking to learn how to use epoxy resin should definitely considering this course.
Farrol - 3 April 2022
This was an excellent intro class to Epoxy Resin working . Richard is very thorough and knowledgeable on the technical and creative side of Epoxy Resing making . I would prefer the class to be an extra 1/2 hour, so 3 hours as there is so much to take in.
Highly recommend it for beginners!
