On Saturday, April 13th, I attended the welding lesson with Dan. The information and communication throughout were excellent. I was impressed by the workshop at first glance; I felt welcomed, the workshop was well equipped, well organised and very tidy. Dan, the facilitator, was very friendly and made me feel at home. The TIG welding class was well-structured and highly informative; Dan generously shared a wealth of information. He explained each step in theory, and afterwards, I was given ample time to practice. His kindness and encouragement left me feeling enthusiastic, and I departed the class with a solid foundation in TIG welding.

Joe - 7 February 2024
Fantastic session for a beginner. With no experience to start with I really got into it and Dan is a great teacher. Definitely a good place to start if you're looking for a decent intro to TIG welding.
Veronika - 4 February 2024
Really enjoyed the class with Dan! The class is taught in a very small group (we were just 2) which allows lots of hands-on learning. Since we were both absolute beginners, Dan explained the basics of TIG welding very well and let us try out every step that was explained before moving on to the next creating a great learning experience. Towards the end we welded our own little project we could take home after the class. I'd recommend this to everyone who's looking for a fun and informative introduction to TIG welding
Michael Duffy - 18 January 2024
As a complete beginner, Dan was incredibly clear but relaxed. I found the course genuinely brilliant and completely unintimidating. Could recommend it highly enough if you want to have a go but feel nervous

I had been on the lookout for a welding introduction course for a while now and I am very happy with the experience. Dan put me at ease and taught me a lot in a short space of time.

Very cool and interesting introduction to welding. I had never done anything like it before and didn't really know what to expect. It was a brilliant experience. Dan is a kind, friendly, knowledgable and patient tutor. Highly recommend this workshop for anyone who would like to try a new craft as it's very accessible and very fun!

Dan was a really great teacher. Very patient and encouraging. I definitely recommend this cause. It was a really informative and fun morning!
Tamara Stanton - 11 December 2023
I really enjoyed the introduction to TIG welding and would 100% recommend it. I did not know anything about TIG welding before the course, and learnt so much from Daniel who was very patient, encouraging and good at explaining - a brilliant teacher! It was very satisfying to progress throughout the morning and I really felt like I had learnt so much in the short time. I am in awe of it as a skill and it was a treat to learn from an expert who clearly enjoys teaching others. Thank you Daniel!

I went on this course and it was brilliant. The positivity, advice and encouragement from Dan was great and really gave me the skills and knowledge to give Tig welding a go at home.
Tania - 15 April 2023
Absolutely loved learning TIG welding at Lions Den. In just one lesson I felt that I acquired the skills to give it a try on my own. And the idea of welding a dice at the end of the workshop is genius. It really looks stunning and makes you go home feeling very satisfied with your work! 💯 worth it!!!
