I highly recommend this workshop and, if you can, I recommend doing it on the same day as the Basic Welding workshop. It was good to consolidate what I’d learnt in the morning course. I went home with a sculpture I am very happy with. A lovely addition to my garden!
Store owner replied:
We love your thinking, Annette. It's definitely a great way to consolidate your skills ✨ We're so pleased you enjoyed both workshops - and we hope you keep on creating!
Cheers! Ian and Jane
My husband Warren was very inspired by the workshop and plans to continue with his new hobby :)
Store owner replied:
Thanks heaps, Kelly! It's great to hear Warren enjoyed his welding workshops and is inspired to continue! Cheers! Ian and Jane
I did the beginners welding class in the morning and also enjoyed the afternoon at the sculpting with scrap class. What a great day.
We used our new welding skills and Ian's knowledge to find our sculpture and put it together. So much fun. So many options. Loved using the plasma cutter.
Thank you Ian for your patience and being a great teacher. Thanks for sharing.
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for your kind words, Fran! Ian really enjoyed helping you create your turtle pieces - and your tales about Christmas Island were an added bonus! Thanks for coming! Ian and Jane
I bought both the beginners welding and welding art courses for my husband’s birthday hoping to get his creative juices flowing. He came home very enthusiastic to continue his new hobby and very proud of his windmill. I’m thrilled that he had such a good time and can’t wait to see what he creates next. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful experience for him!
Store owner replied:
Awww that's fantastic, Kelly! Warren did so well, and his final sculpture in the Sculpting with Scrap workshop is so cool! Cheers! Ian and Jane
Fantastic oppurtunity to build confidence in working with scrap metal to create masterpieces. Ians approach to delivering the know-how to help with creating works over the course is easily consumed. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking additional support in their welding journey!
