Bronze Casting

Jean_Marc from France

Have you enjoyed the course, has it met with your expectations?

Expectations fully met, I learned alot, had fun and left with two finished pieces of bronze work and also made a silicon rubber mould, an extra!

At any point on the course were you anxious, unsure or afraid?

Not at all, though slightly unsure about the tools and processes as they were new to me, but not for long as John was always there to guide and answer questions and help with using tools.

Was the information delivered in such a way as you could understand it easily?

Yes, congratulations John on your attempts at French! Entertaining!

What did you most like about this course?

Hands on with all tools at all steps including the bronze pouring. John's flexibility and readiness to adjust and help with our needs, instead of simply following a standard programme.

What did you least like about this course?

Nothing to report.

Is there anything we could improve upon?

A shelf space for each of the students to put their things on, such as gloves, goggles, overalls, etc

Would you recommend this course to other people?

Yes
