Are all the courses at the same location?

Yes, all courses take place at the Forge in Farley Hill.

What are the start and finsh times?

We start at 9.30AM, but feel free to arrive a little earlier as we have Tea and Coffee available. We aim to finish at 4 but sometimes classes overrun (not usually by more than half an hour).

Do I need special Clothing or safety Equipment?

We supply all the essentials: Safety specs, gloves, aprons etc. We do ask that you wear sturdy footwear and older clothing. Preferably not shorts or skirts. Do not wear flammable clothing such as polyester! The safest clothing is made from 100% cotton. We also ask that if you have long hair please tie it back.

Is there parking nearby?

Yes, we are located on a farm and can always find somewhere for you to park.

How large are the classes?

All the classes are based on a 2:1 or occasionally 3:1 Instructor to student ratio to ensure that you get the maximum attention without being intimidated. The smallest classes are two learners and the largest nine, but we tend to aim for classes of six students with three tutors.

Can I come along with my partner who is doing the class and stay to watch?

You can, but with a few restrictions, you will not be allowed in the work area or to stay for a long time, but are welcome to stay for a bit and drink tea and coffee (we may even ask you to make the class a cuppa for the morning break!)
