This was very interesting & enjoyable. All the attendees came away with intriguing artifacts & had a good trial with the techniques & skills involved. No one had done any welding & all got to grips with it. Also, a friendly, diverse bunch of people & Silvina was an excellent guide. Many thanks.

El taller para hacer anillos vale muchísimo la pena y es un buen momento para pasar tiempo con algún ser querido y hacer algo juntos. La profesora es encantadora, nos enseñó todo de maravilla. Aunque es más complicado de lo que parece, quedaron unos anillos chulísimos.

Silvina is a knowledgeable teacher with lots of patience. She can help you with specific techniques in jewelry making and guide you along as learn. It's a great experience to learn from her.

Me gustó mucho el Curso en general. Las explicaciones de la profesora tanto teóricas como prácticas muy bien explicadas. El asesoramiento y la ayuda en el proyecto También ha sido una parte que valoro muy positivamente y que me ayudó mucho. También me gustó mucho la paciencia de Silvina y su simpatía.

Resaltaría el espacio de impartición del taller y la maquinaria que disponíamos. Pero sobre todo la profesora. Silvina, explica claro y sencillo, cosa que ayuda mucho, pero sobretodo se nota que sabe mucho y lo más importante que sabe crear un espacio donde sentirte protegida, perder el miedo y sentirte agusto. El curso ha superado mis expectativas.

"I loved doing this course, I love learning new techniques and this was the perfect environment, the teacher was very patient and explained everything fully and I felt like I'd learnt a lot by the end of the course. You get total creative freedom over what you get to make at the end so everyone did their own different things and it was so fun seeing it all take shape and seeing what everyone made! "

"Amazing course, really showed me the ropes from a complete novice who'd never done anything like welding before in their life! We had a lovely and patient teacher who showed us all the different techniques and then let us all go off and explore this new medium in our own different ways so we all came up with completely different designs which was lovely. It was a lovely experience working alongside other artists "

What a fabulous 3 days. Within the hour of starting we were all melting metal. We rapidly explored cutting, bending, grinding, polishing and mig, and for those who wanted it, stick welds. Silvina is a smooth, confident and cheerful facilitator and she kept us safe and motivated with short team tasks on the first day and individual projects on the following 2 days. It was tiring , but it was the well earnt sort of tiring ! We all left with a 'something we made' that captured the mistakes then successes of our move from novice to welding with so much more confidence. Thank you to all involved.

This course was excellent. The tutor got us working safely straight away, and then increased our awareness of Health & Safety as the course went on, rather than starting off with ALL of the H&S things you have to think about when working with metal & machinery & electricity & molten mild steel! Why does that matter - well, because arc welding & angle grinders chucking out sparks & the like can look very intimidating, and this was a great way to build confidence to work safely first, rather than spending a couple of hours on all the H&S considerations, which were brought in as we went along. The tutor always expected more of us, so we would get more out of the course - "Do it again" - so we did. I had had 1 introductory go at welding before, & been a bit timid with it - not after this. Strongly recommend.

I attended the Drawing with steel workshop with Silvina Soria last weekend and would like to feedback that the workshop far exceeded my expectations. Silvina was extremely knowledgeable and very generous with sharing her knowledge, making sure the personal needs of each single participant was accurately met. I had no previous experience of MIG welding and I feel I was given in a short space of time enough guidance and practice to carry on building on newly acquired skills in my on time (in the near future) in open access studio sessions. I could not recommend highly enough this workshop led by the most professional, efficient and friendly teacher.

"Very productive and enjoyable two days. Silviana was brilliant, spending time with everyone. She also made helpful suggestions about our projects throughout the course whilst allowing us to develop our ideas. After the H&S briefing we got straight into our projects resulting in an intensive two days. Well worth it."
