Advanced Course/Level 3
We will be teaching an Advanced course (Level 3) course - which is a continuation of the Beginners and Intermediate courses.

This 6 week class is for those who do not wish to follow a structured course, but would like to have some time to work at a bench to work on your own designs or practice techniques. Please note - you can't book for just one night. You need to book for the entire 6 week bank. We also offer bench hire on an hourly basis if you prefer. https://www.metalandflame.co.uk/bench-hire.html

You are of course also welcome to join in with whatever technique the class is learning.
For the structured course, we will be teaching you different techniques; however, unlike our Level 1 Beginners course where you had set pieces to work on - this time each student will incorporate all the techniques learned in the previous two courses to work on your own designs se techniques plus new techniques learned during this course into their own designs. Everybody has different tastes and design ideas, so this is a time to use your design skills.
During our terms we also run demonstrations which are either relevant to student projects or to those who have requested a certain technique.
