Timings

Courses usually run 9am to 5pm each day with breaks for teas/coffees and lunch.

What to wear

All PPE will be provided for the classes, but if you have your own heat resistant gloves, ear defenders, etc, please feel free to bring them along.

We do ask that you arrive in suitable clothing, (jeans and a t shirt is perfect). Long sleeves will help protect your arms from sparks. Please do not arrive wearing synthetic material as this has a habit of melting! Please do not wear shorts/skirts, your legs must be covered.

Please wear suitable footwear. Boots are great, if they have steel toe caps even better. Your jeans/trousers must be able to go over the top of your boots to stop anything hot dropping inside your boots. You will be on your feet all day, so make sure they are comfortable to wear. Please do not wear open top shoes.

If you have long hair, it must be tied back out of the way. Hair burns very nicely!

We may refuse admittance if you are not wearing suitable clothing. This is for your safety.

What to Bring with you

It get’s very hot, so bring plenty of water with you to drink. You must keep hydrated.

We will have a First Aid Kit available, but you may want to bring some of your own plasters, etc as you can get blisters and small burns.

We don’t supply lunch, so bring a packed lunch with you, or there are shops close by to buy food.
