As someone totally unfamiliar with carving or sculpting in any medium I needed more 1-on-1 explanations of many of the wax shaping tools and methods to execute my idea and Scott was very accommodating of this. I went a few times during studio hours for extra assistance and happily accepted his help in adding the sprues to my pieces for me so I could catch up and move onto the next step and he did an amazing job. My first time getting to cast was so fun! Scott's safety tips and guidance made me feel at ease. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone wanting to make their own pendants/rings/miniatures/etc out of metal.

Teacher is scattered, disorganized and a terrible communicator.

This casting class was great for my first experience of working with silver...I made an amazing piece that Scott carefully and thoughtfully guided me through. The class was full, but Scott is a professional metal smith and adeptly handled the students, the tools and materials for the final casting.

Three stars because I was able to, for the most part, achieve the goal I had for the course. Nothing against Scott as a person, but as a teacher he needs to figure out a better time management method. Every lesson was very rushed, casting day was very hectic which felt borderline unsafe. I don’t really feel I got my money’s worth considering how rushed and frantic everything was rather than a studio course with time to experiment and ask questions and learn the process.

Scott is very down to earth with a great sense of humor. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Though the class moves quickly, Scott provides one-to-one support and guidance. I thoroughly enjoyed the class, learning to use different equipments and honing my creativity. Well worth the price and I will definitely take this class again.

This class definitely taught me a lot and was full of good vibes and positivity. Scott has a way of making you comfortable and relaxed even after those incredibly tedius, drawn out days that we all have every so often. His teaching style is more like having a conversation with an old friend than typical A+B*X=C teaching that a lot of classes centre around. You will get all this information, though it feels more real rather than mechanical. I'm glad I took this class and am just as happy to have met and have Scott as a teacher.

I had a great time on this class. Scott is an awesome and very fun entertaining teacher, and tries to help each of the attendants to have a personalized experience despite being a very introductory class. The theory and the practice is very well balanced and we were able to go home with a couple of nice pieces, plus very hungry for more. I'll for sure be taking the advanced class as a next step. I found that carving wax for a few hours and hanging out in the class was an amazing way to get in a zen state after work as well as to earn an awesome new skill.
