What our alumni say

  • I would do this same course over and over again.

    Classmates were great. Most importantly, Phil & Brent incredibly kind, patient and easy going. Nothing was ever a problem. If you think to do this course, don’t hesitate. Two days of relaxed creative fun. You also walk away with a vanity benchtop and a table top.

    Kendel Inverarity

  • The course was excellent.

    Very informative and hands on makes it easy to learn the skills.

    Jack Horton

  • It was absolutely brilliant from beginning to end!

    I just took part in a recent concrete casting workshop with Phil and Brett. Phil is so generous with his knowledge, friendly and accommodating. We made a stunning vanity sink and table top. Well worth the course fee and I could not recommend this experience more highly 10/10

    Monique Tippett

  • Incredible amount of skills and knowledge...

    ...shared in a practical and digestible way in such a short timeframe. Great people, great lunch, great value

    Andrew Britton

  • Phil and the Team at Concrete Studio delivered an excellent, hands on 2-day course.

    Good insight into GFRC and how it could be used and being able to make a vanity top and bench top was very satisfying. Appreciated Phil's openness with sharing his knowledge. 10/10 for the lunches provided, thanks thanks to ilka.
