The only thing you really need to know before you come is to wear appropriate clothing...

• Clothing which fully covers arms and legs and not too loose fitting

• If you are welding, be aware that uncovered skin is subject to Ultra Violet and will react in the same way as sunburn, so come with long sleeves or even sun cream

• Non synthetic or flammable clothing

• Sturdy footwear - ideally something like leather walking boots

• This course can be heavy on the hands and may cause blisters so bring gloves you can work in

• Don't be surprised to use a plaster or two during the day!

You will be provided with the following safety clothing, but welcome to bring your own:

• a leather apron

• safety glasses

• ear defenders

• leather heat resistant gloves (but you may want to bring your work gloves)

• dust mask (for knife makers) when you are grinding and sanding. We do have some here too but bring one if you have one!
