I enjoyed the design element of the course but, we were not informed of the gauge of metal the tutor was using, nor the gauge of the wires p, which is a fundamental necessity! We should have been informed before purchasing that the enamel was not glass enamel. Overall I was disappointed.

This is the first course I have taken and it was perfect! So easy to follow with all tools and materials very clear to go back to for resource. Love the insight into teacher too, and a background of their inspiration. Can't wait to do this project, and take many more classes!
