5 Star Google review
“Having been on numerous career courses, I have often been dissappointed by either ‘lack of instructor time’ or ‘poor instruction and content’. However during the 3 day vocational course run by Martin my experience was the polar opposite. Martin’s relaxed & flexible approach encouraged participation & questions. Knowing that getting things wrong is part of the learning process allowed me focus on getting things right, not worrying about getting things wrong. Whilst delivery & content were excellent, it is Martin’s experience and willingness to pass on his hard learnt lessons within the framing business which truely sets him apart from other instructors. Since finishing the course I have managed to navigate the difficult process of setting up my own framing business and feel that I owe this to Martin’s philosophy - he is not instructing potential competitors but rather work colleagues.

Martin went through all the stages of how to prepare surfaces (of picture frames) before gold leaf can be applied. He was generous with his information and discussed areas of his expertise to give me a better insight into some aspects of picture framing and conservation generally. . It was a very instructive day and I hope in the future to access another courses on offer at INSITJU. Margaret, Warwickshire 2016 |
'Martin, thank you so much for the frames. I'm glad we decided on the gold in the end and thank you once again for changing them to my taste. Service above and beyond. They look great. Thanks.
