“I can't recommend this workshop enough, for whatever the occassion. Alison was endlessly attentive and skilled in her craft. There was no problem we couldn't fix with a little bit of tinkering and a sense of wonder. We learned the process of making a silver ring from start to finish, all materials and tools provided, over cups of tea or coffee to go round.
Later, Alison sent a set of notes outlining all the steps we completed should we ever wish to revisit jewelery making.”
“It's a fantastic class for anyone who wants a hands-on experience in ring-making.
Alison knows the ins and outs of jewellery making and knows how to transfer the knowledge to others. She was such a fantastic teacher and a warm and welcoming host to us!
It was a hands-on activity, where we were allowed to do EVERYTHING ourselves, and we left with beautiful sterling silver rings that we made ourselves.
The venue is a great and welcoming space, with all the tools and facilities available.
There's simply nothing I'd change about this experience - it was 3 full hours of learning by doing:) I can't recommend it any more!”
“If you want to buy someone a present to make something a bit different, have fun, use your brain and leave with a little trinket that you can proudly say "I made this!", then this is the class for you. There were only two of us and Alison, talked us through every stage and even had to help me with some of mine after a slight industrial injury!... We both loved it and look forward to booking again for more exciting jewellery making. We had no idea how much goes into just making a ring, I have a new found respect for jewellery makers.”
“Excellent beginners class, very relaxed but professional and enthusiastic teacher. Very knowledgeable and taught you what you wanted to know and more… Left with a spark and enthusiasm to continue in jewellery making….”
“Alison is warm, patient and knowledgeable. I had never done any form of jewelry making before but Alison took us through each step patiently. I loved this experience! And have a couple of lovely rings that I made as a result.”
“Great course to do if it’s your first time making a ring. She explains every tool and the reasons behind why on every step you do. Due to the size of class it’s a perfect easy going class.”
“Alison’s class was wonderful - I am thrilled to have left with my own handmade silver ring and learned so much thanks to Alison’s friendly, patient and encouraging teaching approach. Cannot recommend highly enough!”
