Really enjoyed the Silversmithing workshop - Sophie is very friendly and patient at every step! I also went to a textured painting class before and that was lots of fun too.

My sister and I recently did the Silversmithing taster workshop with Dani, we cannot rave about the class enough!! Dani is the perfect instructor for a class like this, she is patient, knowledgeable and personable - makes you feel like you are making jewellery with a talented friend. She would demonstrate how to do each stage of the process and then allow us to try it ourselves. Always available for any questions we had and offered opinions or advice when we asked for it. Highly recommend doing this class!
