Hilary Schmidt-Hansen reviewed: Metal embossing foil DIY wreath kit

"We purchased 3 metal embossing foil DIY wreath kits just before Christmas as presents (one for ourselves) but have not yet tried the kit out. However, Helen Jones, who we purchased the kit from could not have been more helpful in getting the kits to us and keeping us up to date with the delivery. We are really looking forward to creating our masterpiece and would certainly recommend this as a gift (or for yourself)"

Kathy Rowden reviewed: Jewellery making with Precious Metal Silver Clay - Full Day Workshop

"Charlotte is an excellent tutor and I thoroughly enjoyed this day course. I had a one to one session and learned so much about this fascinating jewellery making process. Charlotte explains every stage clearly and is keen that participants achieve a high standard of finish. The resources, ideas for inspiration and tools were all accessible for a complete beginner as well as being challenging enough for anyone who has some previous experience. If if we’re in this area again, I’d definitely book another session to make something else."

Felix & Reuben Jewellery School responded:

"Hi Kathy, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the workshop! The pieces of jewellery you made were beautiful. Well done. Regards Charlotte "

Shahreena reviewed: Hand Engraving for Jewellers

"John's engraving course was extremely helpful for my engraving journey as a jeweller. Most engraving courses don't teach you the fundamentals, so oftentimes you're left to figure things out by yourself. All the skills taught by John during this course will allow me to make my own tools, custom to my own hand, as well as to start selling engraved products after some practice with the cuts and techniques he taught me. I highly recommend learning from John, especially if you want to streamline the skills you learn, towards jewellery making. Once I am able to, I would definitely return to learn more intermediate and advanced skills from John. "

John Cook Engraving responded:

"Thank you . Shahreena. "

Tracy Williams reviewed: Lampworking Workshop: Full Day Beginners Workshop

Jonathan Howell reviewed: Arrow smithing (full day)

"On Thursday 18th December, I spent a thoroughly enjoyable day under the expert tuition of Adam Jenkins creating mediaeval arrow-heads. For me it was an historical way 'in' to my first - and I hope not last - experience of 'blacksmithing'. Adam led me step-by-confident-step through the process, while we talked about the history of blacksmithing and the use of bows and swords in the past and their portrayal in films, theatre and television. I cannot recommend a day with Adam highly enough."

Now Strike Archery Ltd responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review Jonathan, it was a real pleasure to spend a day with you in the forge - your arrow heads were excellent too. Really glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience including all the geeky chat - hope to see you again soon Adam"

Kate & Meg reviewed: Learn the art of mosaics with Eirini

"My daughter and I had the best time with Eirini, learning the art of mosaics. It was so interesting and and our Christmas present mosaics were stunning. I hadn’t realised how tricky it was but Eirini was there to help us every step of the way! She is such a lovely lady, so friendly and so talented. Nothing was too much trouble! We will be back in the future. Thanks again and Merry Christmas xx "

Chris Berry reviewed: Beginner welding

"Really useful course. Richard explains in simple terms and shows you every aspect. From stick welding, MIG and SIP. Then he throws you into it, which isn't as easy as he makes it look. He explained what I did wrong and by the end I was welding (MIG) reasonable confidently. Thanks."
