Halton Village Silver reviews

Jo reviewed: Sea Glass Drilled Jewellery Workshop

"I really enjoyed this course. I'm not the most 'crafty' person, so wasn't sure what to expect. With Clare's tuition and ample time to practice, I made a beautiful sea glass pendant. "

Halton Village Silver responded:

"You certainly did make a beautiful pendant, well done you - I think we can safely say that you are a crafty person now! Thank you for the lovely review, much appreciated and I hope we see you again. "

Tegan reviewed: Silver Clay - Beginners Jewellery Workshop

"I had a fantastic day working with silver clay thanks to Clare! She taught me all the relevant information and guided me on what would and wouldn’t work when planning my piece. Clare communicated from the start to make sure I was prepared for what to expect, knew where to go and made sure it was nice and toasty inside despite the awful weather outside! Such a pleasant experience and I am looking forward to returning (and bringing friends) to enjoy your workshops. "

Halton Village Silver responded:

"Thank you for such a lovely review. I'm glad you had a good day, I thoroughly enjoyed having you int he workshop too and I hope you are very proud of what you achieved today - your final pieces were very lovely. I know that one of them is intended to be a gift, and I know that the intended recipient is going to love it, and really appreciate the work and effort you have put in to it - both the piece and the story and work behind it is delightful! I look forward to seeing you again, and meeting your friends! You are most welcome. "

"Found it very expensive for what we did, We could have accomplished our goal in half the time. No real input from tutor, not show what to do, just verbally instructed. "

Halton Village Silver responded:

"It's a shame that you feel that way, especially as all of your party did so well at it, and went away having learnt how to drill the glass and having made a sea glass pendant, as well as having all the information you need to continue doing it for yourselves including where and what equipment to purchase. Your party started the workshop feeling unsure and a little nervous about drilling, but finished it demonstrating great confidence and skill in it. I'm sorry you felt it wasn't good value for money, you were provided with all materials required including a silver necklace chain and pinch bail, practice and jewellery quality sea glass and a 2 hour workshop. Your feedback is somewhat suprising as your group left the session saying how much you had enjoyed it and that you planned to return for another workshop. You would be very welcome to visit again. "

"Had a fabulous day with Claire yesterday on the beginners silver clay course.... Lots of fun and Claire is super knowledgeable....I walked away very happy with the piece I made and confident I could do this technique at home. Claire also has a lovely display of jewellery for sale that she has made herself. I treated myself to a very lovely silver and seaglass pendant......I'll definitely be back to learn more things. Highly recommend 😊"

Yvonne reviewed: Sea Glass Drilled Jewellery Workshop

"I booked the sea glass jewellery workshop on a whim- something nice for me and my daughter to do together. We had a wonderful time. Clare was great at explaining everything and made us feel very welcome. Couldn't believe how fast the two hours went. It was long enough for us to be able to make our own necklace and to give us the confidence to continue experimenting at home. I'm so excited to have a new interest and look forward to continue learning more. "

Halton Village Silver responded:

"Thank you for the review. You both did so well with the drilling, and your final pieces were just lovely. Hope you continue to enjoy sea glass hunting. "

"I really enjoyed this course and never done anything like this before. Clare was really friendly, knowledgeable and skilled. I was fortunate to have a one on one with her. I learned so much about jewellery making generally while making my own beautiful chunky silver ring ‘for me by me’. Love it. I’ll be signing up for another with Clare soon. "

Halton Village Silver responded:

"Thank you for the lovely words, it was an absolute pleasure to have you in the studio. Happy birthday BTW! "
