Student Testimonials & Reviews: Real Jewellery Making Transformations

"It was just so much fun combining making and learning the most beautiful jewellery, having great talks and laughs together and have great meals. The whole idea of immersing into the craft for a whole week is just so amazing!"

"The whole experience was wonderful. Jess was very clear in her teaching and was happy to demonstrate or explain multiple times if needed. She let us take risks, try things out and experiment and learn at our own pace. Jess was very generous with her time, her equipment, her spirit and importantly her coffee. I was certain I would enjoy the creative element of the course but did not expect to leave feeling like I had made a whole group of new friends. Thank you so much".
