Had a great day and made several pieces of jewellery to show off my new skills!
Lovely day :)
Really enjoyed the day, Jonathan is very good at teaching and endlessly patient! We were making things as soon as we arrived and had a very welcome coffee and cake. I am very happy with the bracelets and pendant I made & very wearable!
A wonderful day, learning lots of new skills.
Best wishes.

Thank you for giving us such a wonderful fun day, making something beautiful but also lots of fun being creative and playing! Thank you for your patience & giving us sisters a memorable happy day with the rings, bracelets and necklaces to show for it.
Would love to learn more.
Best wishes.
If crafting is your thing, with or without any skill, then you will love learning to make jewellery with Jonathan. I attended this course with my big sister and best friend. My sister was enthusiastic but nervous when she saw the list of tools we’d be using and skills we would be taught. She needn’t have been. Jonathan is a calm and patient teacher and didn’t just make it look easy. He broke down each step so it was actually very easy to follow. We all made very different bangles but we were all absolutely delighted with our creations. There is something joyous about making something so when you can wear your creation too, there is nothing not to like.
A really enjoyable day learning the basics of copper and silver jewellery making. Lots of hands on practice, with Jonathan always on hand to guide and advise. Oh, and very nice cake too!
Great course, Jonathan was an excellent teacher/coach. Really enjoyed my child free, crafty day. Was bought as a gift for my 40th, now I have a special piece of jewellery too. :)
Fantastic course with a clearly experienced and knowledgeable instructor. Jonathan took great care to ensure that all of our needs - both on the course and our own comfort - were met. Attended with a friend and it was a great chance for us to have fun making something in each other's company.
Highly recommended!
Very enjoyable day! I was slightly apprehensive I'd be useless but Jonathan builds up skills in a logical way - and you soon feel creative and capable!
Great course, interesting. Jonathan is very helpful - especially at fixing our mistakes. Great to try in copper first. Thanks for a lovely child free day.
I had this voucher as a gift back in 2019, and have finally used it! The day went a lot quicker than I expected, I learnt a lot of new techniques and made a lovely silver bangle for my daughter's birthday. Jonathan was very informative, patient and calm. Would recommend this course!
An absolutely perfect Mother's Day present. The day was really nice with "warm up" makes and then the final make. Jonathan was excellent at explaining the steps and it was so lovely to come away with a "wearable" gem I had made. This reignited my enjoyment of metal work (last used in 1982 'O' level metalwork!).
Great cake too!

Thank you for your review Elise. I hope that you go on to further develop your jewellery making skills.What an amazing day my daughter and I have had at this brilliant workshop. We have had to wait due to Covid, but sooo good to be here!
Jonathan is a great tutor, he provides a supportive approach and helps us to achieve our ideas. Our first session showed us so many ideas and in the afternoon session I made the ring that I wanted.
I fully recommend this to all of you. Try it! You will enjoy!
Thank you Jonathan. Fantastic!
Thank you for such a wonderful day. We have thoroughly enjoyed it - great for beginners and the more crafty. Jonathan is very clear and precise with his instructions which makes for a really productive and inspiring day!
Really fun! Would definitely come again. Had a nice day.
Loved it! Expert instruction, great studio, relaxed atmosphere. Great cake!
Thank you.
Really fun activity day with the chance too make beautiful jewellery with well explained instructions. Also really good cake!
Thank you so much for such a fabulous day! Jonathan was very patient and helped my friend and I make beautiful silver bangles to our chosen design. We also made keyrings to develop our skills and were provided with lovely refreshments too. I highly recommend this course.
Really fun day. You start by making basic shapes and a chain link in copper to get familiar with using the tools. After a delicious slice of cake & a cuppa you move onto the fun with silver, a bit of alchemy too with the heating of your silver!
Jonathan was a great host & we came away with a pair of beautiful silver rings. Recommend.
Response from Salt Way Silver:

Lovely to meet you and your mum. It was good fun and your questions kept me on my toes. Good luck with all of your future adventures and well done with your silver jewellery making.Thanks to the pandemic, it was 18months from receiving the Silver Jewellery Making class as a birthday gift, and actually doing it! Throughout that time Jonathan was very communicative and I'm so glad that I eventually got to do it.
Jonathan paced the day well and gave us really clear instruction, and lots of individual attention. I was absolutely thrilled with the result and thoroughly enjoyed the day.
I highly recommend you do it - and you also get cake!
