A fantastic, fun, educational, creative and rewarding day for our little family. Thanks Jonathan - for our 10 year old boy and both parents to come away with unique treasures that we designed and executed from scratch, is a testament to your skill as a teacher!
What a fantastic "Mother & Daughter's" day!
Jonathan was so patient and helpful, and the piece of jewellery surpassed my expectations, and the cake was delish!
Thank you.

I have had a great day at Salt Way Silver. Jonathan was a fantastic instructor and answered all of my questions. I enjoyed the cake and was very pleased with the bangle I have made. Thank you very much!

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.Jonathan
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!
Response from Salt Way Silver:

We all had a very lovely day. It was very enjoyable to learn some new jewellery skills. As four beginners we were expertly guided in a safe and fun environment. The pieces we created are stunning and the level of detail we were able to achieve was amazing.
Would absolutely recommend!

Amazing day! This was a birthday gift and I've always wanted to have a go at making jewellery.
We learned different skills making a keyring first then after lunch, made a piece of silver jewellery. I chose a ring with a textured surface and I am so happy with how it turned out!
Jonathan is a great teacher and it was a lovely relaxed atmosphere, would love to do it again! (the cake was delicious too!)

Thank you Gillian - it was lovely to meet you both, and to help you with your silver jewellery designs.Jonathan
We have had a brilliant day. There is something so rewarding in being able to finish and look down at the ring on your finger and say "I made that". Have learned new skills, got a new ring, but most of all it was just fun.
