Saturday silver ring making workshop - Ransom's Pavilion, Hitchin

Description

10th Feb *2 places available* 6th June *4 places available* * Small class size of 4 * In this workshop you will be taught the basics of working with silver clay and sterling silver with demonstrations and tips for successful ring making. You will be taught how to measure, cut, fire, solder, and finish a minimum of one ring. I am a qualified teacher with over 25 years experience and have been teaching jewellery workshops for 12 years. My work is inspired by natural forms, mainly flowers, foliage, and the seaside. PLEASE NOTE: Participants should be over 16 due to the equipment used in this process. However, I am happy to accept participants aged 14+, as long as they are accompanied by a paying parent/guardian, but please contact me via the 'message the tutor' button before booking. Everything will be provided for you on the workshop so there is no need to bring anything. If you use glasses for close up work, I would highly recommend that you bring these! When planning your journey please bear in mind that my workshops need to start promptly at the time stated due to the processes that we will be using, therefore could I ask that all participants arrive at least 5 minutes prior to the start time. Ransom's Pavilion is the red building in the middle of the park, there is a free car park next to the Esso Petrol Station on Nightingale Road - SG5 1RQ (the 3 hour restriction only applies between 9am - 5pm Monday to Friday).

Wendy Greenwood reviewed: Saturday silver ring making workshop - Ransom's Pavilion, Hitchin

"I did the silver clay course on Saturday with my niece. Both complete novices but Tuuli was very patient and explained processes clearly, and didn’t mind going over processes more than once for those of us who were confused the first time (me!)! She was very knowledgeable about her craft and ensured that we all came away with items to be proud of. Would highly recommend. "

Tuuli Parker responded:

"I'm so pleased you feel proud of what you made Wendy - you should be, your pieces came out beautifully! Thank you so much for your feedback, it is very much appreciated. Kindest regards, Tuuli"

Sarah Westcott reviewed: Saturday silver ring making workshop - Ransom's Pavilion, Hitchin

"Tuuli was a fantastic teacher! Patient with a complete beginner who had never tried any sort of crafting before. I came away with two beautiful silver pieces and lots of confidence to try another course. The small group meant plenty of opportunity to ask questions of Tuuli and a really friendly atmosphere. Can't recommend highly enough! "

Tuuli Parker responded:

"Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a nice review Sarah! Your pieces came out beautifully and I look forward to seeing you on futures courses! Kindest regards, Tuuli"

"I absolutely loved it! As a complete beginner I found Tuuli an excellent teacher, she is very patient and helpful. It was a small friendly class so I felt I had plenty of help when needed. I am delighted and very proud of the ring and pendant I made and very much looking forward to doing another course soon! Thank you Tuuli."

Tuuli Parker responded:

"Thank you so much for your feedback Carrie! I'm so glad you enjoyed the workshop and really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. I look forward to sharing more jewellery making techniques with you in the future. Best wishes, Tuuli"

"Bought this for my mother. Unfortunately due to Covid she had to wait a while. However, she absolutely loved the course, and made a wonderful ring, now using what she has learned to make rings in her studio. Thank you!"

Tuuli Parker responded:

"I'm so pleased to hear this! She asked lots of questions and seemed very excited to get back to her studio and put into practice what she had learned. Thank you for taking the time to give me feedback, it is greatly appreciated! Best wishes, Tuuli"

Elaine W reviewed: Saturday silver ring making workshop - Ransom's Pavilion, Hitchin

"This is my second session, I did the Silver Clay Saturday morning class last September and really enjoyed both. Tuuli is a very good communicator, very patient and helpful. The groups are small, so everyone is able to get the help and support they need. I was very happy with the ring I made, it’s amazing what you can achieve in a 4 hour workshop with little or no previous knowledge of working with the equipment and materials. If you’re thinking of booking a session, I would definitely recommend it, you won’t be disappointed!"

Tuuli Parker responded:

"Thank you Elaine for leaving such a lovely and detailed review! Your feedback is very important to me. I'm so glad you enjoyed the workshop. Kind regards, Tuuli"

Sam Irving reviewed: Saturday silver ring making workshop - Ransom's Pavilion, Hitchin

"This is my second course with Tuuli, and i I really enjoyed it. She's a great teacher and I didn't feel confused at any point even though a lot of the processes (like soldering and hammering) were totally new to me. I felt very proud of what I'd made at the end too! I also took my mum as her Xmas present and she thoroughly enjoyed herself too and is so pleased with the ring and earrings she made herself. Can't recommend highly enough."

Tuuli Parker responded:

"Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Sam! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave it. I'm so glad you and your mum enjoyed the workshop."

"Had such a lovely time, making my creations. It was only a small class and Tuuli was able to give everyone plenty of time to talk through all the processes. Really enjoyed the class and can't wait to get started."

Tuuli Parker responded:

"Thank you so much for your feedback Katherine. It is greatly appreciated. Welcome to the addictive world of silversmithing!"

Jodie King reviewed: Saturday silver ring making workshop - Ransom's Pavilion, Hitchin

"My 2nd class with Tuuli and it was just as good as the first! I loved the class and Tuuli is patient, informative and helpful. I also loved the small class size which meant everyone got 1 to 1 help and advice when they needed."

Tuuli Parker responded:

"Thank you so much for leaving feedback. I'm so glad you enjoyed it Jodie!"
