"A fantastic taster morning in a lovely location with an excellent tutor. Louise explained everything clearly and concisely, and expertly answered any questions we had. We came away with finished pieces that we're all immensely proud of; more importantly, we left with the knowledge, confidence and desire to try silver clay for ourselves. If you're looking for an addictive new craft to try out, I can't recommend this highly enough."

Louise Anne designs responded:

" Thank you - so glad you enjoyed the course and are rightly proud of your lovely pieces ?"

Angie reviewed: Silver Rose

"The Silver Rose pendant is beautiful, and came very well presented and packaged. It even had a lovely free little jewellery pouch to store it in once unwrapped. It is approx 5g in weight and complete with the silver snake chain a total Silver weight of approximately 7g. As well as being gorgeous, it is also excellent value. I messaged Louise before ordering as the pictures showed two different chains, a snake chain and a finer looking chain. I preferred the snake chain and was pleased to hear you could choose either! Obviously the pictures are close up to show the detail, so the rose is smaller than it looks on the picture which is to be expected. But it may be helpful to prospective purchasers to add the measurement in the description? But this is in no means a criticism, I am very happy with my purchase and Louise is a pleasure to deal with."

Louise Anne designs responded:

" Thank you Angie- I am so glad you like your pendant. Also, thank you for your feedback it is always helpful as it’s easy to miss detail .Louise ?"

"We had such a wonderful morning learning how to use silver clay. A beautiful craft in a idyllic location. My daughters aged 14 and 11 really enjoyed the session and we’re thrilled with what they could produce in the time. Louise was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She explained everything so clearly and we were able to make some stunning pieces which are totally unique. I loved that we were given a chain so we could wear our creations straight away. Would highly recommend."

Louise Anne designs responded:

" Thank you - so glad you enjoyed it . Hope your lovely Jewellery has been admired ?"

"After finding a rare Saturday morning without my 3 year old, I booked myself onto Louise's jewellery course as it’s been on my bucket list for some time. It was a morning well spent with some lovely people. Louise was so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the silver. I took away 4 beautiful pieces and could not have been more chuffed with my work! I have many hobbies already but I instantly wanted to add this to my list! It was great and I’d recommend it to anyone!"

Louise Anne designs responded:

" Thank you- so glad you enjoyed it ! Hope your lovely jewellery has been much admired "

"The course with Louise was purchased as a Christmas present for my husband. He came home on both days filled with enthusiasm for silver clay (and with some lovely pieces of jewellery for me at the end!) He really enjoyed the experience of one to one learning with an interesting, informed and patient tutor. Louise, you have another fan!"

Louise Anne designs responded:

"The course is really good fun! Loads of equipment like stencils and moulds to make anything you want to, everyone on the course made brilliant pieces that they were rightly proud of. Louise talks you through each stage, demonstrating what to do and helps you if you get stuck. I'd recommend this course to anyone!"

" Thank you Sue - so glad you had fun !"

Mel reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop

"Really enjoyed learning more about working with silver clay and how to incorporate seaglass into a design. Louise was great and the class was 1 - 1 which gave me the opportunity to ask loads of questions. Great class."

"Had an amazing day yesterday on the seaglass and silver jewellery making course with Louise. A fabulous teacher and such a worthwhile course. Throughly enjoyed every moment of it and making personalised items to take away was a bonus. Louise spent time talking to me about processes and gave great tips and advice. Can't wait to try something else with her in the future. Thank you Busy showing the world my new designs already."

Louise Anne designs responded:

" Thank you- was lovely to meet you . I’m sure your lovely pieces are being much admired - have you had the drill out yet? Hope to see you again in the future, Louise?"

Gina Saunders reviewed: Silver Rose

"For my retirement a group of friends bought me a CraftCourses voucher November 2020. Unable to attend a course I decided to treat myself to a Silver Rose necklace. It is beautiful and very well made. I would recommend Louise's work and would like to do a workshop in the future."

Louise Anne designs responded:

" Thank you Gina I’m so glad you liked it and would love to welcome you to one of my workshops in the near future. Thank you once again and hope to see you soon. Kind regards, Louise."

Su McPherson reviewed: Silver jewellery beginners' class - one day

"I was looking for a new hobby having recently taken early retirement. The introduction day was absolutely fabulous and started me off on a brand-new hobby which I have further developed by attending Louise's ring making course. Louise has been incredibly helpful and supportive outside of the courses offering help and advice on where to purchase equipment and supplies as well as how to use them effectively. I highly recommend this course and I’ll be back for more ?"

Louise Anne designs responded:

" Thank you for your lovely review?"

Fiona reviewed: Silver jewellery beginners' class - one day

"Wow! What a fabulous day! Louise's passion and enthusiasm for silver metal clay is infectious and I've come away feeling confident and inspired! She is a very attentive and patient teacher and has completely eradicated my fears towards using a kiln, and experimenting for the first time with silver clay. Her studio is very picturesque but practical, so you immediately feel at ease. I have created a pendant to be proud of and am chuffed to bits ?I thoroughly recommend her workshop day and will definitely be signing up for the 2 day workshop! THANK YOU LOUISE XX"
