Rachel Hearne Jewellery School responded:

"Thank you Lindsay it was lovely having you. You have real creative energy and it showed on the day. Your pieces were beautiful and you were a pleasure to teach. I hope I see you again soon in my new Jewellery School!"

"This was my third session with Rachel and each time I have felt that I have achieved making something precious, even though I’m a complete amateur. Rachel explains each stage and describes each process so well. It’s a wonderful feeling having time to get lost in being creative. Thank you Rachel and look forward to the next opportunity to try something new. Xx"

"I had such a fabulous day, learning a new craft, from an absolutely brilliant teacher, thank you Rachel.

I am going to make more with Art clay, I think it may be addictive!!"

Stephanie Johnson reviewed: Silver Metal Clay –Stone setting techniques, Lancaster, Lancashire

"I can't tell you how much I was looking forward to this course and.... I was not disappointed. It was FABULOUS. Rachel was her usual calm, warm, nurturing, encouraging self - she is also a 'natural' teacher. Not only did I learn new skills but I got to spend the day with a wonderful group of creative learners and teachers. I cannot recommend highly enough."

Lynne Wilson reviewed: Silver Metal Clay –Stone setting techniques, Lancaster, Lancashire

"I attended the Rolling Mill and Stamping course. Rachel was a great teacher, very knowledgeable, patient and full of ideas and the course was well run. She made sure we all followed the COVID regulations to keep us safe. With her help, I was able to make a lovely pendant which I was very pleased with considering it was my first attempt at jewellery making. I will definitely do another of her courses, just trying to decide which one next!"

Rachel Hearne Jewellery School responded:

"Thank you Lynne it was a pleasure teaching you and your pendant was a huge success. I’m so pleased you enjoyed it and felt safe. I’m looking forward to seeing you again."

Paula reviewed: Silver Ring Stack - 3 Rings in a Day

"I thoroughly enjoyed the course we did making bracelets, Rachel gave us enough guidance to feel really confident and plenty of time and freedom for creativity. I’m just waiting to be able to do the stacking rings course in the future"

Rachel Hearne Jewellery School responded:

"Thank you Paula it was so nice to meet you and watch your progression over such a short amount of time. You had such enthusiasm and energy its no wonder you made 2 perfectly sparkly bangles! I hope to see you again soon. Best wishes -R"

Maxine Taylor reviewed: Silver Ring Stack - 3 Rings in a Day

"A thoroughly enjoyable day. We covered so much in a short space of time but never overwhelmed. Rachel's knowledge is extensive and her teaching style is so inclusive and very well paced. Her enthusiasm is infectious and at the end of the day I walked away with a beautiful bangle that I have not taken off yet. I would heartily recommend this to anyone who would like to treat themselves and come away with a very clear idea of silver jewellery making without making a commitment to a set time beginners course. I am hoping to sign up to another making day."

Rachel Hearne Jewellery School responded:

"Thank you Maxine for your lovely review. It was clear to me you really enjoyed the day and have a very creative spirit. You made such a gorgeous bangle I loved the texture you added and the long twist you added. I hope to see you again soon. Best wishes -R"

Wend reviewed: Silver Ring Stack - 3 Rings in a Day

"My one to one class with Rachel was just what I wanted and needed. I have done a course with Rachel before. Rachel has a nice way about her which makes you comfortable with your ability, always encouraging and helping you achieve your goals . This one to one was an extension of the course I did at Halton Mill. The things I had picked up in those classes really helped me. I am pretty much a beginner and I am making bracelets, earrings and rings. My next project will be an inlaid ring. One of best things with one to one tutoring, is you pick up so much. It went so fast, which was a shame because I was enjoying it so much , hopefully I will be booking another soon.?"

Rachel Hearne Jewellery School responded:

"Wendy I am so pleased you found it useful. We really did cover a lot and I could see how fast you were absorbing it. I think you will find that with a little more practice you will be flying! I look forward to seeing you again soon but until then happy smithing."

Steph Johnson reviewed: Silver Ring Stack - 3 Rings in a Day

"I attended an 'Introduction to Metal Clay, day workshop. It was fabulous! Rachel is an amazing silversmith and a natural teacher. She gave clear information and instruction; modelled what we were expected to do and then let us get on with it, offering one to one guidance and support in a calm, patient and supportive manner. She was encouraging and enthusiastic throughout the day and was able to offer new learning for all the different levels of experience there. The whole day was positive and productive and a lovely creative way to spend time. I can't recommend it highly enough. It has sparked a new hobby for me and I can't wait to attend another class. Thanks Rachel : )"

Rachel Hearne Jewellery School responded:

"Thank you for that Steph you are a joy to have in the studio. I am pleased to see your progress and hunger for more information. Keep making!"
