Beverley and Siân reviewed: Full day - Silver jewellery making course for beginners

"We did this workshop as a mother and daughter Christmas treat. We had an amazing day and Jonathan was patient and friendly explaining the processes. We practiced with copper in the morning and Jonathan was very encouraging so we felt confident to make silver bracelets and stacking rings. The cost of the silver was very reasonable. Really enjoyable day and we will look to attend another workshop. "
