Heather Jolley reviewed: Silver Clay Christmas fun two days workshop.

"This course is amazing, Ana is such a knowledgeable person. Kind and considerate with lots of stories from her years of experience. A warm welcome awaits you on this magical adventure, and it is a pure magical experience, starting off with something you’ve made in what is seemingly clay, watching it turn in to fine silver. I totally get the science behind the process but still it blows my mind. Ana you are an amazing person and I look forward to taking more of your courses and learning from your vast experience and wealth of knowledge xx "

A CAT Jewellery responded:

"Hi Heather Thank you so much for such wonderful review. It was a pleasure to show you the basics and some of the more advanced skills. You weren't deterred by difficulty of some of techniques and made some intricate pieces which you should be very proud. It was lovely to meet you. Looking forward to our next class. xx "

Helen reviewed: Silver Metal Clay beginners class

"I did the beginners course on the 4th May. What a fantastic half-day. Ana is a brilliant teacher and so enthusiastic about her art and sharing her experiences. I had not worked with silver clay before, but came away with two beautiful pendants and a wealth of knowledge. The workshop area is purpose-built for teaching and is comfortable. It was incredible to see how clay turns into silver, using relatively simple techniques you can then do at home. I will definitely be going back for more sessions, I would highly recommend you give it a go too. "

A CAT Jewellery responded:

"Hello Helen, thank you so much for your wonderful comments. We had a productive and enjoyable session. It was so nice for me to be able to share my knowledge with such enthusiastic and talented student. Already looking forward for the next opportunity."

Richard reviewed: Silver Metal Clay beginners class

"We did this course today. We booked it at really short notice, but everything was very organised and in place. I felt that Ana really went out of her way to deal with a lot of left field questions from us, and really tailored the course to our needs. Most of all it was fun and we came away with some shiny artefacts. Many Thanks Ana."

A CAT Jewellery responded:

"Thank you so much Richard and Cath for your kind review. I enjoyed meeting you and seeing your progress through the day. Beautiful pieces made and it was fun going through all the processes in time and successfully and seeing your ideas coming to life. Best wishes to you both. "

"Excellent course for those wanting to try a different craft, or complete crafting beginners. Ana is a great teacher with a wealth of experience which helped everyone create something unique to them, with plenty of opportunities to try all the different skills involved in working with silver clay. Incredible value for money. Will definitely be taking more classes with Ana. It was also a great birthday treat for my sister.

Pazit reviewed: Silver Metal Clay beginners class

"I wholeheartedly recommend Ana's workshop. Ana is very experienced and clever design artist. Her teaching skills and attention for details are of a first class. The studio is organised so wonderfully, neatly and is very inviting. For every question you ask you will get a full answer, lots of examples and even a story! Ana is very generous and accommodating. My workshop was a gift from my husband and children on a special birthday. I feel so privilege and honoured. What a genuinely nice time I've had! Please visit Ana's website for examples and you can also see my project in her facebook page. Enjoy *****!!!"
