« More about this course organiser
The Bangle Making Course was perfect in that it gave me time to hang out with a friend whilst learning a new craft and at the end we both had a couple of beautiful bangles. Would highly recommend if your looking for something different to do.
Sadly due to a genuine diary mixup which was my fault, we missed the course. However the provider was unable to re-book or offer a refund due to their cancellation policy. We have therefore had to forfeit the course fee for 3 people. The provider has offered us a 10% discount as a gesture of goodwill if we choose to rebook. We are unlikely to take advantage of this. We are bitterly disappointed to have missed the course, something we had originally planned to do before the pandemic and completely accept that it was our mistake. However, the level of compromise offered by the provider is disappointing and should we decide to devote additional funds to undertake a course, we will be looking elsewhere.
A thoroughly enjoyable evening working with a group of pleasant and relaxed participants.The evening was well planned and techniques explained in a friendly manner. The girls were helpful and encouraging as we all experimented with patterns before making our rings.
Very happy with the outcomes.
A cuppa would have been appreciated.
Lovely tutor, fabulous workshop and very pleased with the earrings and necklace.
Could just have done with somewhere to have a 10 minute break and a cuppa about half way through.

Hi SamanthaI loved this workshop, very hands on and well explained by two knowledgable instructors. A real range of ring designs could be made from a simple band and I felt like it gave me room for my creative vision whilst still being manageable in the time frame. Came away with two lovely rings I’ll enjoy for a long time.
Was on this course today with my daughters it was given to me as a Christmas present. Really enjoyed it and meant a lot came away with a lovely pair of silver earrings. Thank you, it was great fun.. I would like to point out though on the course description it says it covers soldering which I was really looking forward to doing, so was disappointed to discover it wasn't included. Hence the good review and not excellent..

Hello Kate,Just finished this course today. Great instruction by Fiona and I have ended up with 2 bangles that look fantastic. She guided our group through each technical step with clear instructions and a demonstration. I can’t wait to try out one of the other courses.

Hi Pam,Thoroughly enjoyed this bangle making workshop on Saturday with a group of friends. Such a lovely thing to do - and you don’t have to be particularly creative! With some guidance from the lovely Fi, I was able to produce two bespoke bangles - one copper and one silver. I’m going to keep the copper one for myself and give the silver one as a gift. Such a therapeutic activity and a sense of accomplishment at the end. I shall be returning to make some earrings and a ring and will be buying vouchers for gifts for friends because it’s such a lovely experience. Thank you!
