Kelly Mitton reviewed: Make silver jewellery using precious metal clay or silver clay

"I had a really good day doing the silver clay course, it was informative and structured. I had bought a couple of my own moulds but Toni has so much stuff I didn’t need to. She showed me from beginning to end how to use the clay, and I ended up with 3 lovely pieces. Definitely would recommend this course for anyone who wants to have a trial at silver clay."

CG Crafts responded:

"Thanks Kelly. Loved the moulds you bought with you and the results! Best wishes, Toni"

Sanghamitra Chaudhuri reviewed: Flamework (Lampwork) - Making glass beads for beginners

"I did the Flamework beginners course. Enjoyed the experience thoroughly with Toni. Toni is an excellent teacher. She is very patient and guided me throughout the process of making the beads. She showed me different techniques that can be used to make the glass beads. She has given me details of books and materials required to make beads. I would highly recommend anyone who is interested to join this course. Enjoyed the day and I will be going back to do more. Thanks once again Toni. "

Pippa reviewed: Make silver jewellery using precious metal clay or silver clay

"I have never done any jewellery making before so Toni did a great job at explaining what we were going to cover, the theory behind silver clay, how we were going to do it and the background of making hand crafted jewellery. Toni was very informative, helpful and put me at ease. I had a lovely day and came away with some personal, handmade jewellery. Would highly recommend this course"

Penny G reviewed: Enamelling on Metal/Silver Clay

"Toni was a very knowledgeable and friendly tutor. My husband purchased the enamelling on silver clay session with her as a Christmas present. I had done silver clay before but the enamelling was completely new to me. Because of my experience with silver clay I felt that I would have preferred less time planning my pieces but more time enamelling them. I Thoroughly enjoyed my day with Toni and would definitely recommend her and her courses to others."

CG Crafts responded:

"Thank you for your feedback. The planning process is important for enamelling on silver clay and most students who come have done neither craft, or generally need a reminder even if they have. However, having taken your thoughts on board, for those that have done silver clay before I will look into sending them some planning info beforehand to speed up the silver clay part of the process, then I can be stricter on the timings for the planning/prototype section. It may also need to be just a one-to-one class for this to work. I’ll have a think. Best wishes, Toni :-)"
