"Had a fantastic day with Penny learning the basics of wax carving. She shared all of her knowledge and it was great to see her actually making an item alongside me. Great pack of supporting information too! Would definitely recommend."

Jon reviewed: Wax Carving for Jewellery Making - One Day Workshop - In Person, In London

"Signed up for this course as I really wanted to design and make my own ring - as a complete beginner the course was brilliant - enough time to go through each stage of the process thoroughly and to really craft your carving. Penny was great at offering advice and techniques to achieve YOUR design. The follow up information for casting and polishing was equally as thorough and really pleased with the ring I designed in the session and the other two I have made since!!"

Penny Akester Jewellery responded:

" Hi Jon - so glad you had a good day - your rings have come out great - well done on your hard work!"

Justine reviewed: Wax Carving for Jewellery Making - One Day Workshop - In Person, In London

"I had a brilliant day learning all about wax jewellery making from Penny. She is a very experienced jeweller and teacher, and taught at a perfect pace, with a great mix of demonstrating and letting me have a go, and in the afternoon I could experiment more, thanks to Penny’s patience and support. I am really chuffed with the rings I have made! "

Penny Akester Jewellery responded:

" Hi Justine! I'm so glad you're pleased with the rings - great to meet you - have fun with lots more experimenting with wax to come! I'd love to see pictures of the finished rings, if / when you get them cast!! Penny"
