Andy T reviewed: 'Make a silver ring' jewellery taster workshop - Somerset

"This was seriously one of the best things I’ve done this year. The evening was lovely being relaxed and informal but highly instructional and informative. The host is perfect in every aspect. Welcoming, warm, helpful, friendly and funny. It really did make for a lovely occasion on multiple levels. I would do this again with others or just with the random other people who attended who were all the loveliest of people to share that time with. 100/100 no doubt and I feel inspired to do more and left with something to treasure; both the ring and the memories."

Roderick Vere responded:

"Such kind words Andy! Real pleasure having you in to make a ring - was a really good group! Wishing you all the very best and do get in touch if you're ever keen to rustle up something else."

Clare Iles reviewed: 'Make a silver ring' jewellery taster workshop - Somerset

"I booked this course for my son’s birthday as he wanted to learn how to make silver jewellery and I thought I would have a go too! The course was fantastic and was everything we were hoping. Roderick was very welcoming and explained the process very well. There were 4 of us in the class and we felt that Roderick was able to give us all his attention and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. Everything was included and we came away very happy with our new rings that were unique to us and excited that we were able to make a ring from scratch as beginners. Would definitely recommend this interesting and fun course, Thank you Roderick!"

Roderick Vere responded:

"Many thanks for such kind words Clare. Was a real blast teaching you both. Glad you enjoyed yourselves! Best wishes and thanks again, Rod"

"This was a great 2 and half hours which ended with us walking away with our own handmade rings. We went through the whole process from start to finish and with Roderick's guidance it was totally stress free and very satisfying. I liked it so much I've ordered some tools to have a go at home 👍"

Roderick Vere responded:

"Wonderful to meet you Jamie. And a real pleasure to work with you too! Very much looking forward to seeing what new things you rustle up. Best wishes and stay in touch! Rod"
