Kate and Kevin reviewed: Enamelling on copper

"We had a fantastic day with Dilys at her studio and could not be more pleased and encouraged. We are complete beginners and had no experience of enamelling whatsoever. We both made 3 pieces under expert guidance and were made to feel that we could do anything! Her calm approach to teaching was so encouraging. If you've had any thoughts of trying this, just do it. It's great and Dilys made us feel like professionals!"

"I dont know where to start! I booked the course with Dilys in order to be able to learn how to teach some basic enamelling to my secondary age students. The amount of help, advice and support I received was incredible. Dilys went above and beyond any prior expectations that I had in mind. She was so generous and so incredibly friendly that I really didn't want to leave at the end of the day. I will most definitely be going back to learn even more, thank you so much Dilys, you're amazing!"

Rob & Philippa reviewed: Enamelling on copper

"Rob: I booked a day course with Dilys as an anniversary surprise for my partner. I'm not particularly artistic or creative, but felt that it would be a day that we would enjoy together. I was not disappointed - Dilys made us feel welcome and her enthusiasm, patience and skill ensured that we both had an enjoyable and productive day creating works of art of which we are each extremely proud. The only negative to the day was that it passed way too quickly. We are already booked in for a second day when we will learn further techniques and practice what we have already learnt. This was a perfect way to spend our anniversary - thank you Dilys. Philippa: After weeks of waiting, my surprise was revealed! Rob and I had a wonderful day with Dilys. Neither of us had done enamelling previously but both of us are delighted with our first attempts, and immensely proud to see pictures of them on the Rosy M Design website. Dilys is a patient, supportive and inspiring tutor and we are looking forward to returning for another day of creativity so we can build on our new-found skills. Thank you Dilys."

"My friend & I has a wonderful day with Dilys we didn't want it to end. We were made so welcome, gained a wealth of knowledge and came away feeling inspired and wanting to continue learning more about enamelling. I would recommend to anyone considering taking up enamelling or just wishing to learn a new skill to do a course with Dilys, she is an excellent, patient teacher. I can't wait till I return to the UK again in July so I can have another day motivational day with Dilys."

"Just in from a brilliant day as a beginner learning under the expert tuition of Dilys. Car park easy to find currently £5.20 for 8hrs. The mentioned stairs up to work room on first floor being normal carpeted household stairs. Managed to fit in two pieces, one of which Dilys helped me to include at least 5 of the techniques she had shown us on the vast array of samples. We had lunch at the nearby Craft Cafe as recommended by Dilys, very good community project serving basic but very tasty food £3.30 for a cheese/onion toastie. Dilys explains very clearly and comprehensively the various processes, with the course being very much hands on, she is very patient and made us feel very proud of what we achieved."

"I had no experience in enamelling when I booked my course with Dilys although I had done some glass fusing before. It was a lovely day, I learned so much Dilys makes you feel so relaxed it made everything seem so easy and the whole the day very enjoyable. I made 3 pendants which I love. I now have my own kiln and hope to go back for another course to learn more in the near future."

"I booked a one day enamelling course as a birthday treat for my Mum, as I wanted her to have something to keep, but also for us to spend time together. I am not a particularly creative person & certainly not arty at all, so I wondered how well I would do. I have to say that I am now hooked! Dilys is a great teacher, very patient, helpful and encouraging...and she was as excited as we were to see our pieces come out of the kiln. We had a thoroughly enjoyable day. I found the enamelling quite easy to do & there were so many different effects that you could create. I actually found it extremely relaxing too. By the end of the day, I had made a total of 5 different pendants. 2 for myself, 1 for each of my daughters and one that will be a birthday present for a friend. My mum made 3 different pendants for herself & bought some matching earrings & a ring that Dilys had made and my sister-in-law made a pendant and a coaster. So you can do as much or as little as you want to and Dilys will give you as much or as little help as you like. I have to say I highly recommend the day & I'm sure I will attend one of Dilys's courses in the future (I hope so anyway!)"

Jenny Litten reviewed: Enamelling on copper

"This was an excellent course and Dilys is a brilliant and knowledgable teacher. I attended the course with my Dad and sister who had done some enamelling before but I was a complete beginner and she was fantastic at helping all of us produce pieces that we were really pleased with. She showed us a variety of techniques and skills and we all came away wanting to do more enamelling! I'd highly recommend this course. Thank you Dilys for a very enjoyable day."

"I attended a day course with my friend for her Birthday treat (she is very creative & I knew this would be right up her street!) and we had a lovely day. I am not very creative but after a few hours spent with Dilys I had released the creative me with had made the most Beautiful enamelled key rings & necklace. Dilys is passionate & her creative enthusiasm for this art is the first thing I noticed. Dilys was very patient and shared with us the many techniques that can be used to create diffrent effects. The courses are fantastic, an absolute must for anyone! Would definitely recommend - Thank you :)"

"I first attended one of Dily's courses three years ago, since then attending many more. Dilys is a 1st class teacher who is passionate about this craft with the amazing ability to nurture and encourage the best out of you. As I have experienced this course is equally ideal to take part as a group or to do on your own as it is so easy to become totaly absorbed in the whole process. I have all ways been amazed at what I have achieved -Pendants, necklace, plaques etc, this is a very enjoyable and rewarding day and one that I would definitely recommend."

"Dilys is a great teacher, passionate about her craft which she loves sharing with you. I have attended a few of her courses and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. Enamelling is an exciting craft and you will be amazed at what you can produce. I have made jewellery, pictures etc - I am not very arty but was able to produce some fantastic pieces. An enjoyable day that you won't want to end....:)"
