Hi. My name is Jonathan Kettle, formerly of The Silver Jewellery Boat. Covid restrictions resulted in a change of location to a new studio. I run one day silver jewellery making courses for beginners - the cake and nice coffee are important, but your main achievement will be leaving at the end of the day with your own handmade silver jewellery piece. Some course dates are listed on this site but please contact me if you can't see a suitable one. Welcome!
Three of us booked on to the course with different skill levels and we all enjoyed learning how to make a silver ring. We practiced cutting and soldering, we had help with polishing. The atmosphere on the boat was relaxed and we all felt encouraged to give it a go. There was even homemade cake! I have recommended the course to friends of mine - some are going to make their wedding rings. I would like to return to make a bangle next time. Thanks!
I couldn't recommend this course any more! It was a really lovely day, stress free relaxed and made some wonderful rings. Very excited to get on with the new least skills and start creating my own!
Had a truly amazing day in this course. Everything was so calm, hands on and fun. Jonathan, who run the day, could not do enough to help and make it a lovely experience. I have come away with lots of skills and two fabulous rings!! Thank you :)
Wow what can I say but recommend this to everyone. I did the ring making course with my daughter as a birthday treat. It was perfect from start to finish. Learning to work with wire initially. Soldering, polishing, filing, measuring all wonderfully explained and demonstrated. Fabulous location, delicious cake and refreshments and ending up with a beautiful ring. A blissfully relaxing day .... Thank you Jonathan X
