Maker's bio

Hi. My name is Jonathan Kettle. I love to teach people how to make their own silver jewellery! I run evening classes, 1:1 sessions, weekday classes and a very popular beginners class - the cake, coffee and cosy studio are important, but my main aim is for you to enjoy to the experience, and for you to leave 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!

Alison Hill reviewed: Stacking Rings at Salt Way Silver

"My daughter and I recently attended the silver ring making course at Salt Way Silver. It was EXCELLENT! The whole process was made seamless by Jonathan. He explained every step in detail, put us all at our ease and made it fun. The rings we made looked so professional, thanks to his teaching. The workshop was warm and cosy and there was plenty of refreshments to keep us going. I would definitely recommend this course and we will be booking again, I am sure... "

"Hi Alison, great to hear that you both enjoyed the silver jewellery class. Thank you for taking the time to write this very kind review. I work hard to ensure that students enjoy the session. Well done with your new silversmithing skills. You are always welcome back. (I'm still looking for the screw from your glasses without success!) Jonathan"

Carrie Marsh reviewed: Spinner Rings at Salt Way Silver

"We had a fantastic time at the spinner ring class at Salt Way Silver! There were four of us in total, and it was such a lovely day out—relaxed, friendly, and really enjoyable. We each came away with a beautiful handmade ring to wear. The homemade flapjacks were amazing too—such a nice touch! We're already planning to book more classes soon."

Salt Way Silver responded:

"HI Carrie (and Lisa, Nancy and Abbie)! It was a good day and I enjoyed helping you with your silver jewellery making. You are always welcome back - we could try something a little more challenging next time? Thank you for taking the time to write your very kind review - it really means a lot. Jonathan"
