« More about this course organiser
Jonathan was an excellent tutor and accommodated our family group, who had gathered together for a special birthday celebration, on his beautiful canal barge.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and we all came away with a piece of jewellery that we are thrilled with. Suffice to say we are planning another visit to learn how to make more pieces and the younger members of the family are keen to take this up as a hobby!
A great day out.
A relaxed yet challenging day led by an excellent and relaxing host in a unique setting.
We both made some great copper wiring and unique silver rings which we will treasure.
Highly recommended.
My daughter and I had a very enjoyable and relaxing day on the Silver Jewellery Boat. The boat is moored in a picturesque location near Droitwich and is equipped with everything needed to create your very own silver jewellery masterpiece. Jonathan is a patient and skilled teacher and guided us through each stage of making our jewellery. We came home feeling that we had experienced a great day out and we had the satisfaction of returning with a handmade bangle to remind us of the day.
Thank you for a fun filled day of jewellery making. A great experience which I'm sure to tell my friends about. Thank you for your patience - the tea and cake was scrummy too.
A really fun day - very therapeutic and I learned loads of new skills - even soldering! Jonathan is very very patient and encouraging, and has created a lovely warm environment in his boat. Highly recommended for an unusual day out - you'll be hooked!
What a magical 50th birthday present! A special day making something beautiful. Jonathan was a calm and encouraging teacher and made for a unique experience.
The day was really a lot of fun, but also really interesting and engrossing and very rewarding. It's a fabulous setting and Jonathan is patient and a great teacher. Wonderful day out with friends.
PS Amazing cake!
Great way to celebrate with friends. A really memorable occasion.
Excellent day, very chilled out and relaxing.
Jonathan is a great teacher, host, and a very skilled artist. Brilliant day. : )
Fantastic day, lovely surroundings and hospitality.
Really please with my keychain and bangle - very satisfying to be able to learn in just one day!
Myself and best friend Liz had the best afternoon, celebrating our 30th birthdays, creating one off bangles. Would definitely recommend this experience to everyone. Beautiful surroundings: fire on, drinking tea, eating cake - the hours flew by!
Would do it again!
We have had a wonderful day aboard the silver jewellery boat. Such a well thought out day learning lots of different techniques to make our final bangle! Lovely company and cake too! Highly recommended.
Thank you Jonathan.
A great way to spend the day with friends. I learnt a great deal and left with a beautiful bangle.
We had a lovely day making our special bangles. Jonathan was very patient and a great teacher. Highly recommend the day.
Thanks
Very enjoyable day. Passed so quickly. Had a fantastic time and made a lovely bangle.
We have had the best time making each other’s wedding rings. Every last thing was perfect; the location, the tea, the whole experience was top notch. Jonathan’s expertise and calmness was a perfect balm in the middle of wedding-planning chaos. Seriously, I would recommend everyone makes their own wedding rings on this boat, you get to spend the day away from wedding madness and be calm and you get to make something with love for the person you love. I cried a little when I saw how much love and care he put into making mine, I will cherish it forever. The one I made for him is pretty amazing too!!
We were both slightly nervous as we were complete beginners, but Jonathon made sure we felt supported and comfortable. He filled us both full of confidence and knew when to sit back and when to step in. We are delighted with our rings, they are unique and really high quality, I cannot recommend this day enough and we will remember it always.
We spent a magical day on the boat making each other's wedding rings. Jonathan guided us through the whole process from start to finish so that we could design the kind of rings we really wanted. It meant the world to us that we were able to be very hands on and do most of the work ourselves. Our friends and family can't believe that we made them - they look so professional! And completely unique. Thank you so much Jonathan for making our big day even more special. An experience we will never forget.

We had a wonderful ring making experience with Jonathan, he was so welcoming and patient. I really enjoyed learning the techniques and my finished ring is just what I had hoped for.
A brilliant day, thank you!
A beautiful environment and a superb tutorial from from Jonathan that will suit all abilities. I am leaving with a ring I would've happily paid more for, than the course cost. We all really enjoyed the experience.
I was nervous initially as I didn't know what to make. Jonathan gave us plenty of time and ideas to help, and I feel really pleased with my creation!
