Ellen Price reviewed: Silver Jewellery making class at Sandra Kerns Jewellery studio, Little Sampford

"Sandra’s patient friendly manner enabled me to have confidence to create beautiful earrings which I had a clear picture of in my imagination but was unable to even draw. I am not artistic with my hands but Sandra demonstrated and then encouraged me to have a go at many different skills to translate my idea into reality. My daughters and I were enabled to transform a flat rectangle of silver using Sandra’s remarkable range of tools and machines. Thank you Sandra you have a lovely studio and are a generous host and skilled teacher. We were inspired by seeing all that you have made."

"Having undertaken 3 courses with Sandra Kerns Jewellery at various levels I can say with confidence Sandra is not only a talented silversmith but also a wonderful teacher and has taught me many useful techniques from basic silver clay and silversmithing to more technical processes and problem solving - who would have thought the humble potato such a useful tool! Sandra is incredibly patient and has a well equiped studio in a beautiful location ready to teach basic jewellery making/beading and more advanced skills for those with some knowledge already who want to advance. Great value, learn a new skill, make an item you can wear and maybe leave with one or two bought from her collection which is hard to resist!"

Josie Bartlett reviewed: Silver Jewellery making class at Sandra Kerns Jewellery studio, Little Sampford

"I was privileged to be one of Sandra's first students. The day covered a lot of information which Sandra has obviously put a lot of thought, time and effort into learning in order to pass this on. But it wasn’t just about the new knowledge I gained. The main benefits came from actually creating a piece, receiving individual feedback and interacting with Sandra about ideas and techniques. This day gave me a much firmer appreciation of the jewellery making process, especially when Sandra was thrilled when I finally broke a saw blade. (Apparently this is very common). I made some lovely pieces that day which a friend wore for her wedding. I would highly recommend this course. Sandra is a great teacher a wonderful mentor, but ultimately a superb silversmith!"
