"This is the second one day sea glass workshop I’ve done with Sea and Solder and I couldn’t recommend it more. Jules is a brilliant teacher, so knowledgeable about silversmithing, encouraging and patient! The class size is perfect, maximum of 4 people so Jules can spend time with each person as and when needed. I absolutely love the pieces I’ve made and get so many lovely comments about them. "

Lavinia Asquith reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"This workshop was a really good introduction to silversmithing techniques. Jules is a brilliant teacher, she’s carefully broken the process down into easily manageable steps with clear explanations and was able to help everyone with further advice as needed. Her workshop is well set up and it was a really enjoyable day. I came away with a gorgeous necklace which far exceeded my expectations of what might be possible for a first attempt. Highly recommended. "

Sandra Looker reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"Such a fantastic day - Jules was excellent giving us all enough freedom to learn how to create the jewellery ourselves whilst still overseeing carefully to ensure what we made was of the best quality. Really excellent day and we’re looking forward to follow up photos and notes."

Alena reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"What an amazing one day workshop! I have learned so much from Jules who knows her craft very well, and is a such good teacher. Her little studio is well equiped and organized. There were 3 of us, and each of us managed to create a beatiful seaglass silver ring under her expert guidance. Very enjoyable day indeed! "

Alison Gore reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"Absolutely beautiful day from the warm welcome to the final taking home my beautiful ring. Jules was on hand to take us step by step through the silversmithing process and help out when/if needed with kindness and patience. Lovely setting."

Kate reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"Such a fun day. Jules broke down each process into stages, helping each of us as much or as little as we needed. When I broke my piece of glass at the final stage, she really kindly made me a replacement bracelet using the band I had worked on and I received it only 2 days later. Jules is a really kind a patient tutor who clearly delights in seeing her students learning. I’m so pleased a friend recommended this course to me (when I noticed her own beautiful creation) and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it to others. I’m so pleased with my beautiful sea glass bracelet. Thank-you Jules."

Hester reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"I attended Jules's seaglass workshop with my partner. We had so much fun and both made pendants which we are really happy with and have been wearing with pride ever since. We used our own seaglass but Jules also had plenty available we could have chosen from. The day was really lovely and we enjoyed meeting everyone and spending the day in the workshop. Thank you so much!!!"

Sea & Solder responded:

"Thank you Hester. It was lovely to have you both in the workshop and help you both create such special pieces. All the best. Jules "

"This was a fantastic introduction to silversmithing! Jules is a really encouraging tutor with a passion for her craft. She has created a lovely workspace with everything we needed to create stunning pieces by the end of the day. The pace of the workshop was excellent - having a maximum of 4 participants means Jules is able to give participants plenty of attention and I never needed to wait more than a few minutes for support when I needed it. I would definitely recommend this workshop and Jules as a knowledgeable and encouraging tutor who will help you achieve something you will be really proud of."

"Really great fun day. Loved making my own piece of jewellery and lots of lovely pieces available to buy too. Well explained and demonstrated day, plenty of coffee and tea offered too! Would definitely recommend"

"Thank you Lynda. It was lovely to meet yourself and your daughter. Always good to hear I've provided enough tea and coffee too!! Your work was beautiful, well done. Jules"

Emma Crossman reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"I am delighted with the piece Jules enabled me to realise. I learnt a great deal through the experience. Jules helped at every stage, but did not interfere, advised when asked and ensured we had the appropriate level of supervision. The workbenches were exceptionally well equipped She helped me to achieve a high level of finish which I did not expect. Some patience is needed as her time is divided and you may not be able to work at your own pace. However, she worked above and beyond to ensure we all finished our pieces without any time pressure. Thank you Jules."

Carol reviewed: Tuesday evening - Ten-week termly jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder

"There is no better feeling than being able to say ‘I made it myself’ and, having just finished my first 10 week course with Jules, I can’t wait for the next one to begin! The Sea and Solder workshop is a lovely working space and fully equipped with everything that’s needed. Jules is such a brilliant, calm and knowledgeable teacher and a wonderful communicator who guides you through all the processes. On the last course I made a really special statement ring with a polished pebble (which I had collected with my Mum when I was a child) and also a set of 3 seaglass rings using pieces of glass found on a family holiday in France. I was also thrilled to be able to repair a couple of pairs of earrings. I’ve now got a big list of projects I can’t wait to start next term! There is so much to learn in silversmithing, but in a small group on the 10 week course there is time to really get to grips with all the basics, and leave with all the beautiful things you have made yourself."

Sea & Solder responded:

"Carol its been fantastic having you on the course this term and seeing how much enjoyment and satisfaction you have had from each piece of jewellery you have made. Thank you for this lovely review and I look forward to seeing you again next term. Jules"
