Sea & Solder reviews

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

"I did a 10 week course recently and it was fantastic. I really appreciated the small group as there was scope to get all the tutoring and advice I needed to do my pieces. The workshop is well equipped and a nice environment to work in. Tea and cakes/biscuits were supplied! In the time, I managed to make a ring set with my own glass plus three bangles held together with three rings and three discs dangling from it (a design I wanted to make to represent my three children). Jules is a calm and diligent teacher. She was great with me as a complete novice, but also with others who had done silversmithing before. I would highly recommend the course and I’ve already booked again."

Sea & Solder responded:

"Thank you Annie, it's been wonderful teaching you and seeing you enjoy your journey into silversmithing. Your work is lovely and I'm looking forward to seeing what you make next term. Thank you for joining us again."

"Jules workshop was fabulous! I absolutely love the ring I made. She was very helpful and patient, taking time to show us how it is done and then helping us make our own creations. I would recommend this to anyone who would enjoy creating their very own, one off, piece of jewellery."

Sea & Solder responded:

"Thank you Amber. It was lovely to meet you and see how much you enjoyed your day with us. Your ring is just wonderful."

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

"I attended a seaglass jewellery workshop with Jules and came away with the most beautiful ring. Jules taught us step by step throughout the day, provided plenty of tea and a lovely environment. The workshop is wonderful with lots of tools and everything we needed for the day. Ive since booked onto one of her stacking ring workshops so I can add to my seaglass ring, I cant wait! J"

Sea & Solder responded:

"Hi Julie, it was lovely to have you in the workshop and help you make your truly wonderful ring. I am looking forward to seeing you again soon to help you make your stacking rings."

"Such a great day. Fascinating learning all the tips and techniques. Jules made us feel right at home, supportive and generous with her time. A very relaxing session, great for well-being. Wearing my finished ring with pride!"

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

"Super day and learned a huge amount. Jules was patient and informative. I loved the seaglass and silver item I made attached to a bangle. There were only two of us so we had a lot of tuition. I will definitely try something similar in the future."

Sea & Solder responded:

"Thank you Judy. It was lovely to meet you and well done on making such a wonderful piece to add to your bangle."

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

"Jules is a brilliant teacher. Absolutely loved the stacking ring jewellery class. Jules made us feel very relaxed and the 3 hours went so quickly. Taking our rings away on the day was ace. I will definitely be coming back for more classes. Thank you :)"

Sea & Solder responded:

"Thank you Lydia. Jules"

"Jules is one in a million! Having previously bought a one of a kind sterling silver Seaglass ring I was already in love with the work sea & solder was producing. Her customer service was 10/10, sufficiency, organisation, new equipment, extremely insightful and knowledge was flawless. I decided to book a session with my friend to do a stacking ring workshop for both our birthdays and it was the best present / activity we have both done in a long time. Our rings look beautiful, a well spent session we will definitely be booking on again and taking friends and family too! Thank you Jules so much"

"Absolutely brilliant day. Thoroughly enjoyed it and with the patience and tuition I, and the rest in the group, were able to make a stunning piece of jewellery. Excellent facilities and Jules, you were amazing reaching us something completely new. Will definitely recommend you to my friends."

"Absolutely excellent. The group of 4 with plenty of knowledgeable, supportive patient tuition were able to achieve diverse pieces all of which were great. Would recommend this unconditionally."

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

"I had such a great day! I have no previous experience and do not consider myself particularly creative so was a bit unsure what to expect. Jules creates a relaxed environment where with her tuition, anything is possible! I really enjoyed learning how to make my cuff and am extremely proud that I made something so lovely. I am trying very hard to find another beautiful piece of sea glass so I have an excuse to come back and try creating something else."

Sea & Solder responded:

"Nicky your cuff was fantastic, well done and thank you for a lovely review. Best of luck with your future seaglass hunting."

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

"My partner bought me this experience for Christmas and I didn’t know how much I wanted to do it until I experienced it! Juels was lovely, very warming and easy going. I had never worked with silver before so I was slightly nervous but a relaxed environment, good coffee and an excellent teacher resulted in my first of many silver pieces. I had no idea what would come of the day and didn’t believe I could make a piece of wearable jewellery, but I now get endless comments on my bangle and it never comes off. Lots of laughter, a strong supply of oat milk and knowledge to last a lifetime, plus my beautiful handmade seaglass bangle. A huge thank you for sharing your skills ?"

Sea & Solder responded:

"Frankie it's great to hear your bangle hasn't come off and you have had lots of lovely comments. Well done on creating this lovely piece of jewellery. It was lovely to meet you and see you create such a unique piece on the day."

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

"I had such a lovely time with Jules! She was a great teacher and super patient and knowledgeable with all the questions. I am so obsessed with my sea glass ring, I didn’t bring my own piece of sea glass and Jules had tons for me to choose from. I receive compliments on my ring all the time and it’s so cool to be able to say I made it. I did another session to make some stacking rings that complete my sea glass ring. I’ll definitely be back for more, hoping to do one of the 10 week courses in the future."

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

"I had a lovely day making a sea glass ring with sea glass I had found from my local beach. Jules was a very patient and knowledgeable teacher - I had no idea how much work goes into making a ring! Her workshop is lovely and I absolutely love the ring that she guided me in making."

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

"I absolutely loved this workshop. I have personally made sea glass rings but wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly, Jules was so helpful, informative and happy to continue her advise after the course. We had 2 rings and 1 necklace pendant being made, where she was able to work within everyone's pace. There was a lovely environment and I am very envious of her cute little garden workshop. Completly covid safe. I have told friends and family that I highly recommend the course."

Sea & Solder responded:

"Thank you Vicky. It was lovely to have you in the workshop and see you create a beautiful piece of jewellery with the skills you already had. And thank you very much for the recommendations too."

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

"I had a fantastic time at the Sea and Solder workshop. I got the chance to make a beautiful Seaglass ring, something I would never have thought I could do. Jules was a brilliant teacher and very patient. I would highly recommend her workshops! Thanks Jules!"

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

"I was one of 4 complete beginners in the Sea and Solder studio, and it was an amazing day. Julia was an enthusiastic and brilliant teacher guiding us through the various techniques with clear instructions and demonstrations. The small group allows for very individual teaching, and unlike many other courses I’ve been on, we all completed something quite different and original. (One ring, one bangle and 2 very different pendants.) Everyone came away with a huge sense of achievement and a good understanding of basic silversmithing techniques."

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

"Would absolutely recommend Sea and Solder, not only for the amazing jewellery I have had previously but now for the incredible courses too. I had a fabulous time with Jules, she is so patient and knowledgeable. The final piece is great, I can't believe I made it! Lucky to have found such a encouraging teacher, can't wait to come back and craft some more special pieces for friends and family. Thank you so much!"

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

"This is the best idea to ever have! I've never felt so attached to a piece of jewellery! I absolutely love my silver and seaglass necklace that I've made. And I have a newfound appreciation for the process of making a piece...it's so technical! It's worth spending the money to create a piece that is completely personal, robust and will stand the test of time. Ive learnt a lot, left with a piece I'll treasure forever and the help and advice from Jules was invaluable. Thank you Jules!"

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

"Did a fantastic ring making course with Jules! The workshop is lovely and Jules is so helpful and knowledgeable. There’s a lot more to making jewellery than I realised but Jules guided me through it and I was so pleased with the quality of ring I was able to make with her help! Definitely recommend doing one of her courses!"

Sea & Solder responded:

"Thank you for a lovely review Kate."

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

"I would really recommend a day with Jules. I arrived with no experience and was given the tools and advice to allow me to make a sea glass necklace, it is so beautiful and I can wear it with pride knowing that I made it! Thank you, Jules, I can't wait to return to make something else!"

Sea & Solder responded:

"Alice thank you so much for your recommendation in this lovely review. Your necklace was beautiful, it was fantastic having you in the workshop and seeing how proud you were of your finished piece. Well done. Jules"
