I am a mum of five who believes in kitchen table industry. People with home commitments can find valid ways to contribute and achieve independence. Creative crafts offer more than just financial benefits, becoming skilled, using your mind and imagination, developing your own product is exciting and fulfilling. This is what drives me!
I had a fab day making a bronze bangle! It was great fun learning how to shape the metal, and I'm really pleased with what I made. Would love to come back and make another!

Hi Ellen - that's really good to hear, I am so pleased you enjoyed the day, despite all the hard work!Throughly enjoyed the wax carving course, Viv was very knowledgable and created a lovely environment to work at your own pace on your own project. Would recommend the class to anyone who wanted to give wax carving a go.
Response from Simply Amazing Jewellery School:
It's a fascinating activity - so amazing that you can produce such fabulous jewellery with just a few tools and a crazy idea! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review, I am looking forward to seeing you again to complete the course :)Excellent course, delivered by a teacher whose knowledge and enthusiasm shines through, as you learn through creating your own designs ready for casting. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and am now slightly obsessed with wax carving!
Session one was a great introduction to the craft. We started with some simple exercises to develop an understanding of how the wax would behave in different scenarios before moving on to crafting something to be cast. We were a really small group which allowed for great one on one interactions with Viv the instructor. We were allowed to use the time as we wanted and to build up an understanding of techniques that were valuable to us.
I'm really looking forward to the second session to refine some of the skills from the first.

Hi Sam, thank you so much for this, we have so much more to cover but I hope by the time we finish, you will have enough information, confidence and skill to know how to create the projects you want to make!
