Sally reviewed: NEW Mini Workshop Anodising Titanium for Jewellery

"A great workshop! I have some titanium jewellery from back in the early 80s and always been fascinated by the beautiful colours and wondered how it’s achieved - well now I know! Viv is a friendly, knowledgeable and patient teacher. If you’re curious too about titanium, I’d definitely recommend this course - have a go... you won’t be disappointed! "

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"Thank you for this lovely review Sally! I am so pleased you enjoyed the experience and was most impressed by the determination, confidence and effort you gave the project - titanium is an awesome material to work with. You did yourselves proud, going home with beautiful Jewellery showcasing those gorgeous colours! I had a wonderful day and it is all down to the company and what the group brought to the table - you were amazing 😊"

Shirley reviewed: NEW Mini Workshop Anodising Titanium for Jewellery

"This was great fun and I learned how to do something that I've wanted to try for ages and it's so much better to be hands on. Viv was very generous with her knowledge and I went away with a beautiful pair of earrings and a pendant piece."

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"Thank you Shirley! I absolutely enjoyed our time together - the workshop was most enjoyable, I felt I was amongst equals with so much to learn! I was most impressed by your calm confidence, you were happy to use the equipment and you achieved beautiful results, delicate colours in your pendant that change in the light, bold stripes on your earrings - I really appreciate all that you brought to the table and such lovely company too 😊 "

Emma reviewed: NEW!! - Silversmith Creative Workshop - What will YOU make?

"I had the most fantastic jewellery making experience with Vivien. She is a brilliant teacher who is warm and welcoming, her teaching style was easily adapted to suit my needs and understanding and she offered a flexible session. Her studio is amazing and she worked hard to ensure I had a full understanding of everything I was doing, from the techniques down to explaining all the equipment that was being used. Vivien even followed up by messaging me links to places I could purchase tools from. It was such a fantastic day in which I got to work on 3 separate projects using different techniques, including and incredibly meaningful silver necklace with the thumb prints of my daughters made using casting clay. If you are considering a silversmithing course I would highly recommend Vivien. I am definitely planning to attend another class in the future."

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"Thank you so much for this lovely review - you were electric! I really enjoyed the day, you soaked up information and worked around your beautiful family - daddy was such a hero, giving you precious time to explore a variety of creative skills - I have visions of you all wearing gorgeous sea glass and amazing silver jewellery you made for each other 😊 Would love the opportunity to help you develop your silver skills further 😀"

Eriko reviewed: NEW!! - Silversmith Creative Workshop - What will YOU make?

"Ive had an amazing day! Viv was brilliant. It was my first time to make a jewellery like this and Viv was very good at explaining everything so I can understand. I really appreciate that she tried to help me with the ring that I wanted to make and I can't be happier with the result. I definitely learnt from the best!"

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"Hi Eriko, thank you so much for this really lovely review, I am so pleased you enjoyed your day - you accepted the challenges and worked hard, you must be so proud of yourself 😊 The spinner ring you chose to make was a new combination for me and you worked it beautifully ⭐ Thank you for pushing the boundaries 😊"
