Kim P reviewed: Three Rings in a Day

"I have just done the Three Rings in a Day and I can honestly say that it is one of the best workshops that I have ever attended! Sara's tuition was first class and it was a thoroughly enjoyable day of learning a new skill. The explanations and demonstrations were very clear and precise and Sara was always available to help with the more tricky parts - nothing was too much trouble. All in all, I would highly recommend this workshop."

Stratford School of Jewellery responded:

"Thank you so much for your lovely review Kim, it was really great to meet you last weekend we all really enjoyed your company and are so glad you not only made a truly splendid set of rings but also had a great time! Best wishes, Sara "
