Ali Ward reviewed: " Day of the Dead" Silver Clay Workshop

"Was brought the course as a birthday gift. I have never used silver clay before and was initially unsure how I would get on. I had a lovely day learning the skills to model the clay. Sara spent time helping us to choose what to make and encouraged us to us our own ideas. Sara took us step by step through the process, answering our questions and encouraging all the way. I brought home some lovely pieces and had a throughly enjoyable day Thank you"

"Magical day for me, learning all about the fantastic silver clay. Sara is a great teacher . knows such a lot about this skill and is so lovely and patient and I learnt such a lot, which I am now going to continue at home, maybe even investing in a kiln! I travelled from Bath in Somerset to take part in this course,stayed over the night before and it was worth every penny! I strongly recommend this lovely course, I think 'The Secret Garden' course will be very special too! Thank you so much Sara :-) x"

"I really enjoyed this course!, Sara creates a relaxed and friendly atmosphere which helps to build confidence. She takes her students' ideas on board and is very supportive in helping them to achieve a pleasing outcome! I actually didn't think I would be able to produce anything worth while but came home with a delightful pair of earrings. I would hope, at some time, to attend another similar course!"

Sara is a great teacher who demonstrates and explains every step of the process, making it easy for beginners and more experienced artists to produce great work whilst having fun.

"Loved this class so much! Sara is so patient and helpful, full of good advice and suggestions. She helped us to get the most out of our time and gave us so many tips. It's like magic working with silver clay and we had everything we needed to have a great time playing with it. I run INTRA where the class was held, and have been very happy to have Sara back to teach it again. Everyone always has such a good time, and the pieces made are so personal and impressive. It's hard not to join in every time the class comes to us!"

"I did my course with Sara, and had a great time. She is a patient and calm teacher, and explains everything thoroughly. The course has excellent products to work with and each person has ample tools to make beautiful pieces of work. It's easy to go home with beautiful jewellery even after a few hours. Sara also had some starter kits for sale at a very reasonable price. I would recommend Sara's courses to anyone who is even thinking about working with silver clay. She's amazing, and has remained my friend, and guru, is happy to answer any questions I have .."

Lorna Walsh reviewed: " Day of the Dead" Silver Clay Workshop

"I showed up to the class with no knowledge of silver clay, or any idea what I wanted to make, and I came away with a keyring that I carry with me everywhere and enough confidence to try another project. Sara provides all the kit and know-how and, because she's an artist herself, she can help you design & create something special. I can't recommend this class highly enough!"

"Sara is a wonderful teacher. It was a great day I gained lots of information and learnt all about silver clay. Sara has a large collection of tools so you can try out many different techniques. I found the course gave me much more info than any book has, sara made the day relaxed and fun and I now have the confidence to use silver clay at home."
