Testimonials: "The course far exceeded my expectations. It was fun and very enjoyable and enabled me to try something that I have never done before and to understand and appreciate the jewellery making process. The 1:1 approach worked perfectly for me as Karen was expert in demonstrating the various pieces of equipment and the process to follow and then enabled me to do it for myself, so the end result was a beautiful piece of jewellery, in my case, a spinning ring, which was made using the skills and techniques shown to me on the day. I can highly recommend the experience to anyone." Sue Isaacson “I have made in less than a day’s work this beautiful piece of jewellery. I have bought lots of jewellery from Karen before which was always lovely, but then I heard about her workshops, so I booked on one. I had one to one tuition and made this. I love it. You can see I did it because my fingers are still dirty. She has got all these wonderful machines and equipment and you can come here and make you own jewellery. I love it.” Elke Hausler “I would just like to say thank you to Karen for a fabulous day. I brought my mum for something completely different. She is quite creative. I have zero artistic talents, but with Karen’s guidance I have produced some jewellery that I am very, very proud of. We had a lovely lunch, a great day with my mum and loved every minute of it.” Heidi Berry “I can thoroughly recommend coming. I have managed to make two things. But, for me it is about having a fun day together. It really has been fun. Thank you.” Valerie Bulcock "It was a great day. Working with Karen was a really good experience. It gave me confidence in using the materials and using the machinery, which is quite daunting if you have not used it for a long time or used it at all. So, I think whether you are a beginner or building on existing skills Karen adjusts her style and her support depending on what you need. It is a really good day to come out with a finished item when you started out with a very rough sketch in a book. It is just really good to have that professional support. The food at lunch was brilliant. And Karen keeps you to time. It is a lovely day and well worth doing. Thank you." Nicki Glen
