Silver jewellery class for beginners

Imogen reviewed: Silver jewellery class for beginners

"My friends and I really enjoyed the beginners jewellery class. We all came away feeling relaxed and so happy with what we made. Jonathan is a brilliant teacher and his studio has everything you could need. You spend the morning learning skills using copper, then after some delicious home made cake and tea you get going on your pieces. I absolutely love my new jewellery. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn a new skill or just looking for something a bit different to do. Thank you so much Jonathan!"

Rosemary E reviewed: Silver jewellery class for beginners

"A very enjoyable day with sound teaching to an absolute novice. Very encouraging and helpful tutor who provided home-made cake (his own!) and enabled me to produce a beautiful silver bangle that I have been wearing all day - and received admiring comments."

Salt Way Silver responded:

"For an "absolute novice", you impressed me with your new silver jewellery making skills, and created some very impressive silver jewellery. It was a pleasure to help you with your chosen project. Thank you your very kind review : ) Jonathan"

Sally Price reviewed: Silver jewellery class for beginners

"I can highly recommend Jonathan’s beginners course at Salt Way Silver, my friends and I really enjoyed the session. Jonathan was very patient and explained all of the jewellery making processes very clearly. We spent time making a practice piece in copper to cover all the techniques we might need and then went on to make a piece of our choice in silver using everything we’d learned in the previous couple of hours. We were all delighted to be able to produce something we wanted to wear at the end! Crafting with friends is a great way to spend a Saturday morning!"

Salt Way Silver responded:

"Thank you Sally. It was a real pleasure to spend time helping three friends develop the skills to create some more beautiful silver jewellery. You are always welcome back! Many thanks for this kind review. Jonathan"

Heidi Worth reviewed: Silver jewellery class for beginners

"I recently completed the 8 week evening class ... wow, just wow! Jonathan is the most amazingly patient and knowledgeable tutor, and I can honestly say this course totally exceeded any prior expectations I had ♥️ I urge anyone who wants to build on any previous jewellery making experience, or just wants to do something different, or out of their comfort zone to sign up, you really won't be disappointed!! Safe to say, I will be first in the queue for an extending skills course, should one be offered in the future 😉 Thank you Jonathan, an absolute legend 😀"

Salt Way Silver responded:

"Dear Heidi, I've just been out to the shop to buy a picture frame because I might just have to frame this review! I am so very happy that you enjoyed the class and I am also pleased with the progress that you all made. Well done with your new jewellery making skills and your sense of humour. It has been a pleasure. You are always welcome back for even more jewellery making. Thanks again. Jonathan"

Lorna reviewed: Silver jewellery class for beginners

"I had an excellent day, from beginning to end, learning new skills which I was able to apply to a finished product. Having a small group enabled Jonathan to give individual support whilst being very encouraging. He was a great tutor and made the day very interesting. "

Salt Way Silver responded:

"Thank you Lorna! It was a pleasure to meet you, and to help you create your own very unique pendant. Well done!"

Wendy reviewed: Silver jewellery class for beginners

"Thanks very much for your help in taking me from a nervous beginner to feeling able to attempt my own design for a pair of silver earrings in the afternoon. You may have helped banish the left over fears from metalwork lessons at school. Never thought I’d be filing, soldering and polishing! Despite coming on my own and joining three other ladies for the class the small individualised setting makes it a nice learning environment. The day zoomed by as you get so engrossed in what you’re doing and learning. I’m quite proud of my creations even if they aren’t quite perfect! "

Salt Way Silver responded:

"Thank you, Wendy for your very kind words. It was a pleasure to meet you and help you develop your skills. I hope you are getting plenty of admiring remarks about your hand made silver earrings and you are always welcome back. Well done! Jonathan"

Helen reviewed: Silver jewellery class for beginners

"I joined 3 other beginners having fun while learning a number of techniques including bending, cutting, shaping, adding patterns, soldering and polishing. Had a break with tea and cake in the morning and further refreshments in the afternoon with a BYO lunch in between. Jonathon was very instructive (and patient!). Very pleased with my copper keyring, necklace and silver ring. "

Salt Way Silver responded:

"Thank you Helen. It was a pleasure to meet you and help you with your silver jewellery making. I'm very pleased that you enjoyed the company and the class. Well done with your ring making! Jonathan"
