Sarah reviewed: Make Your Own Silver Bangle Workshop for Beginners

"Myself, colleague and clients spent a fabulous afternoon creating our own bespoke bangles. Sarah was an excellent tutor, providing us with the skills necessary to produce beautiful bracelets - with much laughter along the way. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and a great way to spend a few hours away from the office. Thank you so much for your time and enthusiasm."

Wye Creative responded:

"Sarah, thank you so much for your lovely review! It was a pleasure to teach you all, I hope you enjoy your bangles! All the best, Sarah"

Tiffany Rowlett reviewed: Whole Day Silver Jewellery Making Workshop Gloucestershire

"The most amazing day out for my colleagues and I. We turned up not knowing what to expect, and Sarah put us at ease immediately with her friendly manner and of course the wonderful Bramble! (dog!). None of us had ever made any silver jewellery before, and rather quickly we were making our own pieces. We all laughed, and relaxed, what an amazing way to destress! The lunch was delicious and all home made! We relaxed outside eating beautiful food in the gorgeous countryside. Thank you Sarah, we are all so incredibly excited and proud of the pieces we have all made! "

Clare Gavin reviewed: Make Your Own Silver Ring Jewellery Beginners Class

"I have recently completed my second silver ring making workshop with Sarah. This time it was in her beautiful new studio in Harts Barn, Longhope. Sarah is so knowledgeable and patient, she has a wonderful manner and it was so rewarding to see our rings take shape and all the processes they went through. It was incredibly good value and such a fabulous few hours with someone who knows their craft well and is able to impart their knowledge in an easy to follow way. Bramble, Sarah’s lovely dog joined in and we had freshly baked scones with jam and clotted cream all in an amazing setting with a tremendous view. I’ll definitely do another workshop and would highly recommend Wye Creative to everyone!"

"Sarah is an excellent teacher explaining each step and process. I totally loved this experience and having the opportunity to try stamp designs before actually imprinting my ring. Would definitely recommend this course to any beginner and will be going back for more classes. I love the ring I made and also the delicious scones and bramble the dog. Thank you. "

"An absolutely wonderful morning spent with Sarah in her new studio at Harts Barn. I bought this class as a gift for my friends 50th birthday with the added bonus that I got to go with her. Sarah was patient, encouraging and ensured that we left with a ring that we were proud to wear. Copious amounts of tea and coffee and the freshly baked scones were fantastic!!! Thank you Sarah, I hope to see you again for another fabulous class."

Wye Creative responded:

"Thank you so much Kerry. I'm glad that you both had a great time celebrating and got to take home a beautiful silver ring each! I look forward to seeing you both again."

"A lovely course. Teacher was very knowledgeable and nothing was too much. She answered all our questions and was very helpful every stage of the journey. I produced to my amazement a beautiful unique and stylish ring. Tea and scones were delicious. Wear warm clothing, was a bit chilly as a very cold day and in a church hall. Highly recommend "

Melanie reviewed: Make Your Own Silver Ring Jewellery Beginners Class

"It was a chilly day but Sarah and her dog made us very welcome. I was a complete beginner and not sure if I’d make anything I could wear. I think I need more inspiration for a design but we were able taken from the process, step by step. Some of the rings people made were amazing. Sarah definitely does her best to help you. "

Wye Creative responded:

"Hi Melanie, thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. I'm glad that we made you feel very welcome and that you were able to make a beautiful ring. I understand that being a complete beginner can be challenging, but you did a great job on each step to make it your own. I appreciate your feedback regarding more inspiration for designs, and I will make sure to provide more design ideas and inspiration for future workshops. All the best, Sarah"
