Maker's bio

Where it all began … I first learnt to crochet as a child and spent hours and hours making, sewing, knitting and learning every new technique possible in art, craft and design. After a degree in Graphics and with 16 years experience teaching Textiles, Graphics, Art & Design and Design & Technology I strongly believe in developing my own practice to be the best tutor I can be. I am continually inspired by my students of all ages so it's definitely a 2 way street!

Wendy reviewed: Enamel Jewellery Workshop - 1 Day - One to One

"I had a great day on this course with Rachel. I had some experience in enamelling but wanted to enhance my learning further. Rachel tailored the day to me ensuring that I learnt some new skills and answered my many questions. I had the opportunity to do some silver clay along with enamelling. I picked up loads of tips from Rachel’s workshop too on set up, how to pick up alternative tools more economically and on using recycled copper. Rachel’s teaching experience really showed giving clear demonstrations of techniques and good support when practicing those techniques. I came away enthused to practice new techniques at home. Thank you Rachel. "

Gifted Crafts Company responded:

"Thank you so much Wendy. So kind of you to take the time to write such a lovely review. All your comments mean so much and I really appreciate it. You did amazingly developing your skills and picked up the techniques so easily. Huge well done. Thanks again. All the best. Rach "

Deb Kitchenham reviewed: Silver Bangle with Personalised Silver Charm Workshop with Mel & Rachel

"Absolutely fantastic day learning how to make silver charms from silver clay with Rachel and then forming a beautiful bangle on which to display charms with Mel. Rachel and Mel were so warm and friendly guiding me patiently through the processes. It was a very welcome 6 hours of switching off from the real world with copious tea, coffee and treats. Thank you so much Rachel and Mel. I will be recommending your course to all and sundry and I will definitely return next year now my appetite has been wetted for jewellery making. Xxx"

Gifted Crafts Company responded:

"Thank you so much Deb. It was an absolute pleasure. We both had a wonderful day. So lovely to meet you. And you made gorgeous silver and copper pieces. Huge well done. Really looking forward to seeing you again. All the very very best. Rach xxxx"
