Rakhee Jones reviewed: Silver Clay Jewellery - Beginner - 3 Hours - One to One

"I had an amazing evening playing with silver, soaking up inspiration from the warm and welcoming studio. Rachel was brilliant, put me at ease straight away and before I knew it I had created 2 necklaces using different techniques as well as picking up some truly amazing hacks in order for me to play at home without the expense of specialist equipment. I honestly cannot wait to go back and learn more from Rachel. I think next time I'll share the experience with a friend or few (so I can go several times). Thank you Rachel, gor the tea and your time."

Gifted Crafts Company responded:

"Thank you so much Rakhee. You are such a star. It was like meeting a kindred spirit! Take care. All the very best. Rach"

Sandra Thomas reviewed: Sketchbooking for artists, journals, keep sake books, coursework - 1 Day - One to One

"After attending the one day course, 'Sketch-booking for New Artists, Journals, Keep Sake Books and Coursework' I have no hesitation in recommending Rachel and any of the courses she offers. Prior to my visit I let her know exactly what I was trying to achieve in my own art book; areas I was finding difficult and techniques I'd like to experiment with. On my arrival everything had been well prepared in advance and things we would need carefully laid out. I found Rachel extremely knowledgable and a great teacher. Nothing was too much trouble, anything I asked for appeared and I felt totally indulged and spoilt. The day was fun, I learned loads and thoroughly enjoyed my day in the studio. Best wishes Sandra"

Gifted Crafts Company responded:

"Wow. Such kind words. Thank you Sandra. So lovely to work with you. Well done on developing great techniques and styles. Rach"

Laura reviewed: Silver Clay Jewellery - Beginner - 3 Hours - One to One

"The venue is a lovely small campsite not far from Shrewsbury and was easy to find following the directions that were provided. Upon arrival there was a personalised welcome board signposting us where to park and to the studio. Rachel was very welcoming and patient with us throughout the session. We were able to use our own creativity and Rachel assisted us to make our ideas a reality. All the materials and advice we could need were provided (as well as tea coffee and biscuits) and we were both really surprised at the quality of the pieces we were able to produce. We thoroughly enjoyed the session and would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Rachel :-)"

Peter Dent reviewed: Silver Clay Jewellery - Beginner - 3 Hours - One to One

"Amazing After a scenic drive into Shropshire we were welcomed at Gifted Crafts. There was a blackboard welcoming us and informing us where to park; a lovely touch. Following a nice cup of coffee, we discussed our designs with Rachel and she showed us the techniques. We had our own work stations and equipment and felt Covid secure. Rachel was an excellent instructor sharing her expertise and knowledge to help us create our designs. She was patient, enthusiastic and supportive and we felt very proud of what we were able to produce in the workshop. It exceeded our expectations and we hope to return in the near future. Thank you Rachel."

Gifted Crafts Company responded:

"You are so kind. Thank you Peter. And I was so impressed with your ideas. Look forward to seeing you again. All the very best. Rach"
