Carly Lawrence reviewed: Silver Clay Jewellery - Beginner - 3 Hours - One to One

"This course was absolutely fantastic - I'm so amazed with the beautiful items I came home with. Who knew clay would turn into silver?! Even now, I still can't believe I made them! They get so many comments! Nothing was too much trouble for Rachel in terms of extra supplies or guidance on what to do/how. We tried so many different techniques over the course of the day and I'm so glad I decided to stay over at the campsite in one of the bell tents. I will DEFINITELY be booking on her other courses as soon as I can."

Gifted Crafts Company responded:

"Thank you so much Carly. And well done for your beautiful pieces. Looking forward to seeing you again."

Carly Lawrence reviewed: Pewter Casting - Beginner - 3 Hours - One to One

"The course was fantastic - I came home with some beautiful pieces. I'm not sure if I can bear to give them away as Christmas gifts though, which was my intention! Everything was laid out so simply and Rachel's instructions/guidance were superb all throughout. We tried so many different techniques - I actually can't believe the items I made. Homemade bread and shortbread for lunch topped the day off perfectly! I will absolutely be doing some of her other courses soon."

Gifted Crafts Company responded:

"A huge well done and thank you. Your pieces were definitely too lovely to give away!"

Claire Carley reviewed: Enamel Jewellery - Beginner - 3 Hours - One to One

"Such a great morning with Rachel learning how to enamel. Every stage was well demonstrated and Rachel was on hand to offer help and advice throughout. I am thrilled with what I managed to produce in 3 hours (which flew by!) Will definitely be trying some other avtivities in the future, thank you Rachel. A brief mention of the dreaded Covid19...we both wore masks, the window was open and we maintained social distance, it felt a very safe activity, well managed."

Gifted Crafts Company responded:

"Thank you so much Claire. It was a really lovely morning. Thank you! And your enamel pieces were so beautiful. Well done. Look forward to seeing you again soon!"

"The enamelling course with Rach was absolutely brilliant. The workshop is in a beautiful setting. She is a great instructor, clearly very knowledgeable but explained the steps simply. She gave us plenty of freedom to choose what we would like to do and was always on hand to answer questions. A really friendly and relaxed approach which made for a wonderful morning. I couldn't recommend enough."

Alistair Hindmarsh reviewed: Pewter Casting - Beginner - 3 Hours - One to One

"The course was the most fun I've had in years. Right from the start Rachel had me pouring pewter into moulds, it was the full-day course so we had time to have a go at loads of techniques and ways of casting. Everything was explained fully and you were hands-on most of the time. The lunch was superb, constant tea as it says in the introduction but best of all lots and lots of time to spend making, for instance you cast a pendant then you drill a hole in it, then make a ring for it and select a chain to hang it from. I'm starting to make my own casts now and it's great."

Gifted Crafts Company responded:

"You did so well with your pewter Al. Can’t wait to see what you do at home. Thanks so much. Rach"
