Jill reviewed: Sterling Silver Stacker Ring Workshop

"Having received vouchers as a gift I decided to have a go at making stacker rings in silver. It was my best decision ever. Ian is very knowledgeable and is able to share it without blowing your mind. Patiently showing every step and letting me do as much as i wanted. I successfully made my 3 rings and couldn't be happier with them. If I lived nearer I think I would go regularly. I mustn't forget Jade who made the most amazing fresh cakes and provided drinks all through the session. A truly lovely couple who clearly are passionate about what they do. I highly recommend their courses. "

Andrea Wells-China reviewed: Art clay silver

"had a really wonderful morning at the silver clay course run by Jade at her home and fantastic hospitality from both Jade and her husband Ian. Working with silver clay was such fun and to go home with silver earrings and pendant made by me was a total bonus. I would recommend this course and will be going back to attend another one of their courses soon."

"Jade and Ian were very friendly and knowledgable about their subjects. We weren't rushed and both answered questions that I had and showed us all how to do it step by step. Fantastic course giving lots of inspiration. Will definitely do more. Thank you "

"Another great morning, my second visit. Really good fun, adding some of last years' beads made to those made yesterday means I have enough for a unique necklace! Many thanks!"

Mary Nourish reviewed: Traditional Jewellery Making Workshop

"An excellent course making a beautiful silver ring taught by a true craftsman. Starting with unpolished silver, Ian guided and assisted through the whole process with thoughtful explanations and gentle interventions to the end product. Jade and Ian were warm and welcoming and made the whole day a truly joyful experience."

Goldwrightsjewelleryschool responded:

"Thank you Mary, it was lovely to meet you and see what you created in the day such a beautiful ring :) "

"What a brilliant afternoon we had! Jade has a very relaxed teaching style and the workshop is very relaxed which all meant that I was relaxed and I really enjoyed making something that looked like it was meant to!😀 Both Jade and Ian were so welcoming and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Stop thinking about it - just do it!, you’re gonna love it! "

Nicky reviewed: Lamp glass bead making

"Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon. Neither of us had done lamp glass bead making so it really was learning something new. Jade is so patient and guided us through techniques to make an array of beautiful beads. I even managed to develop my own Mr Whippy technique, which added to the unique design. We left with some gorgeous beads, for keyrings, necklaces, and sea 🌊 pendant. Thank you to Ian, you are a great team and we will be back."

Goldwrightsjewelleryschool responded:

"It was such a lovely afternoon and the Mr Whippy technique worked out very well :) Thank you for coming xx"

Laura allan reviewed: Lamp glass bead making

"Great fun! Would highly recommend. As only 2 in the class you get lots of attention from the tutor. The bead making process is mesmerising and some what addictive. Tried lots of different techniques. Made several glass beads and came away lots of necklaces, a bracelet and a pair of earrings. I will definitely be coming back for another go!"

Carl reviewed: Traditional Jewellery Making Workshop

"What a great and interesting day. Relaxed welcome from Ian, Jade and the friendly hounds and cat (Jade kindly fed and watered me through the day also). I duly presented my ambitious plan to create a ‘dragonfly’ based pendant, as a surprise thank you to my wife for gifting me the course in the first place. With Ian’s scrutiny complete I was fully expecting a ‘don’t be silly’ response if I’m honest. However, Ian took on the challenge and patiently guided me on the best approach and techniques expertly, suppressing any sign of concern that I’d possibly bitten off more than I could chew. Also not criticising as I snapped a (luckily) never ending supply of his piercing saw blades whilst creating the ‘wings’ of the dragonfly…I swear I would just look at the blade and they would snap!…always followed by an expletive and a ‘sorry I’ve broken another one’ comment from me. Ian was happy to teach and educate me on techniques, materials, processes and just input his expert knowledge, yet without taking over the manufacturer of the piece. So I still kept ownership of the creation (he really has unlimited patience) yet helped me out with some finessing when I needed a skill set to progress the design, that I didn’t have, to ensure completion. At the end of the day I left with new knowledge and skills as well as a beautiful silver dragonfly pendant that I felt proud to have designed and created. Thanks for a great day, highly recommended regardless of your jewellery expertise."

Goldwrightsjewelleryschool responded:

"Carl you really worked hard and made an amazing dragonfly I’m very jealous! Beautiful design and a lovely gift for your wife. You will both have to come and learn art silver clay no saw blades involved 😂 Xx"

Ellen reviewed: Sterling Silver Stacker Ring Workshop

"Bought course as gift and three of us attend on Saturday afternoon, 16.3.24. Ian & Jade are welcoming and knowledgeable, with patience galore. Learnt lots, had lots of fun and came away with 3 unique rings. Would thoroughly recommend."

Goldwrightsjewelleryschool responded:

Patricia Harris reviewed: Art clay silver

"Really enjoyed our course, Jade's instruction was informative but relaxed and we left with jewellery we could actually wear straight away. Provided with the materials, molds, patterns plates and all the tools, loops, chains and hooks we could need to walk away with real silver jewellery that looked very professional (if we do say so ourselves!). Nothing was too much hassle, we weren't rushed, and were allowed to finish our pieces to a really high standard with some extra help from Ian. We are already planning another course with Jade and Ian. "

Goldwrightsjewelleryschool responded:

" A great morning and so nice to meet you all. Such different jewellery made by you all. Personal and beautiful 🤩 "

"We had the best day! Went with a friend and together we made earrings and a pendant. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and excellent tutoring. The only questions are when do we go back and what will we make next!! Have no hesitation in doing this workshop!!!"

Goldwrightsjewelleryschool responded:

"Thank for a lovely review it was such a great morning. You made such lovely jewellery. Kind regards Jade "

Frances reviewed: Lamp glass bead making

"Fantastic half-day workshop learning how to make glass beads. Jade is a lovely teacher, she explained and demonstrated the techniques clearly. I really enjoyed learning the basic technique and then trying various embellishments (using frit, bubbles, swirls). Amazed how many techniques I got to try in the session and delighted with my beads 😊 Totally recommend!"

Goldwrightsjewelleryschool responded:

"You both made such lovely beads, it was a lovely morning. I loved the bubbles :) Thank you for choosing Goldwrightsjewelleryschool xxx "
