Sally-Ann reviewed: Silver jewellery making class for beginners

"My friend Jo and I had a wonderful day learning with Jonathan. The class was really well structured with lots of helpful techniques taught using copper wire and flat pieces shaped and decorated. We also learned to solder and made a set of 3 lovely nesting rings which made a great necklace. There were lots of ideas and possibilities for the silver piece in the afternoon and I am delighted with the long bar earrings I made for my daughter. I learned so much and had a lovely time. Thank you Jonathan!"

Salt Way Silver responded:

"Thank you Sally-Ann (and Jo). It was a good day to be in the cool studio when it was roasting outside. I hope your daughter enjoys the earrings and well done with your new jewellery making skills! Jonathan"

"We had a fantastic day at John's studio. We attended for my hen do and John was very welcoming and patient with us. We learnt a lot of really good skills on the day including working with copper to hone our skills and then making some beautiful silver jewellery. It was lovely to take away some jewellery to remember the hen do that we all shared together. Would 100% recommend a course with John, you will have a fantastic day and enjoy making your own beautiful jewellery."

"We absolutely loved this jewellery making class. My mum and sister surprised me with this as a pre-wedding present, to make some jewellery to wear the day after my wedding, and the earrings I made are perfect. Jonathan was great, really helpful, patient and helped us to make exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much, it is something I can keep to remember a special day."

Alex P reviewed: Silver jewellery making class for beginners

"Having never worked with any kind of precious materials before and going in with a very specific idea in mind i was slightly apprensive about how the days course might go. However after a few questions from Jonathan to guage my abilities, experince and what i was looking to get out of the days course. Jonathan seemed very confident it could all be achieved. We worked together to achieve the style of ring i wanted to make and what i got from the days course by the end was not only a working knowledge of how to make a silver ring but also the confidence to begin doing so at home on my own. Jonathan was generous with his time even going over the alotted time by about an hour. He was also patient and great at imparting his knowledge and experience. I would absolutley reccomend this course to anyone looking to start making and dealing with silver."

Salt Way Silver responded:

"Thank you Alex - it was a challenge for me too so I'm very pleased that we achieved your aims and I look forward to hearing how your jewellery plans work out. Jonathan "

"A wonderful day, learning lots of new skills. Best wishes. Celia"

Salt Way Silver responded:

"Thank you Celia, It was a good day and a wonderful experience to take your carefully planned ideas and turn them into reality. As you found out during the day - it's not always as easy as you think it is to make designs with tiny pieces, so hopefully now you will use your new skills to produce some of your own jewellery - and appreciate the work involved. Well done and thank you for choosing Salt Way Silver. Jonathan"

Susan Holmes reviewed: Silver jewellery making class for beginners

"If crafting is your thing, with or without any skill, then you will love learning to make jewellery with Jonathan. I attended this course with my big sister and best friend. My sister was enthusiastic but nervous when she saw the list of tools we’d be using and skills we would be taught. She needn’t have been. Jonathan is a calm and patient teacher and didn’t just make it look easy. He broke down each step so it was actually very easy to follow. We all made very different bangles but we were all absolutely delighted with our creations. There is something joyous about making something so when you can wear your creation too, there is nothing not to like."

Salt Way Silver responded:

"Thank you Susan, It was great to be able to help your group with their new jewellery making skills, so thank you for choosing Salt Way Silver! Jonathan"
