Hannah Bird reviewed: Silver jewellery class for beginners

"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 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 "

Celia reviewed: Silver jewellery class for beginners

"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"

Sonia reviewed: Silver jewellery class for beginners

Susan Holmes reviewed: Silver jewellery 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"

"I had this voucher as a gift back in 2019, and have finally used it! The day went a lot quicker than I expected, I learnt a lot of new techniques and made a lovely silver bangle for my daughter's birthday. Jonathan was very informative, patient and calm. Would recommend this course!"

Niki reviewed: Silver jewellery class for beginners

"An absolutely perfect Mother's Day present. The day was really nice with "warm up" makes and then the final make. Jonathan was excellent at explaining the steps and it was so lovely to come away with a "wearable" gem I had made. This reignited my enjoyment of metal work (last used in 1982 'O' level metalwork!). Great cake too!"

Salt Way Silver responded:

"Thank you Niki - you clearly have a a bit of a gift for working with metal and it was a treat to see you enjoying the day so much. I look forward to hearing more about your jewellery making achievements! Jonathan"
