Sea & Solder reviews

Hester reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"I attended Jules's seaglass workshop with my partner. We had so much fun and both made pendants which we are really happy with and have been wearing with pride ever since. We used our own seaglass but Jules also had plenty available we could have chosen from. The day was really lovely and we enjoyed meeting everyone and spending the day in the workshop. Thank you so much!!!"

Sea & Solder responded:

"Thank you Hester. It was lovely to have you both in the workshop and help you both create such special pieces. All the best. Jules "

"This was a fantastic introduction to silversmithing! Jules is a really encouraging tutor with a passion for her craft. She has created a lovely workspace with everything we needed to create stunning pieces by the end of the day. The pace of the workshop was excellent - having a maximum of 4 participants means Jules is able to give participants plenty of attention and I never needed to wait more than a few minutes for support when I needed it. I would definitely recommend this workshop and Jules as a knowledgeable and encouraging tutor who will help you achieve something you will be really proud of."

"Thanks Jules for a wonderful and enjoyable workshop. Your patience and excellent instruction enabled me to create a pendant that I absolutely love. Class size was just right too at four. I highly recommend this class to anyone. Thank you and I look forward to coming to another one soon!"

Emma Crossman reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"I am delighted with the piece Jules enabled me to realise. I learnt a great deal through the experience. Jules helped at every stage, but did not interfere, advised when asked and ensured we had the appropriate level of supervision. The workbenches were exceptionally well equipped She helped me to achieve a high level of finish which I did not expect. Some patience is needed as her time is divided and you may not be able to work at your own pace. However, she worked above and beyond to ensure we all finished our pieces without any time pressure. Thank you Jules."

"There is no better feeling than being able to say ‘I made it myself’ and, having just finished my first 10 week course with Jules, I can’t wait for the next one to begin! The Sea and Solder workshop is a lovely working space and fully equipped with everything that’s needed. Jules is such a brilliant, calm and knowledgeable teacher and a wonderful communicator who guides you through all the processes. On the last course I made a really special statement ring with a polished pebble (which I had collected with my Mum when I was a child) and also a set of 3 seaglass rings using pieces of glass found on a family holiday in France. I was also thrilled to be able to repair a couple of pairs of earrings. I’ve now got a big list of projects I can’t wait to start next term! There is so much to learn in silversmithing, but in a small group on the 10 week course there is time to really get to grips with all the basics, and leave with all the beautiful things you have made yourself."

Sea & Solder responded:

"Carol its been fantastic having you on the course this term and seeing how much enjoyment and satisfaction you have had from each piece of jewellery you have made. Thank you for this lovely review and I look forward to seeing you again next term. Jules"

"Ive just finished my 10 week course with Jules and it was amazing something ive wanted to do for a long time. Jules is a wonderful knowledgable teacher who has helped me make some gorgeous jewellery! Ive signed up again for another course and hope to learn more from this very talented lady ?"

Sea & Solder responded:

"Thank you Nicola, you have made some incredible pieces this term and I can't wait to see what other lovely pieces you design and create next term. Thank you for signing up again for next term."

Annie reviewed: Tuesday evening - Ten-week termly jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder

"I did a 10 week course recently and it was fantastic. I really appreciated the small group as there was scope to get all the tutoring and advice I needed to do my pieces. The workshop is well equipped and a nice environment to work in. Tea and cakes/biscuits were supplied! In the time, I managed to make a ring set with my own glass plus three bangles held together with three rings and three discs dangling from it (a design I wanted to make to represent my three children). Jules is a calm and diligent teacher. She was great with me as a complete novice, but also with others who had done silversmithing before. I would highly recommend the course and I’ve already booked again."

Sea & Solder responded:

"Thank you Annie, it's been wonderful teaching you and seeing you enjoy your journey into silversmithing. Your work is lovely and I'm looking forward to seeing what you make next term. Thank you for joining us again."

Amber reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"Jules workshop was fabulous! I absolutely love the ring I made. She was very helpful and patient, taking time to show us how it is done and then helping us make our own creations. I would recommend this to anyone who would enjoy creating their very own, one off, piece of jewellery."

Sea & Solder responded:

"Thank you Amber. It was lovely to meet you and see how much you enjoyed your day with us. Your ring is just wonderful."

Julie reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"I attended a seaglass jewellery workshop with Jules and came away with the most beautiful ring. Jules taught us step by step throughout the day, provided plenty of tea and a lovely environment. The workshop is wonderful with lots of tools and everything we needed for the day. Ive since booked onto one of her stacking ring workshops so I can add to my seaglass ring, I cant wait! J"

Sea & Solder responded:

"Hi Julie, it was lovely to have you in the workshop and help you make your truly wonderful ring. I am looking forward to seeing you again soon to help you make your stacking rings."

"Such a great day. Fascinating learning all the tips and techniques. Jules made us feel right at home, supportive and generous with her time. A very relaxing session, great for well-being. Wearing my finished ring with pride!"

Judy reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"Super day and learned a huge amount. Jules was patient and informative. I loved the seaglass and silver item I made attached to a bangle. There were only two of us so we had a lot of tuition. I will definitely try something similar in the future."

Sea & Solder responded:

"Thank you Judy. It was lovely to meet you and well done on making such a wonderful piece to add to your bangle."

Lydia reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"Jules is a brilliant teacher. Absolutely loved the stacking ring jewellery class. Jules made us feel very relaxed and the 3 hours went so quickly. Taking our rings away on the day was ace. I will definitely be coming back for more classes. Thank you :)"

Sea & Solder responded:

"Thank you Lydia. Jules"

Nancy Isabella McManus reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"Jules is one in a million! Having previously bought a one of a kind sterling silver Seaglass ring I was already in love with the work sea & solder was producing. Her customer service was 10/10, sufficiency, organisation, new equipment, extremely insightful and knowledge was flawless. I decided to book a session with my friend to do a stacking ring workshop for both our birthdays and it was the best present / activity we have both done in a long time. Our rings look beautiful, a well spent session we will definitely be booking on again and taking friends and family too! Thank you Jules so much"

Nicky reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"I had such a great day! I have no previous experience and do not consider myself particularly creative so was a bit unsure what to expect. Jules creates a relaxed environment where with her tuition, anything is possible! I really enjoyed learning how to make my cuff and am extremely proud that I made something so lovely. I am trying very hard to find another beautiful piece of sea glass so I have an excuse to come back and try creating something else."

Sea & Solder responded:

"Nicky your cuff was fantastic, well done and thank you for a lovely review. Best of luck with your future seaglass hunting."

Frankie reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"My partner bought me this experience for Christmas and I didn’t know how much I wanted to do it until I experienced it! Juels was lovely, very warming and easy going. I had never worked with silver before so I was slightly nervous but a relaxed environment, good coffee and an excellent teacher resulted in my first of many silver pieces. I had no idea what would come of the day and didn’t believe I could make a piece of wearable jewellery, but I now get endless comments on my bangle and it never comes off. Lots of laughter, a strong supply of oat milk and knowledge to last a lifetime, plus my beautiful handmade seaglass bangle. A huge thank you for sharing your skills ?"

Sea & Solder responded:

"Frankie it's great to hear your bangle hasn't come off and you have had lots of lovely comments. Well done on creating this lovely piece of jewellery. It was lovely to meet you and see you create such a unique piece on the day."

Kitty reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"I had such a lovely time with Jules! She was a great teacher and super patient and knowledgeable with all the questions. I am so obsessed with my sea glass ring, I didn’t bring my own piece of sea glass and Jules had tons for me to choose from. I receive compliments on my ring all the time and it’s so cool to be able to say I made it. I did another session to make some stacking rings that complete my sea glass ring. I’ll definitely be back for more, hoping to do one of the 10 week courses in the future."

Nicky reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"I had a lovely day making a sea glass ring with sea glass I had found from my local beach. Jules was a very patient and knowledgeable teacher - I had no idea how much work goes into making a ring! Her workshop is lovely and I absolutely love the ring that she guided me in making."

Vicky reviewed: Seaglass jewellery workshop at Sea & Solder, Dorset.

"I absolutely loved this workshop. I have personally made sea glass rings but wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly, Jules was so helpful, informative and happy to continue her advise after the course. We had 2 rings and 1 necklace pendant being made, where she was able to work within everyone's pace. There was a lovely environment and I am very envious of her cute little garden workshop. Completly covid safe. I have told friends and family that I highly recommend the course."

Sea & Solder responded:

"Thank you Vicky. It was lovely to have you in the workshop and see you create a beautiful piece of jewellery with the skills you already had. And thank you very much for the recommendations too."
