Mary reviewed: Young Teen with Adult, Silver Jewellery Special - what will YOU make?

"My teenage granddaughter and myself did this course on her INSET day from school. We were the only 2 and ascduch got really good tuition and help from Vivien. We both completed our silver jewellery in the afternoon. The morning we spent working with copper/bronze to practice the techniques. It was very enjoyable, and relaxed. Our 'creations' have been greatly admired. A lovely memory making day! "

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"Yaaayyyy - I am so pleased you enjoyed the day, you were both lovely to work with, your stories and skills did you proud and your granddaughter clearly has a great and creative future ahead of her 😁 Thank you for your lovely review, it means such a lot 😊 "

Angela reviewed: New!! - Silversmith Creative Workshop - What will you make?

"I spent a lovely Saturday making jewellery with Viv and a fellow student. I made one copper and one silver bangle. I was new to working with metals and Viv was brilliant at demonstrating the skills and techniques needed to enable me to make beautiful finished unique items that I can be proud of. Had a wonderful day in a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who fancies trying something new. I will be booking another workshop soon."

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"Thank you Angela, You were so good, so practical and really interesting company, but best of all, a great sense of humour which had us all laughing out loud! I love that you want to come back for more and in the meantime, I hope you have lots of fun showing off your work 😊"

Lucy reviewed: New!! - Silversmith Creative Workshop - What will you make?

"My friend and I took part in a creative workshop. It was fantastic, Viv was an excellent teacher and guided us through everything we needed to create a piece of jewellery. It was a really friendly and relaxed atmosphere which made the whole day really enjoyable and we both came away with pieces of jewellery that we love."

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"Thank you so much for this lovely review, Lucy. I loved working with you both, you brought excellent problem solving skills to the table! Your designs were simple which meant you had to work to a high standard plus some of the techniques were quite advanced!!! Well done to both of you 😁 🍏🍎🍏🍺"

Claire P reviewed: Young Teen with Adult, Silver Jewellery Special - what will YOU make?

"Amazing course with a true expert! My daughter and I were the only students and Viv gave us so much of her time and expertise, ensuring that the ideas we had sent her prior to the day could be fulfilled...and more!"

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"Thank you Claire! I am so pleased you and your daughter came to the workshop, she was absolutely a star with her ideas and ability to solve problems and for making decisions! She completely nailed the wire wrapping and made the sweetest necklace ☺️ You were both happy to ask for help and explanations, you tackled some hard work on that bronze bangle and I would love to see your sea-glass pendant once it is on a chain. Well done to both of you 😁"
