"A brilliant experience making copper and silver rings. Viv explained each stage clearly and coached us through the processes. I came out with some beautiful rings as well as a new found knowledge of the processes involved in metalwork. I really recommend this workshop!"

Sarah Churchill reviewed: Rings and Things - Soldering for beginners at Simply Amazing Jewellery School

"We were given very good concise instructions for making copper and silver rings, and were able to do each process ourselves with gentle coaching. An experienced and skilled tutor, Vivien made an excellent job of giving us new skills."

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"Thank you Sarah, for this lovely review, the very sweet peas (still blooming!) and for coming to the workshop! Even with all the safety regulations to follow we were still able to enjoy a very creative day - amazing work and beautiful rings - x"

Charlotte reviewed: Rings and Things - Soldering for beginners at Simply Amazing Jewellery School

"Great workshop! We learned a lot and Viv was very patient! Came out with 5 lovely rings that I haven't taken off since. The only things I might suggest is a proper break for lunch. We were happy we went out for 30 minutes but felt as though we had missed out on some parts as no one else stopped for lunch. One of the other attendees mentioned by the end that she was very hungry and needed some proper food. I also think that a slightly smaller class size would work better as it was quite difficult for Viv to get around everybody, and of course, some people needed more attention than others. Overall though, a fun and informative class - Viv explained the science very well! Would definitely attend another one of her classes given the chance. Thanks for everything! Charlotte"

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"Thank you for this lovely and thoughtful review, my system works well most of the time but not all of the time, I am sorry you worried you missed something, I always do a quick head count so I don't have to repeat instructions but like you say, there were lots of things happening - a very creative and diverse group! I was very happy to give you extra help, but the group objective was met - it's when everyone goes solo on their own designs that the fun starts - a great challenge!"

Sue reviewed: Rings and Things - Soldering for beginners at Simply Amazing Jewellery School

"I have attended one of Viv's workshops before and went again with another friend who fancied it, because I loved it so much (and I wear the silver rings I made virtually every day!!) I made 2 rings for my little finger this time and suspect I will wear one or the other every day in future because again I was so delighted!! Viv encourages everyone to be creative and is so incredibly patient and informative. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who has not had a go before."

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"Hi Sue, thank you for this lovely review! I am so pleased you returned to develop your skills further and that you enjoyed the day so much. I love the hammered rings you made and hope you find them as fascinating as I do, as you wear them in and all your hard work rewards you x"

Helen reviewed: Rings and Things - Soldering for beginners at Simply Amazing Jewellery School

"I booked this workshop for me and my friends for my birthday. None of us had made jewellery before. It was so much fun and we all got to be really creative with our time. Viv was wonderful, really helpful and patient during the day and helped all of us make what we wanted. She responded quickly to all of my enquires and gave lots of information before we attended. We spent the entire time working and forgot about lunch. I enjoyed this workshop and would definitely recommend it."

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"I am so pleased you enjoyed your day - there was some wonderful energy and the creativity was amazing, your Russian Style rings are fabulous! I really enjoyed sharing your birthday thank you - it was an absolute pleasure to work with such lovely people."

Sarah reviewed: Rings and Things - Soldering for beginners at Simply Amazing Jewellery School

"First time I’ve done a jewellery workshop. Great combination of learning all the important skills but still being able to create our own rings, bringing our own ideas. Great day, would definitely recommend this workshop. I’ll probably do the course again as well!"

Simply Amazing Jewellery School responded:

"That's wonderful news, thank you Sarah - I am so pleased you enjoyed your workshop, I was amazed by the work the group produced, you were brilliant!"
