Rosie is a brilliant teacher. I really enjoyed my day and I really hope to book another course with Rosie. "

"Dear Jenny
I really enjoyed teaching you too. It was so great that you had an Idea for a ring ..and I happened to have the perfect stone in stock to match your earrings! In fact the whole day felt very serendipitous. Lovely that you put so much into your workshop and went with the flow of the process to make your Unique and beautiful piece.
You are welcome anytime, I look forward to teaching you again ( I do hope you were forgiven for being a bit later home than anticipated)
Kind Regards
Rosie 😄"
"An absolutely amazing workshop with Rosy. She is a brilliant teacher, so joyful and very patient. I learned so much in my time spent at Brightsmiths and will definitely be going back ."
"I had an individual one day course with Rosie. It was such a fantastic experience, way beyond the level I expected. Rosie went through every aspect of the work in detail, explaining the tools and processes required and patiently helping me along with the practical aspects. I can’t believe how much we covered, and how generous Rosie is with both her time and her resources. I can’t recommend the day with Rosie highly enough - I left feeling confident I could give some of the techniques a go on my own, which I would never have expected at the start of the day! "
