Tee Stevenson reviewed: Beginners Ring Wax Carving Workshop

"I was gifted this workshop by my husband and it did not disappoint! On arrival Emily made me feel very welcome and showed me around the Colour Factory. It was wonderful to see and understand the Colour Factory set up. Emily's style of teaching is laid back yet very informative and explanatory. She is truly passionate about her craft. I really felt at ease in her company. I've done various creative courses and this was one of the most enjoyable 1 to 1 workshops I have attended. Emily makes you feel relaxed enough to really enjoy the process and I loved using the simple tools to create a wax ring. I'm so pleased with what I have made so far and can't wait to see the finished ring. I'd fully recommend Emily's wax ring workshop."

The Metalsmith responded:

"Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so pleased that you had such a wonderful time, and that my love of the craft was reflected in the workshop! Can't wait to see your finished ring! It's going to look great!"

Sharon reviewed: Introduction to Ethical Jewellery

"This course was so interesting! A bit of a journey going through the good, the bad and the ugly of gold and precious stone mining (luckily ending with positive and uplifting good stories!). The rest of the day was spent recycling our own unused jewellery into something new and beautiful. So pleased with the earrings that I made! Emily is a great teacher - knowledgeable, passionate and patient!"

The Metalsmith responded:

"Thank you so much for the lovely review! What a wonderful day it was! Thank you for coming along; I'm so glad you had such a good time and that everyone came away with such beautiful pieces!"
