Recent reviews of Metalwork Class: Embossed Letter and Bookmark

  • 5/5 from Gina Dimarco, attended Aug 2026: Really enjoyable class, Melanie was knowledgeable and explained things really well. Would absolutely recommend this class and will likely return at some point in the future.
  • 5/5 from Beverly Ashby, attended Jun 2026: I love to try different crafts. So the voucher from ClassBento for a metalwork workshop was the perfect birthday gift from my daughter. The Old Print Works was easy enough to find. Parking was a bit of an issue but we soon found a space not too far away. Melanie, our tutor was friendly, patient and helpful. We were taken through each stage slowly and assisted when necessary. All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day and we produced lovely initials placed in a small box frame and a beautiful bookmark.
  • 5/5 from Penny Colbourne, attended Nov 2025: Melanie was very attentive and I learned a lot about how to create effective designs on pewter. The experience was enjoyable and the items I made were excellent value. Would definitely book again now I know what can be made with pewter!
  • 5/5 from Simon Wilson, attended Apr 2025: What a lovely morning! Melanie was a great teacher with clear instructions, patience and encouragement. I am very happy with my finished embossed letter & bookmark and if I lived more locally, would certainly be back! This was a birthday present and the booking & information were good too. Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Ebony Wilson, attended Apr 2025: I really enjoyed my tutorial lesson today, it was relaxing the teacher was a lovely woman, I wasn't rushed doing my art work and I would go again! Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Charan Bhatti, attended Dec 2024: I booked the embossed letter and bookmark class for my daughter's birthday. We both thoroughly enjoyed all of it from start to finish. Melanie was brilliant and explained everything thoroughly. She was so accommodating with the dates and replied to my messages quickly. Thank you for making it interesting - we love our creations. ️
  • 4/5 from Susan Stewart, attended Oct 2024: The teacher was very good and explained the materials and how to use them with demo's. The venue was cold and after sitting for a few hours I became very cold. The materials were very good. Learnt different techniques in making items out of metal sheet. Class was good value for money. Loved learning a new technique. But the letdown was we were not offered a hot drink or the promised cake. Could have done with the drink as the venue was cold.
  • 5/5 from Hannah Bayliss, attended Apr 2024: I had a great time with Mel creating two beautiful pewter pieces, which you could personalise to your own taste. Mel was a fantastic teacher and was generous with her time and materials (great value). I’d recommend this class to anyone crafty who would like to try something a bit different!
