FAQ

What is your cancellation policy?
We try our very best never to cancel a class, but sometimes it is not in our control due to tutor illness or insufficient student bookings. If we have to make the difficult decision to cancel a class due to insufficient bookings or tutor illness, we will contact you within 24 hours of your scheduled class to inform you. We will offer you a range of alternative dates for the session to run and for you to attend or the option to switch to any other course of your choice. This is a very rare occurrence and we will work hard to make sure we find an alternative that suits your schedule. If we can not find a date which suits your schedule, you will be offered a refund minus card fees. We are flexible and work hard to find you alternatives should this ever occur. We are not responsible for any accommodation or travel fees. If you decide to cancel your booked course we are unable to refund you. Please check your dates thoroughly before booking. If you can’t attend you are welcome to transfer your space to a friend or family member if they would like to take your space. We can list the space on the website and if another student books your space, we can transfer you to an alternative course, however it is not our responsibility to find a replacement for your booking.

Workshop 925 launched in January 2019 and is based at The Mayford Centre, which is nestled between Guildford and Woking in Surrey.
The workshop was launched by Kirsten Hendrich after several years teaching within adult education facilities, alongside running her own jewellery brand, Kirsten Hendrich Jewellery.
Kirsten often felt frustrated at large class sizes, the lack of specialist equipment, and solid workbenches to allow students to really blossom. So, she began her vision, which was to create the perfect learning environment for jewellers of all levels to come and learn new skills using professional equipment, providing the best chance possible for students to learn the technical and business skills of the trade within small class sizes, enabling plenty of one-to-one tutor support to aid effective learning.
Workshop 925 is also home to an amazing team of tutors who share Kirsten’s passion for jewellery making, craft, and all things handmade. Together they bring you their knowledge, tips, and enthusiasm for the industry in the classes they teach and in the workshop environment.

We understand everyone has different aims and goals; some may come along with an aspiration to develop a jewellery-based business, while others come along to learn a new hobby, escape, and delve into a creative space.
We allow you to explore all areas of jewellery making, from stone setting, press forming, enamelling, fold forming, keum boo, reticulation, granulation, polishing, piercing, soldering, stringing, etching, to there is a lot to learn!
We understand that each and every student who comes through our doors is different, and we will work hard to help you develop following your unique path.
We are self-confessed tool addicts; therefore, you can expect to find a wide range of tools to use for your projects to help you explore new techniques. We never stop developing our workshop to make it the best it could possibly be.
Most of all, you can expect to find a team of bright, happy, enthusiastic tutors there to help you discover jewellery making in an environment that is relaxed, fun, and encouraging, with a shared determination to help you each succeed.
