Booked this for a birthday, and it didn’t disappoint. Denna is an incredible teacher and the class is based in a gorgeous cafe.
The class was engaging and we got to walk away with our shiny new rings.

I booked this event to surprise my girlfriend on our trip to London. We celebrated our 1000 days together. Denna is an amazing teacher and person! It is unbelievable funny and every step in the course is well prepared. You can create your own masterpiece and experience the whole process. You do everything on your own and get the whole experience! Just great! I hope i get the chance to do this course again to inspire other people!

Had an absolutely wonderful experience!
My two friends and I decided to book this workshop a few days before we'd set out on our trip to London. It was a great decision!
The teacher was kind and energetic, kept us engaged and explained things well. The finished rings look wonderful and I've yet to take mine off longer than a night.
The venue was very cute aswell! The food and drinks were lovely, and came with a little workshop discount. The staff were all very kind and bubbly, (As were the other guests there!) and the place was easy enough to reach. Genuinely the mood was great!
Super recommend it, especially if you're here on a trip!
It's such a lovely memento to take home.

The silver ring class was a Xtmas gift from my daughters to me and my husband.
The teacher was great. Very welcoming, very nice, funny, dynamic and very clear.
The venue was a very cute little cafe, with very good food, with a bonus discount for work-shoppers.
The materials were appropriate and well explained.
I had a great experience!

We were celebrating my best friend (of 30 years) birthday and wanted to do something a bit different. We booked the textured silver ring making class as it would not only be a fun activity, but we could leave with a keepsake of the day.
It was a very chilled class, lots of time for chatting, coffees and carefully crafted silver rings. It was delightful, the class had a wide range of ages participating all of whom were there for all sorts of lovely reasons.
The rings we made were really special and the instructor took care to make sure we were comfortable with the practical side of every step. Good location for the class, a very comfortable and relaxed storage to work and chat in.
Thank you for a really glorious afternoon - the photo is from our after dinner drinks later in the evening!

Amazing - did this with my friend and we had such a good time chatting to Denna and learning about the ring making process and materials. The rings we made were super cool and very professional! Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed the class. The cafe environment was so cute had a nice coffee and slice of cake as I made my ring. It was nice Saturday afternoon activity. Left with a real silver ring with hammered texture.
Everything was provided and Denna was lovely. Would recommend!
Abigail Williams • Mar 2024
Lovely experience and our teacher was amazing and patient. The venue was cute and had good food, and I learnt a lot about ring making. Would recommend to anyone to try.
Remy Bruin-Lobley • Mar 2024
This class was absolutely fantastic! We went for a hen party, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. Denna made the experience so much fun and we learnt so much about making silver jewellery and we had everything we needed to make the most perfect rings. She guided us all through the class and made everyone feel so comfortable. The size of the class was perfect and it was great meeting and talking to the other people who attended. The venue was a perfect location. Everyone left the class beaming with joy! Would 100% go back. Thank you for making our special occasion so so lovely.

Wayne • Feb 2024
What a lovely morning I had learning a new skill under the watchful eye of Denna. House of Denna is a beautiful little venue which had a great community atmosphere. (I will definitely be stopping by for a coffee!) I am so chuffed with my ring - as a self admitted pretty hopeless at manual stuff sorta guy, I Found this to be a great lesson in silver work, but also confidence boosting for me too! I would highly recommend this session and the best part is that you get to keep your work at the end of it too. What more could you ask for? Excellent value for money and excellent tutor - full of personality and took time to get to know a little about us all.
Maryam • Feb 2024
Went for a birthday celebration. Had lots of fun! The class is well structured and we learnt a lot about ring making and all the tools that are used.
The teacher is very energetic and funny and will help you out every step of the way.
Rhiannon • Feb 2024
Had a fabulous time making my own ring! Denna was a great teacher; very patient, funny and knowledgeable. Really recommend attending this class.
Amarah • Feb 2024
I came here on a date with my boyfriend as a valentines gift. Denna was lovely and funny and it made it really easy to make rings and it was a lot of fun too! The venue was not difficult to find and I learnt a lot. The rings were beautiful :D
Ksenia Lysenko • Feb 2024
We really celebrated St Valentines by attending this workshop. Denna was very attentive and funny, she’s an inborn teacher.
She showed us every step of the ring-making, which was very interesting to learn.
Both my husband and I left the workshop being very happy with our new rings ️
Thanks a lot, Denna!
Yeni • Feb 2024
An early Valentine’s Day activity and a lovely one indeed! Denna was supportive and encouraging, especially for us novices. With the intimacy of House of Denna along with the welcoming, homely vibe- I’ll definitely be back! Considering we started off with a bit of metal and left wearing a shiny new piece of jewellery (and some learning)- definitely good value for money.
Would highly recommend!
Noémie Licini • Feb 2024
For my best friend’s birthday we went to make a beautiful silver ring at Denna’s cafe and we had the most wonderful experience. She was very attentive, a great teacher and we learned loads - not to mention got a beautiful ring out of it! I’m thinking of going back already :)
Jess Xiao • Feb 2024
Denna was absolutely incredible! We had so much fun and made the most gorgeous silver rings in the end. Would definitely recommend :)

Gintare Kiseliene • Jan 2024
We came to make our wedding rings.
The teacher was very welcoming, friendly and the class was in the most adorable coffee shop (I recommend to get the coffee and the hot chocolate, they were so good).
The class helped us to understand what is needed to make a ring, how to use the tools. We were guided true out the process.
We are very happy with the finished rings, perfectly spend day
Yu Hsin Tsai • Jan 2024
Denna is so great to explain in detail and has passion for teaching. We love the rings
Jaden • Jan 2024
This class was so good! Denna is an amazing teacher and ran the class in a way that was perfect for a range of age groups. You get to be hands on with the whole process and leave the class with a piece of your own. I had no jewellery making experience before this and had such a good time and love the ring I made. The cafe it's held in is a lovely cosy space. Highly recommend! x
Amber Chowdhury • Jan 2024
She was such a lovely woman and it was really really fun it’s in this small cafe but it’s perfect for basics on how to make jewellery
Ava Cordero • Jan 2024
Denna was such an incredible teacher! As someone who's never made my own jewellery, I found the instructions very easy to follow and Denna was always able to answer questions and check our rings to make sure we were completing the steps correctly. Absolutely loved the venue as well - and adorable (dog friendly!) cafe with great drinks and a good vibe. Would definitely recommend
Anonymised ClassBento student • Jan 2024

Teacher was patient and friendly. I had fun making a ring. Would highly recommend this class to beginners
Caitlin • Dec 2023
This was one of the most enjoyable things I had done in a long time! I had purchased a class for my sister and I and it was a great decision. Not only is it an experience (which I would argue are the best gifts) but you get a gorgeous unique ring to take away.
Denna is a kind, patient and funny teacher! She is amazing at making the class feel accessible AND fun. The silver and tools also all felt good quality.
The venue is gorgeous! It’s in a cafe which is comfortable and feels like a real community space.
Denna runs lots of things at the venue and I am keen to find out what else I could get involved in.
Yuliia Dzekunova • Dec 2023
It my first experience to making ring. It was very easy to make, teacher explained all properly.
Anonymised ClassBento student • Dec 2023
Great experience! Denna was lovely, remembered everyone’s names and gave lots of individual attention every step of the way even though we had a full class of 10. The class is held in her cafe - cosy venue with great coffee!

The ring making workshop was absolutely amazing! I booked it for my girlfriend and I's anniversary and I couldn't have picked a better experience for us, it was a lot of fun and I loved getting to try something new in such a positive environment. And the rings came out beautiful! Denna was lovely and immediately made us feel right at home, and her café had a very friendly and safe energy. I would love to book more workshops and crafty sessions from her! :)

Really great workshop, teacher knowledgable and fun, love that we can take our rings home with us on the day
Ann Dean • Aug 2023
This was a fantastic morning. The teacher took time to get to know us and our names making it a personal experience.
The venue was good, in a coffee shop, but difficult to find. It's the House of Denna on Google maps by the Ubber Clipper pier.
Lost of material silver strip and all the tools and equipment needed to make the ring.
This was good value for money friendly personable and just enough instruction.
I learnt a lot how to use the tools and physical make a silver ring to wear.
Most of all I liked to instructor. Very frenly put everyone at ease and was supportive and guiding. All was just right. Thanks so much as this was a special occasion for me my Niece and the other participants.

The experience was great! The teacher really nice, very talented and clear. We were all beginners but we understood immediately all her instructions and were able to make our rings using tools (all provided by her) that we had never seen before with no problems at all. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed. I definitely recommend it!
Rebecca Duncan • Aug 2023
Could not rate this class higher! The teacher was attentive to everyone in our group of around 8 and helped us all go away with a ring we were proud of. I came to make an engagement ring to propose to my partner and they were very kind and helpful, even showing me how to shine the ring. Thanks so much!
Amanda Fahrni • Jul 2023

My sister and I had such a fun evening at this class. Denna was warm, friendly and funny from the beginning of the session and very patient and encouraging throughout the class. The venue was a nice, bright cafe and there was the added bonus of her super cute and friendly dog, Digby!
All tools were explained thoroughly and she spent time making sure we knew how to use everything before getting started. She was really keen to encourage us to pick ring making up as a hobby and kept giving us tips on where to go and what to buy if we wanted to!
We were so pleased with how our rings turned out. Would highly recommend taking a class with Denna!
Karina Chan • Jul 2023

We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed this work shop. Dennis was a really good instructor, gave clear instructions and was super helpful from the off by texting detailed instructions on how to find her. There were 4 of us, we all made distinctly different rings using the same equipment. I would recommend this class.
Mia Williams • Jun 2023
We thoroughly enjoyed our workshop with House of Denna. Super informative and fun, plus we now have beautiful rings. We would love to come back for more! Strongly recommend giving the class a go.

Vel Matthews • Apr 2023
Denna was an amazing teacher- warm, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. We learned so much about the process and she supported us well but still allowed us to get on with it at our own pace which was fab.
We were provided with all we needed and Denna made it extra special for us as it was a birthday booking which was lovely!
The experience was excellent value for money and we love our rings- highly recommend this class for all. You'll learn lots and make a gorgeous ring. Win win!
Thanks Denna!

Denna and Tom were very welcoming and friendly. They included everyone in the class and made sure each of us completed the steps required with support if needed and encouragement.
The space we used was a bit cramped but we managed!
I am very happy with my ring :)
Sherry Franklyn • Apr 2023
Denna was a wonderful tutor. She sent us texts beforehand to ensure we knew exactly how to find her. The studio was easy to find following her instructions.
All materials were supplied and discussed. Denna even sent a list afterwards so we could continue making rings ourselves.
The class itself was fun and we all came away with a beautiful ring. Would definitely do another class with Denna.
