  • 5/5 from Natalia Szeremeta, attended Oct 2026: Great class and great teacher. Would definitely recommend it
  • 5/5 from Mason Sellars, attended Oct 2026: My.girlfriend and I attended Will's workshop today to make some silver rings. I think we'd have both have admitted that we were a little nervous beforehand as we'd both never made something like this but Will was absolutely incredible. A genuinely charming, funny and kind teacher with so much patience for us newbies, helping us with all the steps safely but with loads of fun and some shenanigans. We had an amazing time making some cute keyrings from copper, a lil' tester ring, and then the big event with some beautiful silver rings! We made one textured band and one spiral ring and we're over the moon with the results. Thank you so much for this amazing and memorable time, we'd recommend it to anyone and we'll definitely be back to try make some of the other jewellery Will offers! ️
  • 5/5 from Emily Cartwright, attended Sep 2026: It was our first time doing a class like this and we loved it. Will was a great teacher and so patient with us through every step. We highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Lesley Wilson, attended Sep 2026: Will was very professional while being friendly, helpful and informative. He explained and demonstrated each step in a encouraging way. Overall a great activity which was fun and interesting, learning new skills to produce a lovely silver ring. Will even bought a birthday cake for my day which was very sweet of him. We love our rings and friends have admired them. Highly recommend this experience
  • 5/5 from Lesley Sutcliffe, attended Aug 2026: Thoroughly enjoyed this class. Will was an engaging and knowledgeable teacher, and great fun. He was keen to ensure we produced rings we were all happy with and that we were able to do the maximum ourselves. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 from Rachel Lee, attended Aug 2026: We had an absolute blast, Will is so patient, kind and very funny, making the whole experience relaxed, never rushing you and explains everything in detail (and even letting you practice before being let loose with the silver). We all came away with a gorgeous ring and fun extras and also had a good look at some of Will’s own creations, which are a feast for the eyes and spark a ton of inspiration! If you’re in doubt, don’t hesitate to book as you’ll not only come away with a gorgeous product at the end of it, but you’ll have a great time making it.
