Great class. Learned a lot in a short time and grew in confidence very quickly. Feeling of real achievement throughout and pride with the finished product. Nadia was great, very clear, with great pro tips, and very patient given I done the class on my mobile phone with kids running around and noise in the background. Highly recommended.

Teacher's response

Wonderful class with a beautiful kit to make you own unique decorations, with stunning high quality beads, pearls and wire. It also comes with all the tools you need. The teacher is lovely and teaches well. Really lovely class.

Another wonderful class with Nadia. She is extremely passionate and patient and was happy to keep showing me until I had the hang of it. The kit was fantastic and great service. I'd love to do the other classes too.

What a wonderful way to spend time learning the basics of jewellery making. I learned so much, and feel very inspired to create my own designs. Nadia is very patient, and learning from her was so easy. I was the only one on this course, so had Nadia's full attention. I would definitely recommend this course for beginners.

I definitely threw Nadia a curve ball by not telling her I was visually impaired before the class but she rose to the challenge magnificently. She didn't panic - or at least didn't show it - which was so good of her. I have been to classes before where I have been made to feel very rejected so it was wonderful to have such a great experience. Making the necklace was great fun and finishing it at the end of the class was amazing. Thank you so much Nadia for your encouragement, patience and adaptability. I will definitely look at more classes with you! ^_^ god bless.

Very professional and extremely patient. She supported me throughout. Allowing me to explore and grow. Intervening at the right time. Observing and advising throughout. I didn’t even know where the time went and I wished it was longer. I definitely had a masterclass and Nadia left me wanting more.

Nadia was an absolutely wonderful teacher! She exudes passion for her craft and it most definitely shows in her support during every aspect of the class. The time certainly flew by but Nadia packed in so much support I feel able to try some jewellery making by myself. Thank you so much, Nadia. You’re a star!

Nadia was an amazing tutor and guided me through the jewellery making process with support and patience. She imparted her wealth of knowledge, so that I picked up some great tips and techniques. I was supplied with some beautiful, high quality glass beads and findings, with plenty left over for practice and other creations. I absolutely loved the necklace I made with Nadia and went on to make some earrings by myself after the class and I am now quite literally hooked :)
I would highly recommend Nadia’s classes to others and will most definitely join another one soon.

Such a fun course. Fiddly, but well worth the effort. The tutor guided me on how to make a very pretty necklace, which received some lovely comments when I wore it to go out.

Two of us took this class. We received our parcel of goodies in plenty of time. Beautiful beads, I requested some green with the nude colour and was very pleased with content. Class started on time. Nadia is lovely to talk to, patient and gave clear instructions. We did run over time a few minutes to make sure we finished. Two hours passed quickly.
I would recommend this class.

Friendly helpful and great to learn a new craft. Two of us did it and Nadia was brilliant at sharing the kit.

I loved this class so much. First something came up and I couldn't make the time I originally booked but Nadia kindly moved me to another class. Then the class was wonderful. The kit was really lovely and Nadia was patient and generous with her knowledge. I really felt as though Nadia was passionate for us to get as much out of the class as possible and to continue jewelry making. I had a lovely relaxing time, I was delighted with the bracelet I made and I've already bought some more kits so that I can make some for friends and family.

This was a really informative and enjoyable workshop. Nadia transferred her passion for jewellery making to us and the workshop went by so quickly as we were engrossed in our designs. We all felt we learnt new skills which we very much intend to use again. Thank you!

Great communication from Nadia to ensure my daughter had all the equipment and could be sent the style of jewellery she liked in advance. It was great receiving the kit in the post in advance and then learning how to make jewellery properly. Great course. Highly recommended.

This was an absolutely fantastic class and Nadia is a great teacher. My bracelet is beautiful and I feel confident to go on and fix or make more jewellery. I loved this and hope to do some other classes.
