  • 5/5 from Jonathan Dench, attended Jan 2026: Amazing teacher would recommend
  • 5/5 from Lee Beaumont, attended Jan 2026: Alison was knowledgable, interesting, patient and informative. She really knows her trade well and it was a joy to learn with her. Alison encouraged us to use our imagination but was there every step of the way when we had questions or difficulties. We chose to learn how to make textured single silver rings which exceeded our expectations. We most like the relaxed atmosphere, Alison’s humour and gentle approach which made our afternoon fun and rewarding.

The class is intimate, only 4 people max, which means you get to ask questions freely and have the teachers attention. Really appreciated Alison’s communication prior to the class
  • 5/5 from Edie Waterman, attended Oct 2025: Fantastic session today. I booked it for my sister’s birthday so we could make matching rings. Alison was so welcoming and helpful (and made lovely cup of tea when we got there). She’s extremely knowledgable but breaks the process down into bite size chunks as you go along so you understand what you’re doing much better. She got just the right balance of letting you do it yourself and leant in when we needed help too. Thank you so much, we had a fab time and will certainly be back at Christmas for the open studio! Edie and Phoebe

Her studio is in a lovely building just outside the Bloomsbury area and has other jewelry designers in the same space. It has a wonderful other artists in there too with great creative energy.

Overall I thought the class was great value for money and I am already keen to do another class with Alison!
  • 5/5 from Marcel, attended Jun 2024: My wife and I took Alison's class as an anniversary treat. We learnt a lot about the ring-making process and had fun too. Alison is very knowledgeable and showed each step very clearly. The small class size also meant that it felt more personal.
