Class was great in many ways. Nobody was tripping over anyone else and teacher gave everyone attention needed to progress. Time flew by which is good and bad but certainly good in that you quickly get to know where your weaknesses are if you want to take these skills further. Great to be able to just turn up and get straight to learning and actually creating something you can then take away. I’ll definitely be booking another jewellery class soon.

Great class made so by Janet our teacher.
She was so patient and encouraging no matter how many times I asked her for help.
Would definitely recommend the class.
Thank you Janet

I was given a Mitsuro Wax Jewellery class as a Xmas present. The communication was excellent, with very clear instructions on directions, what to wear and what to expect. The tutor, Natasha was lovely. She was friendly and gave easy to understand instructions. The other pupils were are very interesting group of people and we all got on very well. When you get the process, you are encouraged to make as many items as you want. It is very easy to scrap one effort and try something else. Eventually you will make one or more items you like. If you want to buy all of your items, you will be told how much (if anything) it will cost. I made a pendant and a ring, it only cost me an additional £20. You can easily make an item with no additional cost. It was excellent value for money. I would highly recommend this class, and I will attend further courses.

I received a sea glass ring making class as a Christmas gift and spent a most enjoyable day engaged in this. Our tutor Sarah was very professional and knowledgeable and went out of her way to ensure that each participant got the best experience possible. She was particularly encouraging when I struggled with some of the processes and I left with my very own sea glass ring at the end of the day.

Thank you for the lovely class! I absolutely adore my ring, and had a lovely time! The studio is lovely and warm, and very well organized and stocked. Instructions were clear, and our instructor (I believe it was Janet?) was very helpful!
After my class today I'll definitely be considering doing the weekend crash courses for more jewellery making. ♥

Teacher was very good, with clear explanations and paid attention to everyone's individual needs. Equipment was both comprehensive and appropriately laid out. Premises are fine and close to public transport.

We had a lovely time, really chuffed with our rings. Just wish we had time to do another one (or two or three)

This was a brilliant class. The teacher was very patient and welcoming and explained things very clearly. The materials supplied were the silver to make our rings and the class was accessible via stairs and a service lift. This was a gift for the Christmas from my sister and I fully enjoyed every second. Would love to go back for more.

What a great way to sget end an afternoon. Loved learning how to make a silver ring. The teacher was excellent, the making of the ring was done in stages. There was plenty help on hand and the tools and equipment plentiful. I came away happy having accomplished a lovely wee ring. I also like the ethos of the school which uses some of the course money to teach people less fortunate and allow them to also have a the opportunity to have the same sense of achievement. I will definitely be recommending this to my friends/family. Many thanks for a brilliant afternoon. My cat loved the ring too

The teacher was lovely from the beginning, I arrived early and from the very start she was so nice and chatty. When the class started she was very informative but not in an overpowering way. I felt the pace of the class was perfect and enjoyed every bit of it, while my rings were being shined in the machine I even started looking at more classes I can do!

Amazing value for money. Had the best day learning some of the craft and walking away with a ring of our own unique design. We also had a brilliant teacher who was patient and supported our creative ideas every step of the way. We will definitely be back :)

teacher was amazing, down to earth and easy to talk to. Helped me get into the idea of what we were doing. Had a great time, mainly down to teacher

Expensive for what it was. Nice tutor but disappointed in the process and colours. Also think that for safety reasons we should have had to wear goggles and a mask when working with powdered glass.

The class was amazing - I came as a total beginner and left with a beautiful pendant! I appreciated how the teacher guided us through step by step, explaining different techniques and giving a demo before we had a go. We got to try out different tools throughout the process, and it was great to gain a little behind the scenes knowledge about jewelry making during the workshop. A great experience.

Sarah was great, very attentive and great knowledge.

We thoroughly enjoyed the class and I'm sure we will be back to try out other classes.

Loved everything about this class! The workshop atmosphere is great from the moment you step in, a really vibrant and interesting space. Natasha was extremely welcoming from the moment you step in, and so approachable and friendly throughout the class. The pace is just right and I really enjoyed what we learnt and what we made. So grateful for the experience, would definitely come again!

Brilliant class. Super helpful but able to just get on with it and make our own unique rings.

I bought the class for 2 birthday gifts. All 3 of us really enjoyed the class. The teacher was excellent giving help and guidance to each individual in the group as required. She gave good clear instructions and demonstrations throughout the day. She created a fun, friendly and relaxed learning environment. The class i sellected had quite a few complex tasks, she was able to help us as individuals to achieve each one. Being able to leave the class with a beautiful spinner ring each was the icing on the cake. We are now inspired to do more courses with Vanilla ink. Please pass our thanks to the teacher.
