Sheila Hira reviewed: Half-Day Jewellery Making Workshop for 2

"We had a fantastic half day on Linda’s workshop last month. It was a birthday present from my friend who I came on the course with. Linda really made us feel very welcome. She was extremely encouraging and gave me the chance to make a wonderful pair of earrings that I thought I would never be able to create something so beautiful specially as I was a beginner. Can’t wait to go again. Thanks Linda for a great day. Look forward to coming to another workshop. x"

Linda Sandeman Jewellery responded:

"So pleased you enjoyed it! For someone who said they had no creativity id definitely say that is not the case. Your earrings are beautiful and I love the design. The contemporary ear wires really suit your design. Look forward to seeing you again. x"

Chad Beard reviewed: Weekend introductory blacksmithing course 'O' at Quinnell School of Blacksmithing

"One of the best weekends I have had in many years. This was a 50th Birthday present and couldn't have been better. The knowledge and skills passed on by Peat were great and I cannot believe what we created in 3 days. I will be recommending the course to everyone I know."

Heidi Tucker reviewed: Can't crochet, won't crochet?

"A lovely half day learning Crochet with Yvonne. I had some basic knowledge so she taught all I needed to know about different yarn, stitches and most importantly, where I was going wrong. Other people on the course were on different levels but this was handled very well by Yvonne and everyone could learn at their own pace. Thank you :))"

"Thank you Heidi. Yvonne."

Joanne Jones reviewed: Copper Electroforming for jewellery - 2 day course in central London

"Hi All.. I have recently done the copper electro-forming course with Penny. I have been wanting to do it for some time and I finally found someone super talented to teach me. I did Pennys electro-forming 2 day course. I wanted to combine the course with my love of crystals which penny helped me with and she customised it to what I wanted to achieve. Penny is an amazing teacher and really recommend the course to anyone. No previous jewellery experience needed either :-). Penny has inspired me to start making jewellery with copper and crystals and I have began making a collection to sell on my instagram... Watch this space.. Thank you Penny x"

Penny Akester Jewellery responded:
