LR Silver Jewellery reviews

Clare Johnson reviewed: Silver clay 2 day course for beginners - Lori Ridgway

"What an incredible two days! Lori was absolutely amazing—so patient and supportive, letting me work at my own pace. I was amazed at how many new skills I picked up during the course—I ended up making five different pieces! I learned how to set stones, roll a ‘worm’, polish metal, and even use a kiln and blowtorch. The two days flew by far too quickly, and since then, I’ve definitely caught the jewellery-making bug! I can’t wait to dive in with my own kit. Huge thanks to Lori (and to Bluey the budgie for keeping us company!)."

LR Silver Jewellery responded:

"Thank you for such a lovely review. I’m glad you’ve caught the bug and can’t wait to see what you make. "

"What an amazing course this was, Lori throughout both days taught the skills and methods in a clear and supportive manner and was full of incredible tips about how to reproduce them at home with the minimum cost of equipment, so enthusiastic and encouraging for people to take this up independently without expecting repeat visits- which I will be doing in the near future to gain more insightful knowledge and benefit from her wealth of experience. I had a thoroughly enjoyable 2 days away from the stresses of everyday life in a productive, professional and fun environment. I can highly recommend this course without hesitation. It was amazing! Thank you Lori for a fabulous 2 days!"

"Hi Lori, just wanted to say ’thank you’ for giving us such an enjoyable learning experience! Although we have all done silver work before, we’ve still learned masses of stuff we didn’t know! You have managed to re-fire our enthusiasm so that Dave and I are already plotting our next pieces 🤣😂🤣."

Petra reviewed: Art Clay Silver Diploma Course - Lori Ridgway

"I’d thoroughly recommend this course, Lori has so much experience and knowledge and expertise, I learnt so much from her. She is patient and and gives just the right amount of guidance and direction, ensuring everything is completed by you independently, but in a way that gives you confidence and success. I enjoyed every minute of it, and am keen to take this knowledge further. She continues to give advice to previous students who get in contact and obviously enjoys her work. A generous talented tutor. Thank you "

"Lori is a brilliant teacher, she is very patient and explained all the processes as we went along making it informative and fun. We had coffee, biscuits and a good old chat whilst we were learning, I really enjoyed her class and came home with a pendant necklace and a pair of earrings that I look at and can't believe I made. Would definitely recommend anyony to book a class with Lori."

"My partner and I attended the Silver clay beginners course and it was outstanding. We had a fantastic day and loved the pieces we made. Lori was an excellent teacher and extremely knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this course with Lori. In addition, there were substantial measures put in place to ensure Lori could run the workshop for us whilst complying with COVID-19 guidance. Thanks for a fab day Lori!"

Heather Francis reviewed: Silver clay beginners course - Lori Ridgway

"Last week I joined Lori in her workshop for the 2 day beginners silver clay course. I became truly immersed, and the time flew by. I loved the pieces that I made, and the guidance and teaching from Lori was super. Lots of tea and cake... and a really relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.. It's magic when your creations start to shine! Can highly recommend."

Ellen Bowers reviewed: Silver clay 2 day course for beginners - Lori Ridgway

"I have just spent a wonderful 2 days on Lori's beginners silver clay course. Having never done jewellery making before I had no expectations of being able to make anything I would be proud of but how wrong I was. Lori is very patient and helpful, explains all the processes clearly and gives you confidence. Her workshop is very well equipped and organised and Lori times it all so well that you never feel rushed at any stage. At the end of the course I left with pieces I am delighted with and had met some other lovely like minded ladies who were equally as happy with their efforts. I intend to go back and do further courses with Lori and I would urge anyone who is thinking about giving this a try to go to Lori - I can highly recommend her."

Rosemarie Cantrill reviewed: Silver clay beginners course - Lori Ridgway

"Hi Rosie. Thank you for the lovey review, I'm glad you enjoyed the course, you made some lovely pieces. Thanks. Lori"

Grainne Taylor reviewed: Art Clay Silver Diploma Course - Lori Ridgway

"I had the pleasure of doing this course with Lori two weeks ago. She is a wonderful teacher who seems to know when to give a little advice, and when to let a student get on with it. Lori is a fabulous person to spend time with, the three days flew by. I learned so much from her and got alot of confidence in myself from doing the course. Loris attention to detail is amazing, from the information she sent before I got there, to her preparation of the work space and projects, to her notes and advice regarding each project. I truely enjoyed doing the course and would recommend any of Loris courses to be a fun, creative experience."

Margaret Sanderson reviewed: Silver clay 2 day course for beginners - Lori Ridgway

"This was a great experience tailored to us as individuals. I have a little experience in jewellery making but none in pmc and I felt I learned a lot and would thoroughly recommend the course to both complete beginners and those wanting to extend their skills. I felt we had a generous allocation of materials to work with and we produced pieces to feel good about!"

Sandra Purser reviewed: Silver clay 2 day course for beginners - Lori Ridgway

"I had two very good productive days with Lori in her workshop and am extremely pleased with the pieces I made. Lori patiently took me through each stage and taught me lots of new skills. The first day was quite intense (when all the groundwork was done) but the second day was when all the magic happened! I was made to feel at home in Lori's well equipped workshop and look forward to returning again for another course in the future."
