Sandra Kerns Jewellery reviews

Nikki Davies reviewed: Silver Jewellery making class at Sandra Kerns Jewellery studio, Little Sampford

"I took my mum to this course as her 60th birthday present and we both absolutely loved it! Sandra is an amazing teacher, before we went I was worried that we wouldn't be able to get the hang of jewellery making but both myself and my mum came away with pieces of jewellery to be proud of. Sandra really went out of her way to help you create and is a very knowledgable and talented craftswoman. We were taught a number of different techniques and ways to create what we had in mind. I cannot stress enough how fun this day was! I would love to do it again. It's a perfect birthday present for anyone considering this as a gift."

Sandra Kerns Jewellery responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure teaching you both and I look forward to seeing you again in the future. Sandra"

"My daughter has just turned 21 & I struggled to find any jewellery in the shops that was 'just right'! I booked this course as a surprise for her & with Sandra's help, she made herself 3 beautiful rings. I created a silver bangle for her & we both came away with copper heart pendants to remind us of our day together. We're delighted with our creations & really enjoyed Sandra's company, encouragement & knowledge."

"I attended a couple of days ago and thoroughly enjoyed the class. Sandra is an excellent teacher. Everything was explained clearly and was not rushed. We went through different techniques and I learned so much. With her help I made a silver butterfly. Her own beautiful collection of jewellery inspires. Thank you Sandra."

"I attended this course with my friend a week ago and we both enjoyed it very much. We were both complete beginners and had no idea what to expect. Sandra very patiently showed us how to make a lovely ring and a beautiful pair of ear-rings. Very happy with our experience"

Sandra Kerns Jewellery responded:

"Thank you for your lovely comments Diane, it was a real pleasure to teach you both."

"Sandra is an excellent tutor, for an introduction to the craft I was very pleased to come away with a pair of earrings and 2 pendants. The studio is very well equipped with everything you may need. I cannot recommend Sandra's course highly enough and will definitely be returning for further tuition on all aspects of jewellery making."

"Went for a day with my mum and sister and we loved it. Sandra was very patient with us and enthusiastic, showing us different techniques and examples of textures we could achieve. A talented silversmith, so many beautiful creations. She understood what each of us had in mind and helped us get there! Tea and biscuits and good chat along the way too, would recommend to anyone."

"Sandra’s patient friendly manner enabled me to have confidence to create beautiful earrings which I had a clear picture of in my imagination but was unable to even draw. I am not artistic with my hands but Sandra demonstrated and then encouraged me to have a go at many different skills to translate my idea into reality. My daughters and I were enabled to transform a flat rectangle of silver using Sandra’s remarkable range of tools and machines. Thank you Sandra you have a lovely studio and are a generous host and skilled teacher. We were inspired by seeing all that you have made."

"Having undertaken 3 courses with Sandra Kerns Jewellery at various levels I can say with confidence Sandra is not only a talented silversmith but also a wonderful teacher and has taught me many useful techniques from basic silver clay and silversmithing to more technical processes and problem solving - who would have thought the humble potato such a useful tool! Sandra is incredibly patient and has a well equiped studio in a beautiful location ready to teach basic jewellery making/beading and more advanced skills for those with some knowledge already who want to advance. Great value, learn a new skill, make an item you can wear and maybe leave with one or two bought from her collection which is hard to resist!"

"I was privileged to be one of Sandra's first students. The day covered a lot of information which Sandra has obviously put a lot of thought, time and effort into learning in order to pass this on. But it wasn’t just about the new knowledge I gained. The main benefits came from actually creating a piece, receiving individual feedback and interacting with Sandra about ideas and techniques. This day gave me a much firmer appreciation of the jewellery making process, especially when Sandra was thrilled when I finally broke a saw blade. (Apparently this is very common). I made some lovely pieces that day which a friend wore for her wedding. I would highly recommend this course. Sandra is a great teacher a wonderful mentor, but ultimately a superb silversmith!"
