Emma is fantastic! So friendly and welcoming with such a clear description of the process involved. Neither of us had ever attempted any craft like this before and Emma has the perfect balance of patience and expertise to allow you to make the most of the two hours. We enjoyed it so much that two hours could’ve easily turned into 4. Our silver rings arrived in the post right on time and we couldn’t be happier with them. Bravo!

The class was really great. Emma was super friendly, explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. She also managed to pitch the level of her teaching just right so I felt supported without feeling embarrassed if I got something wrong. Really great workshop, perfect for the course too. Thank you Emma! And Obby!x

This was the second workshop I took with Emma, as I enjoyed the first one so much. We learned different skills in this workshop, and learned about this different technique to make silver jewellery. It was, again, an engaging and enjoyable workshop, and Emma was attentive and informative. Thanks, Emma!

Loved it! This was my second class with Emma and it was just as fun and interesting as the first. Emma is a great teacher - very helpful and patient - and I will definitely be back for more classes with her! Can't wait to receive the cast ring soon.

Emma is a friendly and patient teacher. The class was well-taught and relaxing. My second class with Emma as I so enjoyed learning silversmithing with her!

Ibwould definitely recommend this class. Emma creates a warm and relaxed environment to deliver an informative workshop. There is a small class size that allows a high level of induvidualised support. By the end of the class you have completed a wax ring which Emma arranges to be made into a silver version.

I had such a great time at this class learning how to sculpt wax into an amazing, unique ring. Emma gave us some wax and showed us how to use various tools to create a bespoke piece. It was so interesting and Emma was patient, helpful and attentive to everyone attending. Cannot wait to see the final outcome! Loved it and highly recommend.

I took my friend to the class as a 30th birthday gift for her - we both loved it! So nice to make a keepsake together and learn something new. Emma was a great teacher, I have already recommended her class to friends and am keeping an eye out for future classes of hers I want to attend.
