Booked a class with Colette for an anniversary. Colette makes you feel at ease, she was very thorough in her explanations. We learned a lot about ring making and did not see the time passing. Recommend her class!

My girlfriend and I had a fabulous time, and I would highly recommend Colette’s class! Speaking as someone who is not much of a craftsman, the session was nonetheless made fun and interesting!

We had such a fun, great morning with Collette! She made us feel so welcome and explained/showed us everything in so much details. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone! Thankyou!

Fabulous workshop, me and my partner came away with special silver rings and a true understanding of the jewellery making process. Collette was lovely and spent the time to answer any of our questions and provided a very unique experience, would highly recommend to anyone! We are looking forward to returning to make some bangles!

Collette’s silver ring making class was brilliant! My daughter and I had a fantastic time last Saturday morning. It was just what I needed! Collette’s warmth, patience and positivity made our experience even better and the time just flew by. I am a D&T teacher and to make and finish a silver ring in the time that we had is outstanding! No less than 5 stars will do! Thank you once again Collette.

It was such a great evening at Colette’’class. The workspace is great and she was so clear and encouraging while I had my first try at working in silver. Each stage of the process was outlined and I went home with a lovely silver ring! Thank you. Highly recommended.

We had a session with Collette on Saturday afternoon which was absolutely brilliant. She showed us what to do but also let us get on with it ourselves which wasa great mix. Really recommend this ring making class, and we’re very pleased with how the rings turned out! Thank you again Collette!

Really great and informative class. Collette was very supportive and patient through out the whole process. You can tell she genuinely had a passion for what she does which makes the whole atmosphere even better to work in. Vibe was nice and calm. We left with a set of great looking rings! Great location and easy to find! Would defo recommend! Thank you!!!!!
Sosha - 2 July 2019
Me and my partner attended the silver ring making workshop last weekend and we had the best time! Collette was lovely and taught us basic ring making skills and showed us different techniques we could use for the finishing of the rings. The workshop was both relaxing and super engaging. Now that I know some basic skills, I will certainly come back with a more intricate jewellery design. Many thanks again!

I’ve had the best time with Collette! She’s super friendly and easy going and besides explaining everything practice-related, she’s also great company. I’ve made an amazing silver ring (if I may say so) and I’ll definitely be coming (brining some friends) back here!
Stefana - 11 February 2019
Collette was absolutely brilliant . I wasn’t sure what to expect when I ‘ve booked this class however I’m so happy I decided to go as it exceeded my expectations. I’ve learned so much and made a beautiful ring. Colette is extremely friendly and has guided me through with great patience and knowledge. Thank you Collette, the whole experience was just lovely and I’m looking forward to the next class with you !
Richard - 4 February 2019
I really enjoyed this class and came away with a great looking Silver ring. Collette is a great teacher and the small class size is perfect for learning!
Alice - 30 January 2019
Such an enjoyable experience! I went along to make my boyfriend a ring as a gift and i was delighted with the outcome. Collette was lovely, chatty and let me really be hands on. She explained everything clearly and was a great teacher! Im going to be doing more classes through obby and definitely with Collette. Other then creating things for yourself its a great idea to make gifts for other people! And im certain my boyfriend is going to love the ring!
Sarah - 10 December 2018
Collette is a wonderful, friendly, patient lady. Her venue is fantastic. It is comfortable and modern with a sense of history linked back to the industrial days of the Docklands! I had a great couple of hours with Collette learning the techniques used to make a silver ring! I am very proud of my first attempt and I look forward to doing more classes in the new year! Anyone looking to try something new, or doing something a little bit different spend some time with the lovely Collette! :)
Helen Compson - 9 December 2018
My daughter and I had a superb afternoon with Collette. We both came away pleased to bits with the silver rings we’d made, but even more so with what we’d learnt. I enjoyed it so much I’m now looking for a silversmith course I can do at home in Newcastle - can’t recommend the taster sessions with Collette Dawn Jewellery enough!
Megan - 8 December 2018
Collette runs informative yet fun workshops and at the end it feels good knowing you’ve avyslly made a wearable piece of jewellery.
