Helen Compson

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!

Sarah

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! :)

Alice Cox

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!

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!

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.

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 !

Eliane Tazelaar

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!

Sosha

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!

We had a wonderful experience with Collette. As a group of 9 we arranged a silver charm making session and we all had a great time. We couldn’t believe that from going in with no experience we came out with 9 lovely silver charms in just 2 hours! Collette was informative and knowledgeable, guiding us patiently and somehow ensuring all 9 of us were on the right track! We sawed, hammered, drilled, filed and  soldered our way through the 2 hours and really enjoyed ourselves. We have already been recommending  the experience to our other friends!

An absolutely fantastic workshop. The venue is beautiful and central. Colette is lovely, skilled and patient. She arranged a great workshop for 9 of us to design and make our own silver charm.
