A stimulating and "in the zone" session with Collette. She's a great teacher, we had a laugh and she gave me lots of advice on making a wonderful (and surprisingly sophisticated !) pendant that has been much admired since. It's just the right amount of time to make something that you can take home so thoroughly recommend it for a relaxing afternoon of learning something new. Thanks Collette!

WE had an enjoyable session and learnt a great deal. Colette was pleasant, friendly, helpful and encouraging. We would attend other sessions with her

It was such a magical! Worked well as a birthday gift for my partner. We both had an amazing time, left with adorable charms and learnt a bit of a new skill. The teacher made it fun and relaxing.

Collette was a great teacher and instructor through-out and she is informative, friendly, professional and patient. I really enjoyed the class and my finished pendant charm and she has a very lovely and well-equipped studio. I would do another class with her again.. highly recommended !
Urmi - 18 August 2021
The class was great. Well equipped studio, really clear explanations and demonstrations. The teacher was friendly and gave us loads of individual attention. We both came out with pendants which we had designed and made, and know a whole load of new techniques. Lovely afternoon.

My daughter and I really enjoyed this class. Collette was super helpful and we came away with a couple of beautiful pendants we had made ourselves. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to have a go at making their own jewellery. Thank you Collette!

Deor - 6 August 2019
It was a really nice class. I learned a lot and managed to finish my design. Easy recommendation to anyone!
Jane Lodeto - 30 July 2019
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. The making did need concentration but was really enjoyable and you really do make the charm all yourself. I would highly recommend Colette’s work shops for a hen party or girls celebration for all ages.
Louise Romanis - 30 July 2019
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!
