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.
JaneThree silver bangles: What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon, Collette was fantastic! Collette was very attentive and informative - who knew using Pythagoras theory could be such fun? The balance between doing and learning how to work with silver was perfect. Great value for money. Highly recommended.
Ron SThis was a great class. Collette strikes the perfect balance between letting you test new skills and helping you to make sure you get a great piece. It was really interesting to learn about the processes involved and see the equipment jewellers use. Really good value considering you get to keep a piece of jewellery as well as the class time. We love what we made.
JenniferA 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!
RoseI bought this for my daughter who is autistic, Collette was amazing, patient, explained everything very clearly. She made us really comfortable and relaxed. We love the rings we made. The session was real value for money and we will be back.

UrmiCollette’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.
GwenI really enjoyed the gem set silver stud earrings class with Colette. I was fortunate to be the only person on the course, so had one to one attention for the day. The studio is well set up, and Colette was a great tutor, very patient and encouraging, and explained the process thoroughly.

DeorMe 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!
SoshaI'd Love My class. She is an amazing Teacher... even my english being very basic, i could understand everything. I want to come back as soon as possible. Many thanks
marianaColette is an amazing teacher. During the whole workshop, she was very patient and took some time to introduce all the tools that I would need to make the rings. This workshop is ideal for anyone who loves jewellery and wants to do something creative and relaxing at the same time. I love the three rings that I was able to make from scratch and I am planning to book other workshops similar to this one. I really enjoyed the workshop and would definitely recommend it!
DianedraI’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!
ElianeBrilliant class, Collete was helpful and knowledgeable, it was an evening well spent! Absolutely thrilled with the pendants we made 🤩

RichardSuch 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!
AliceCollette 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! :)
SarahMy 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!
Helen CompsonCollette runs informative yet fun workshops and at the end it feels good knowing you’ve avyslly made a wearable piece of jewellery.
MeganWe 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!
