Absolutely loved my experience at the beginners jewelry making course! Momoko and Philippa were amazing—so knowledgeable and always ready to help whenever we had questions or got stuck. The group was small, which made it so much fun to share ideas and see the unique pieces everyone was creating. There are so many different techniques to explore in jewelry making, and I’m excited to book my next course at the studio soon.
