Excellent class if you want to learn basic jewellery making skills. The workshop has everything the aspiring jeweller would need and the teacher was competent and a good trainer. The courses may seem expensive, but are really good value. If you want to make a ring or a set of earrings then start here. I had a specific idea for some earrings and during this course, with the material supplied and with the help of the excellent instructor Dani, I made them exactly the way is drawn them.
