Studio Based Courses I offer classes to all ages, either as a one-off gift 'Taster Day' or longer term to develop skills. Come along for a taster and walk away with a finished item! In terms of longer courses, my suggested offerings are shown on the left, but I work with your intentions. Classes are typically blocks of 12 hours, with each session being two or three hours. The images shown are works by previous learners.

Here's some images of Becky making her wedding bands; mum came along too to try making a ring of her own design! The wedding rings were cross over bands which incorporated forging and a 'follow me' approach was taken-hence three rings, two prototypes in silver and the final ring in 18ct white gold.
