"Just returned from a lovely morning spent with Alf on a bangle workshop. From never having done any silversmithing I have created with help and guidance and a lot of patience from Alf a wonderful bangle. A thoroughly enjoyable morning which I would highly recommend." KATHY 

"Fabulous afternoon with Alf. I had a great time as Alf encouraged me to create the ring that I wanted and I am over the moon with it. I would definitely do this again as you leave the workshop with a ring that you are pleased to show your friends and family. Thank you Alf." HELEN

What a wonderful experience! Alf was the perfect host for our afternoon's workshop. She was able to advise us on potential designs and guide us through the process of making our chosen item. Thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and the finished product. Thank you Alf, highly recommend you 😃" DAVID

"Just had a really enjoyable afternoon with Alf at her ring making workshop. She promised we would be taking home a ring each which we had designed and made and we did! She was patient and friendly and we learnt so much! Would really recommend this experience to anyone wanting to try something new and creative."WENDY
