Thank you very much for the lovely day we had in your workshop yesterday. You made us so welcome and we really enjoyed the whole session. It was so interesting seeing the many skills, materials and tools involved in making jewellery and particularly being able to experience using some of them. Even better, with your help and support, to actually produce a pair of earrings which we are very pleased with and will enjoy wearing.

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 😃

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.
