"I can't recommend a jewellery making workshop with Mark highly enough. My mum and I had the most brilliant day. Mark is a excellent teacher, we were complete beginners and he took us through every step, showing us what to do and guiding and encouraging us to complete our pieces entirely ourselves. We learnt so many techniques! Mark helped us to choose the designs we liked best and create completely unique jewellery. My mum is a bit of a perfectionist, Mark recognised this and took extra time with her to measure and line up the silver stamps just right so she would be really happy with what she made. I wanted to make a gift for a loved one and Mark went over and above to help me make something a bit more complex and I am so excited by the final product. We opted to have the lunch and Terri treated us to a lovely lunch of sandwiches, pastries, and cake - plus lots of tea throughout the day! We had a really happy day, with cheery, relaxed conversation tinkering away in Mark's treasure trove of a workshop. Thank you so much!!"

"Had a fantastic day at one of Mark,s jewellery making classes, he explained with patience, every aspect of creating beautiful jewellery. I was able to make two beautiful rings, a pair of earrings and was even able to have two of my own rings adjusted to size. The buffet lunch was absolutely delicious, I would highly recommend Mark,s classes to anyone of any age, it was great value for money, a thoroughly enjoyable experience."

"As a family of four, we booked on to one of Mark's one-day workshops, and had a truly fantastic time. We each made a silver ring and then in the afternoon we had the chance to branch out, and made pendants and more rings. Mark was patient, creative and helpful throughout, explained how the science of things worked and made sure that we tried lots of different techniques. Highly recommended."
