    It was a really enjoyable afternoon with lots of choice. Laura was very helpful and I learnt a lot. The workshop was a Christmas present from my Aunt and I'm really happy with my earrings(I made 2 pairs) Thank you from Daisy

    I recently attended two courses at the Hampshire School of Jewellery in Basingstoke - I had a wonderful day making a necklace and staking rings. Laura has a great workshop and is extremely helpful and patient with everyone on the course. The pieces I made I will be wearing going forward.

    I had a great day at the beginner's silver clay workshop. Laura made us all feel really welcome and was really supportive. I came away with a necklace and bracelet that I am really pleased with and will definitely be making more! 😊

    Excellent, so much fun. Laura is so good at explaining everything step by step you can't help but enjoy learning new skills and coming away with some fab rings. Thank you I'll be back.

    I would highly recommend the making a set of silver stacking rings class. For a complete novice I was so pleased with the 3 rings I made. The 3 hours whizzed by, it was fun and very relaxing working away in the workshop. Laura was so helpful and made the learning very easy. A lovely few hours with my daughter.

    We both had a fab time at the stone setting ring workshop, we love our new creations. We have already recommended to a few friends & plan to book onto another class! Thank you so much

    Attended the Spinning ring making class with my partner and our mums. We all had a lovely time and Laura was a great teacher. Would definitely recommend :)

    A huge thank you for such an enjoyable day learning how to make jewellery with silver clay (beginner's silver clay jewellery making workshop). I honestly didn't think I would make anything even halfway decent (I am not naturally artistic!) but Laura made it all so easy and relaxed ... all the help and support I needed but without taking over (always a delicate balance). I also have very arthritic hands so for anyone else with a similar problem ... don't worry, the silver clay is very easy to work with and Laura is so incredibly helpful if there are any "fiddly" bits you need help with. Thank you Laura, you deserve every success ... and I'll be back for another workshop soon!

    Laura was a brilliant teacher, I took the earring making class. She explained everything clearly, made it all seem simple and broke all the sets down into small bits. I really enjoyed the class and came out with a lovely pair of earrings too! Would definitely reccomend.

    Had a fantastic time at the ring making workshop. Laura had so much patience and took us through each stage at a pace that worked for everyone. I would highly recommend. Was lovely to make something so pretty and which I am proud to wear.

    I have done pendant making workshop in Hampshire School of Jewellery with lovely Lora. I enjoyed it very much, the was step by step workshop and Lora showed and explained everything very simple and easy. Good for beginners like me and also for people who already done silver make jewellery before.

    My mum and I had a wonderful afternoon crafting rings on Saturday. Well, I made a ring, my mum adapted her ring into a pendant for a necklace with the help of Laura who had no problem with amending what we had actually booked to do. The space is bright and cheerful, the instructions very clear, and the whole afternoon was fantastic. Strongly recommended.

    Had a lovely time making silver clay charms and earrings. I highly recommend this class and I will be doing the intermediate course.

  • 5/5 Mantha B. 1 year ago on Google
    Literally couldn't recommend this enough! Me and my Mum did the stacking ring class and it was amazing!! We came away with 3 beautiful rings that were completely personalised and felt like a real achievement, but we also came away with such great memories and joy after the workshop!

  • 5/5 Saskia O. 5 months ago on Google
    We had a lovely afternoon making a set of 3 stacking rings! Laura took us step by step through the first ring and then let us do the next 2 at our own pace/order. She was very professional and easily helped all of us individually and we didn’t feel like we were hanging around waiting! I would highly recommend and I am already looking forward to booking the spinning ring session soon!

  • 5/5 Clare L. 9 months ago on Google
    I attended a stacking rings course and am thrilled with the rings I made. Laura has a great workshop and is friendly and welcoming. She's very relaxed yet clear with her instructions. The class of about 10 was small enough to get individual support but large enough to create a friendly and fun atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    I had the most amazing afternoon at the Hampshire school of jewellery. I chose the stacking ring course. Our host was Laura and she is the most patient, kind and gentle person I’ve ever met, she’s just wonderful! You instantly feel at ease with her. The course is explained in small steps and there is help for you all the way through. I liked that we were given several options of designs to work on, so I could choose which I liked for my style. When I arrived I was convinced I wouldn’t be able to make anything decent but by the end of the 3 hours, I had 3 gorgeous rings that I was so proud of, that I got a little teary. I highly recommend this course either for yourself or as a gift for someone else. I will be booking on to future courses to try making different things. Thank you Laura for a wonderful experience.

    As a training manager, I tend to come away from learning experiences with a strong opinion. My strong opinion here is that Laura is fantastic at her job and that her prices are very reasonable. I can’t wait to go back for a full course having now done an afternoon one! I still can’t believe I came away with two pieces I actually want to wear!

  • 5/5 Penelope G. 9 months ago on Google
    I booked myself onto the stone setting ring making course as it was something I had always wanted to do and it was brilliant. So nice to make something from scratch that you can take home with you and be proud of. Laura was a great teacher. All the ladies were really nice as well. I am looking forward to booking a few more of her classes. I would highly recommend this experience. Thank you Laura.

    Myself and my daughter really enjoyed the spinning ring workshop. This was my first time making any kind of jewellery and Laura was a fantastic teacher. I would highly recommend her classes and I will definitely be looking to sign up for more!

  • 5/5 Sarah L. 2 years ago on Google
    I thoroughly enjoyed the ring making course I attended at Hampshire School of Jewellery. Laura is a fabulous tutor - very clear and patient.

  • 5/5 Alex D. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a great day learning to make a ring I had been wanting to do for ages ! Laura is a great teacher, professional and welcoming

  • 5/5 Anna S. 3 years ago on Google
    I have had so much fun on some of Laura's courses, definitely to be recommended. Choose one of the short courses as a starter, and most likely you will be back for more, to expand your skills and techniques. Thanks Laura for introducing me to silver clay & the molding techniques - love the bees & buttons - even if I did need to learn to solder to make earrings with them!

  • 5/5 Yvonne B. 3 years ago on Google
    I have really enjoyed the courses I have taken at The Hampshire School of Jewellery. Laura is a very friendly and patient teacher and the class sizes small so you can get all the help you need. I look forward to taking more classes once we are able.

  • 5/5 Katie H. 2 years ago on Google
    I recently attended the spinning silver ring workshop with my mum and we absolutely loved the experience! Laura was so lovely, helpful and patient - especially with the amount of questions I had :D I love my ring and I wear it every day, I've had so many compliments on it too! Thank you so much Laura, I can't wait to see what other classes we can do in the future! Katie

  • 5/5 Lucy S. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a fantastic 4 day beginners silver jewellery course at Hampshire School of Jewellery! I learnt an incredible amount and by the end of the course I was making my own pieces. Laura was a fab teacher, a perfect balance of tutoring and individual work! Thoroughly enjoyed my time and have been recommending the course to everyone that has been complimenting my silver jewellery!

  • 5/5 Carly C. 2 years ago on Google
    I have completed a 10 week beginners course with Laura and thoroughly enjoyed it! Laura is an amazing and patient teacher who structures the classes well so that we were able to learn new techniques each week and create something we would all wear! Would highly recommend for anyone looking to learn something new.

  • 5/5 Sally S. 3 years ago on Google
    I thoroughly enjoy going to Laura’s classes and have learnt so much in a short space of time. The classes are so welcoming, and there is always a lovely calm atmosphere in which to work. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Jo M. 2 years ago on Google
    I spent a lovely morning here making something that Im very happy with. I'm not usually a fan of my own creations! Laura was such a patient teacher and seemed to have a fix for every niggle that I had with the pendant I made! I hope to come back and make something else!

  • 5/5 Jade De-Terville M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic Saturday class! Laura was an excellent teacher and taught me the basics of making silver stacking rings. 100% recommend!

  • 5/5 Julie H. 2 years ago on Google
    I completed the 2 hour silver bangle making course in early December - Laura is a great teacher being both knowledgeable and informative. The classes are relaxed and enjoyable, it was great to refresh some old silver-smithing knowledge and to learn a few new tips! The studio is very well equipped with each person having a fully dedicated work-station and tools. Would definitely book again for a different class.

  • 5/5 Carrie-anne E. 2 years ago on Google
    I had such an amazing time on the Intensive Beginners Silversmith Course. Laura was incredibly informative, professional, friendly and offered guidance and support throughout the whole course. The workshop was well set up, safe and had all the tools you could possibly need. I learnt many new skills that I can now include in my jewellery designs and I can't wait to put them to use!

  • 5/5 P H. 1 year ago on Google
    A most wonderful day out with the kids. We’ve done a few craft courses and this was among the best. Kids said it was the most fun they’d ever had on a course. Well organised. Relaxing. Lovely instructor and beautiful new facilities with lots of parking and great lighting. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Helen S. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently enjoyed completing a fantastic beginner jewellery course, where the class had a friendly and supportive feel. I learnt so much like how to make stacking rings, bangles and hooped earrings. Laura is an excellent teacher, endlessly patient and enthusiastic about bringing my jewellery visions to life. I'll be back soon for the intermediate course!

  • 5/5 Kim G. 1 year ago on Google
    I attended a gemstone ring setting class with Laura which was fantastic! Laura is a great teacher and went through every step of the process. I had a great day and I'm so pleased with what I created, I have booked in for another course which I look forward to aswell

  • 5/5 Alison P. 1 year ago on Google
    I attended a ring making workshop on Saturday, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The tuition from Laura was excellent and I learned so much. The workshop is fabulously well equipped and a really inspiring space. I will certainly be signing up for further workshops.

  • 5/5 Louise F. 1 year ago on Google
    A fantastic workshop making a gemstone ring. Laura had a great set-up with all the tools and facilities and explained the processes step-by-step so it’s really clear and the best part is coming away with a fab new bit of jewellery and knowing you have made it yourself! Can’t wait to return 😍
