   Communication with Sally was fantastic - she was very accommodating at every step. The workshop itself was really interesting and Sally was very knowledgeable. The atmosphere was very welcoming and relaxed and we found her to be a really kind and lovely person. In our workshop we had the opportunity to try different techniques and we were all really happy with our final product! I would highly recommend a workshop with Sally - it was a fabulous experience!

   We had a wedding ring workshop with Sally in York. We were her first York couple! We had a fantastic day with her, learning how to make the rings in silver first in the morning, and then making the real rings in the afternoon. Sally was so kind and a great teacher. She filled us with confidence and made sure we knew that we couldn't really mess it up and anything was fixable! She explained everything very clearly and made us feel very welcome. We highly recommend Sally to anyone who wants the experience of making their own rings and we are excited to get married using rings we made for each other ❤️

   We went and made our wedding bands with Sally earlier in the year and the entire experience was stunning! From first contact to the day before Sally was more than happy to answer any questions we had and guide us through buying the materials for the rings. On the day Sally was a brilliant teacher showing us the process and guiding us through what we needed to do. Nothing was too much for her. At the end of the day the rings looked stunning and we were static with how professional they looked! Thank you so much Sally!

   My fiancé and I recently spent the day with Sally making our wedding rings. She was a fantastic teacher and a lovely person - very easy to get along with. We had the best day and would highly recommend completing a workshop with her. The workshop was really accessible and Sally ensured we knew what we were doing at each step. It was really reassuring to practice with silver rings first before moving onto our gold rings. Sally also worked through her lunch break to make us extra rings to practice a hammered finish onto. We felt this was above and beyond what was expected and we massively appreciated the chance to practice this again before moving onto our real rings. It really was such a special experience - try to include this in your wedding budget if you can! We can't wait to get our rings and wear them forever!

   Me and my partner recently did the wedding ring workshop with Sally and I honestly could not recommend this experience enough. Sally made this experience so special and amazing, it will be something we will treasure forever. From my initial enquiry, helping us pick out wedding ring designs to the actual workshop Sally always put my mind at ease. For the products you get the price is 100% worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat. When we arrived Sally made us feel so welcome and took her time in going through everything including the plan for the day, she also reassured us that it was our workshop so we could take as many and as little breaks as we needed. We were complete novices going into this and didn't know what to expect but Sally was so patient and I was so surprised how hands on it was. We felt so at ease with her and she not once did we feel rushed and even when things went a little pear shaped Sally was able to jump in and reassure us that everything was fixable. What started as an anxious start with us not wanting to mess up the rings turned into such a great day full of smiles and laughs. The intimate workshop also made it even more special because Sally was able to give us her full attention and talk us through all of the process including why were where doing certain things how the tools worked. Even more of a surprise was that she filmed and took photos for us so we would keep them as an extra memory. Pricing was extremely reasonable and Sally was really transparent with us so we understood what the prices were with no hidden fees. It's such a special and unique experience and with Sally she made it even more special. I can't wait to get our final rings back and I'm so glad that we did it with Sally. Thank you so much again!

   We really had the most amazing ring making workshop with Sally. It was an incredibly special day. Sally is brilliant - in the lead up to the workshop she pulled out all the stops to help us design the engagement rings we wanted, finding an array of gems from ethical dealers to choose from and helping us to decide which combinations would work well together. The workshop itself was such a happy day, we couldn't stop smiling all day and for a long time afterwards! Sally is such a lovely person, and a wonderful teacher. She walked us clearly through every step and answered all of the questions we had. We really feel like we made the rings ourselves - with support and guidance from Sally of course - and we can't believe how beautiful they have turned out. We didn't want to take them off and we are so excited to see the end products when Sally has set the stones and had the hallmarks added. I would unreservedly recommend the ring making workshop, it was the most special and joyful day and the rings we created have so much meaning because we designed and made them ourselves. I genuinely didn't want the day to end. We really can't thank you enough, Sally!

   My fiancé and I made our wedding bands with Sally last weekend, and it was the most wonderful day! Sally was thorough and kind. She allowed us to take ownership of the making of our rings, while still providing guidance and help throughout. Before our session, we had a video consultation with Sally to talk about the design of rings we were interested in, and what karat of gold to use. Sally then ordered everything needed for the workshop to take place. We first cast the rings in silver, and then came back after some lunch to cast them in the gold. This was brilliant as it means you end up with two rings each! Sally mentioned that some people choose to wear their silver bands when travelling etc to keep the gold ones safe. The rings have turned out absolutely beautifully, and we can’t wait to wear them! Thank you Sally for the most wonderful day. We will remember the experience forever!

   My fiance and I had the most wonderful experience making our wedding rings with Sally. The day spent with her making the rings was magical - we learnt so much whilst also coming away with "perfect" rings as Sally kept such an attentive eye on us to make sure no mistakes were made! From first contacting her right through to receiving the rings she has kept us informed made the process stress-free. We would highly recommend!

   I booked Sally for a jewellery making class for my friends hen do as a special thing to do between the bridesmaids. We all made silver rings. Sally was lovely and was great to see the passion she showed in her work. Sally explained what to do in great detail and went the extra mile giving more knowledge on the subject. She helped us if we needed to and we all enjoyed our morning! A very friendly approachable lady. Also was prepared to run us back into harrogate if our taxi didn’t show up which we were very grateful for. All the girls agree we had a great time and we’ve got a great memory in our rings from a special weekend.

   My fiancé and I did the wedding ring making workshop with Sally last week, and we loved it. First we made practise rings in silver and then we moved on to the gold. We chose to make each other's rings, just for extra pressure! Sally was patient and kind throughout and jumped in a couple of times to stop us going way off track, since we didn't have a clue, and making a piece of straight metal turn into a piece of round metal that fits perfectly is hard! I cannot believe how good they look, and we got it all done in a day - just really good fun and I'd recommend it to anyone.
