S Stride, Chichester, United Kingdom - Jul 2015 Silversmithing Course

I'm going back again. The Silversmithing course is fabulous. Karen & Tim make you feel very welcome and Karen's guidance was such that everyone surprised themselves with what they achieved and created. It was a very relaxing, hugely fun and memorable, set in fabulous countryside and near very picturesque villages. My husband and I went to commemorate our 25th wedding anniversary and we have wonderful lasting memories and physical reminders in the form of bracelets (his and hers) amongst other pieces. However, I'm going back with girlfriends next time because we can create and chat, put the world to right and leave with actual personal creations to treasure. Honestly, you'll be amazed at what you can achieve with some very basic techniques, the possibilities are near limitless. I can not forget to mention that thanks to Tim my caffeine addiction was kept well topped up throughout the day and he provided fabulous lunches too. Thank you Karen & Tim. I look forward to seeing you again soon


B Sebti, London, UK - Jun 2015 Silversmithing Course

This was a fun learning experience in a beautiful setting. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this if you enjoy making things. Worth going with a friend and considering hiring a car so you can go and explore in the evenings as there is little to do when the classes finish


J McCullough, Southampton, UK - Nov 2013 Jewellery Making Holiday Course

Had a great trip and learnt so much - my neice has already badgered me into teaching her how to make the silver bangles! The location is truly amazing and the gite was simply beautiful. Karen and Tim have it just about right - they even arranged for it to snow while i was there!


J Shrimpton, vinsobres, france - Apr 2013 Jewellery Making Holiday Course

What a great week! The gite was gorgeous, warm and comfortable and hosts, Karen and Tim, made my stay fun and relaxed. Karen is a wonderful teacher giving clear tuition, encouragement and patience! I left with a host of new skills, some lovely new jewellery and bags of enthusiasm.


D Sue Wilkins, Nottingham, UK - Mar 2013 Jewellery Making Holiday Course

A Fellows, Faversham, United Kingdom - Feb 2013 Mid Week or Weekend Jewellery Course

I had an excellent time and would throughly recommend the jewellery making course in Rodez - Karen and Tim are very friendly and hospitable, the accommodation is gorgeous and Karen's knowledge and teaching ability was excellent.

T Dale-Johnson, Mosstodloch, Scotland - Apr 2012 Silversmithing Course

My boyfriend Barry and I had a wonderful time on our silversmithing course in France! The beautifully refurbished 300 year old farmhouse made for a very comfortable and quaint location to relax in and enjoy. The spectacular valley vies surrounding us, provided a perfect getaway! The hosts were fab


L Fountain, London, UK - Mar 2012 Silversmithing Course

I really enjoyed this course. The hosts are friendly, the workshops are small and it's up to you what you make/learn. I came home with some lovely jewellery, which exceeded what I thought I'd be able to create in two days. There are only a few things to be aware of: it's a very rural location, there's no wifi and it can get cold up in the hills. None of that should put you off though!


A Rose, South Bermondsey, UK - Sep 2011 Wire Jewellery Making Course

The best holiday I've ever had of its kind. Cannot recommend this course highly enough. Many thanks to Karen and Tim for an amazing break.


A Armstrong, nimes, france - Aug 2011 Silversmithing Course

The hosts are fantastic people, who entertain, teach, cook a fabulouse meal, and make you feel right at home.


T MacKinnon, Inverness, UK - Aug 2011 Silversmithing Course

I loved every minute of this course and came home with some beautiful jewellery. Can't wait to put my new skills to the test. The accommodation was lovely and Tim's cooking [not to mention his banter!!] was superb.


C Boyle, Paris, France - Jul 2011 Jewellery Making Holiday Course

Beautiful setting, relaxing atmosphere and classes tailored to individual interests and capabilities. We worked with quality materials and came away with beautiful jewelry. Karen and Tim are so friendly and helpful. The lunches were delicious, and they catered to even the most difficult dietary requirements.


B Auterson, Glasgow, United Kingdom - Jul 2011 Jewellery Making Holiday Course

Quality tuition from a patient, thoughtful teacher with artistic flair. A very friendly, exceedingly accommodating couple. A spacious and comfortable room in a lovely part of France-even when it drizzles.


V Earnshaw, Brentwood, United Kingdom - Apr 2011 Silversmithing Course

I really enjoyed this trip! The jewellery making was great and I was pleased with the piecies I made. The school is set in beautiful surroundings. After the initial suprise of being the only one there I had a fab time and Karen and Tim were lovely and made me feel very welcome (and are great fun!)!
