Such a fantastic experience with my sister and nieces for their 18th birthday.
Such fun, laughter, learning and sharing with the most beautiful long lasting memory of the day. Stacking rings we all wear everyday. 
Highly recommended a workshop for yourself or an extra special gift for someone you love.

This workshop was awesome! Arden was clear and concise a perfect teacher, giving us the right amount of information and letting us loose to go for it. I would thoroughly recommend this workshop.

The class was absolutely fantastic! Arden really knows her stuff and she only has 5 people attending the workshop at a time, so she is able to really follow your process and help you out. I learned a lot and she even helped me fix a broken ring of my own! I would recommend this class to anyone and I will definitely go back to some of her other workshops!

What an amazing workshop! It was superbly organised, with really clear and helpful instruction. The finished rings looked wonderful, thank you Arden!

Stacking Rings & Gemstone Setting

Claire McCall

Fantastic! Arden was an excellent teacher, giving enough instruction at each stage for everyone to go at their own pace without overwhelming us with too much information. Unlike some other one-day courses, which can feel rushed, the day was really well paced meaning that we all left with a set of rings we were pleased with and had fun in the process. The small class size also made sure that we got plenty of one on one instruction. 

Aimee Vogelsang

Stacking Rings & Gemstones Setting was a brilliant class - being a small group, we all got individual assistance when needed and could spend our time crafting something truly unique and tailored to individual taste. Highly recommend!

I had a lovely day, the class was really hands on with lots of demos and support from a very friendly teacher.

Uli Kress

A fantastic day creating my own stacking rings under friendly and expert tuition.

Perfect sized classes in a lovely setting with an excellent teacher.

Great workshop space and relaxed atmosphere. Amazing tools and possibilities! Knowledgeable, welcoming and creative tutor showed us the steps in straight forward chunks - the result is a beautiful, unique and personal ring! Loved it can't wait to do more workshops there.

I had such a great time at Spinner Rings learning a new skill and making the most beautiful ring. Arden's studio is really well equipped and is a good size too - she's always on hand to offer her help and expertise. I highly recommend it!!

Elise Aston

Such a wonderful day out. My boyfriend and I both absolutely loved  it. Great teacher and lovely location. We couldn't believe how much we learnt in such a short time! Both our rings are so unique and perfect for our own style. Cannot stop talking about it to all my friends!

Dianne Marcos

I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. The venue is lovely and calming when you get there. Arden was really welcoming and very clear in explaining everything that we need to know when making the spinner rings. I liked that we got to choose the different design combinations for the outside ring and inner rings. There was plenty of hot drinks to keep us going while we hammer away at the rings. The class didn't feel rushed and we had enough time to complete our designs. The rings were beautiful and gave me such a feeling of accomplishment. Thanks very much to Arden for a great workshop. 

Helena Furness

Loved this workshop! Very professional setup but in a home environment.
Friendly patient tutor who helped us create beautiful individual spinner rings.

The whole venue was just fantastic. Arden explained very well the tactics of making sea glass jewelry. I really enjoyed it and friends love the earrings I made! I will definitely be back to another course with Arden.

Filipe Carvalho

Juliet Morris

I really enjoyed this workshop and what a beautiful place where we were welcomed with a cup of tea. Positives were a small class size, good resources well laid out, instructions were clear with patient tuition, help and support. My constructive criticism is that an extra half an hour would have prevented me feeling time stressed towards the end. I left with a beautiful pair of amazing sea glass earrings and would attend further workshops hosted by this instructor and would welcome the opportunity for a one day course.

Vicki Leaver

I loved this class. 
Course was at a good pace for everyone. 
Workshop setting and set up is amazing.
We all left with a piece we could be proud of and it was exactly what I wanted to learn.
I have forgotten the lady's name, sorry! But she was so welcoming and patient with us. Can't wait for September and more course here. 


Alexandra Grady

Another fabulous class with Arden. Great to get all the detailing and confidence growth with bezels!

Make Your Own Wedding Rings - Consultion

Learn to create a perfect replica of a real leaf in delicate solid silver to make earrings, pendants and charms.  As unique as nature is, each piece will be completely unique to you. 

Choose a leaf from a selection provided or bring a few along with you.  If bringing your own leaves, please bring a variety as some leaves may not be suitable.   It is ideal to look for leaves that have veins and detail on the back for example Oak, Beech, Strawberry, Maple etc.  Unsuitable leaves are ones with a smooth, waxy or furry surface for example Ivy, Holly, Tomato.  All leaves must be alive and not dried.

The best part is that, after the workshop, you can easily replicate this workshop at home to make beautiful gifts.   

Skills taught :: Working with PMC Silver Clay, firing silver clay, burnishing, finishing techniques

** All tools are provided except for the silver.  The silver required to make your jewellery can be bought on the day, payment by cash or card. Material cost is based on weight of your finished pieces.  You are able to make as many leaves as time allows.  As a rough guide approximately £3 of silver is required for a small leaf to £10 for a large leaf.

Unusual class in well equipped, calm surroundings. Classes kept small so everyone gets attention and help. What you make is unique and beautiful.

A really lovely, friendly class in a really wonderful home studio. I would highly recommend this class

A lovely way to spend a Saturday morning! Arden welcomed us warmly into her beautiful studio and was a knowledgeable and helpful teacher, happy to answer the many questions we had. The processes involved to make our silver leaves were simple but the end result was impressive and unique!

It was a really well spent morning, creating beautiful and delicate pendants with Arden's help.

Amazing day love it
Learned so much can't wait to try it at home 

My mum and I had a lovely relaxed afternoon learning to make silver leaves in Arden's home studio. It was easy to do and we were absolutely thrilled with the results. I'd highly recommend the class. 

Helen Baylis

Really enjoyed this course at Creative Escape. Lovely studio, relaxed atmosphere and Arden is an excellent teacher. The small class size means she has plenty of time to help everyone and I’ve produced some amazing jewellery under her tuition. This course gave me ample time to make a present for a friend too. It was my second course at this studio and certainly won’t be my last. Highly recommended. 

Karen C

I really enjoyed this workshop in this beautiful home studio. Everything was very well explained and there was plenty of time for me to make 4 silver leaves (2 small oak leaves, and 2 maple leaves) without feeling rushed. They turned out beautifully and will make some special gifts for my 2 girls (if, indeed, I decide to part with them!). A relaxing and wonderful experience, and I'm already planning to come back for a different workshop (or indeed more silver leaf making) soon!

Angela Fraser

Absolutely loved this class. Very relaxing and therapeutic painting the leaves then the magic happens in the kiln and you have beautiful silver leaves. The detail is amazing.

Izabella, Rebekah & Belle

We all really enjoyed our silver leaves experience. My daughter now has the silver jewellery making bug for sure. I’m sure we will come again for another class- Arden was a friendly and helpful tutor 😊
