Just got back from a hammered & stamped ring making workshop with Karen & I had so much fun! I dragged my fiance to who is a stay at home type of person & he absolutely loved it too & I’ve got two brand new rings! Karen is a great teacher, funny, laid back & really puts you at ease. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a day out on their own or with friends, or looking to get into jewellery making / silver / goldsmithing! I can’t wait to do another 😍

Karen is extremely knowledgeable and a really lovely human to be around. I could have easily spent all day in that workshop. Will definitely be joining for level two and beyond. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic class. We made silver rings from scratch, I felt really proud. It was a lovely group of people and Karen has an amazing way- she's so calm but yet you remember every bit. She is lovely, a true professional who is so knowledgable and skilled. Thank you Karen, I can't wait to do another xx

Really enjoyed the Beginners Course, there were plenty of tools available for "hands on" practice, thorough instructions on how to use the equipment safely and correctly, and Karen was always to hand to help with any questions. Look forward to doing more courses in the very near future. Thank you.

I had a lovely day making a spinner ring. I learnt so much under the care of Karen and Emma, both welcoming patient and very knowledgeable. As soon as I finished I wanted another go! Can't wait to come back.

I attended a jewellery making class at BENCHspace where I made a spinner ring, and I absolutely loved it! The tutors were so lovely, supportive and knowledgeable throughout the session, making the whole experience really enjoyable and relaxing. I’m so pleased with the finished piece — such a beautiful end product that I’ll treasure. I would highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to try something creative and learn a new skill!

It involved dangerous tools (hammers & saws) and fire...so just a touch out of my comfort zone, but I LOVED IT! I've wanted my own fidget ring for a while now...but never dreamed I'd make it myself. Thank you to Karen and Kitty for your guidance and patience. I absolutely 100% recommend this 1-day course and hope to do another one sometime soon. 💍💚🩵

I have absolutely loved my level 1 and level 2 courses, I’ve learnt so many new skills and made so much lovely new jewellery, I can’t wait to start the level 3, and learn even more so I can make myself some even more jewellery. Thanks Karen for being a great teacher and being patient!

Karen took us step by step through the process for making a silver ring. She was so patient and imparted her knowledge in an understated way but got everyone to make a ring they were really happy with! Thank you for a fabulous day!

We had an amazing time celebrating my sisters birthday, so much fun having all the girls together not only making a beautiful one of a kind ring but also making memories to last a lifetime. Will definitely be returning to check out one of the other jewellery workshops.
