What our students say

I’ve been silversmithing as a hobby for for 40 years and I learnt so much from you in the short time we had together. You’re so talented and innovative, and I can’t wait to come to the next class session.

Becky has given me the confidence to develop skills that I never imagined I would acquire. She is always willing to share her expertise and support new ideas, helping students to grow at their own pace.
All of this has been achieved in a safe and friendly environment where expert guidance, experimentation and free expression go hand in hand.

Beck is a wonderful tutor and I found myself feeling very welcomed and looked after, which is a major plus for me. Her method of teaching is very informative both physically and visually. I would highly recommend her whether you are a beginner or someone looking to learn new methods as she is extremely knowledgeable on a vast array of techniques.
