“We loved our jewellery workshop with Julia at Wilderness Festival. She helped us create some lovely pendants… it was a perfect little memento to walk away with, would thoroughly recommend it”

MELISSA COLLINS – PR MANAGER RIVER ISLAND

“Julia patiently guided us through all the steps involved and it was a very meaningful moment when we soldered the gold into actual rings. It was fantastic to be able to exchange rings on our wedding day that we had made for each other, rather than something mass-produced and bought in a High Street shop.”

M. GEEN

“My husband Dom & I made our wedding rings with Julia’s informative & creative support… An encouraging teacher, guiding us gently in getting it right. What a magical, unique & truly personal experience it was to fashion our wedding rings for one another, such a beautiful & intimate process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Julia and her workshops to anyone.”

“We made our weddings rings on a brilliant day with Julia! We loved the process of creating our own bespoke rings. Julia was fantastic, helping us every step of the way making the day exciting and fun. Thank you!”

– M. ROWCLIFFE

“We are so pleased that we found Julia. It was a very big decision to make our own wedding rings. We had never done anything like this before. The one thing we were sure of was that we wanted them to be personal to us and very special. It is three months since we married and I enjoy and love every moment I look at my ring. Julia guided us through the design and making of our rings using her skills and experience whilst enabling us to be totally involved. Our expectations and wishes were excelled and we will always remember that very special day we spent with Julia in her amazing workshop in a lovely part of Somerset.”

– K. TOWERS
