“I had the best time creating this ring under Marcus’ tutelage. From a blob of silver, we melted, rolled, cut, filed, polished and created something that l absolutely love! Marcus is patient and encouraging and engenders great enthusiasm for the task at hand.
Treat yourself to this jewellery course! You won’t regret it!”
