“Ren was perfect. My two 15 year old girls attended with the hope to further their knowledge and confidence in this fabulous craft. They created the most beautiful stone rings. Ren was so patient, explained everything so well and i was blown away that even after our class had run late that she still sat down with us and explained so much more. Ren... my girls so very needed hope and we left not only inspired but they now have a clear vision and know they can bring their dream to life. Thank you”
“I handcrafted a unique bezel ring at TheSilverRen and found it fun and creatively satisfying. I had never worked with metal jewellery before and had no idea what style I wanted to create, but the teacher Ren was very encouraging and the workshop had a relaxed environment. She laid out a wide variety of stones in terms of colour, size, and shape from which to choose and there were also bezel rings already made to view for inspiration.
I wanted to include a silver surround for my bezel (see picture), and stamped on a test copper strip for practice and ideas. Inspiration for a design came from working with the metal, and I not only stamped a pattern on the surround "top", but also stamped some words inside the ring to make it very personal.
Ren took me through all of the process steps with clear explanations and guidance, and provided the rewarding experience of developing new skills and creating a unique piece of jewellery. I highly recommend Ren at TheSilverRen for silver ring workshops.”
“The teacher is excellent at her skills, kind and patient. I had a wonderful time in this workshop, learnt a lot. What a great experience. I made a beautiful ring which I am proud to wear every day. Highly recommend this workshop.”
“My husband and I received a gift card for Christmas, and chose this class. We had a great day with Ren and learnt a lot. She was very helpful with the creative process and gave us lots of advice about taking up silver jewellery as a hobby. Thank you Ren!”
