Me and my new fiancé had a great time at Nadia's workshop creating our own custom designed engagement rings! It was a great experience, Nadia was very calm and patient in teaching us the basics of sculpting the wax casts, and talked us through all the processes and options. The 3 hours flew by! I finished my design and am very happy with it. My partner had brought some sapphires to cast in the wax, but this proved beyond our capabilities! So we left the shaped wax cast with Nadia, and she finished inlaying the stones. Can't wait to see the finished rings!

I enjoyed the workshop with Nadia and Luke, it was lovely time in a cosy and inspirational lab.
They were very flexible and considering, I couldn't arrive at the time due to transport delays but they gave me more time to finish my jewellery piece even after the workshop officially ended. Also due to my weak English I was a bit worried if I'm going to face any difficulties in understanding or communication but they were very articulate in a simple way. Thank you Nadia and Luke!
