Testimonials

Lorraine Gwinnutt

Davina is one of those rare people who is really good at passing on her skills. Her courses are challenging but still achievable, very creative and rewarding. Highly ecommended!

Frances Morris

I attended both the basic and advance workshops. Davina is a skilled teacher and has the ability to guide you in crafting jewellery and manipulating silver wire to your will. While intensely informative, Davinas’ workshops was enveloped in a warm and friendly atmosphere, with her information and methods clear and concise, yet easy to follow. And as Davina will tell you, your skill and ability will grow as you practice.
