• 5/5 from Lesley Baker, attended Sep 2024: I would like to highly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in creating their own ring with meaning, I did have an idea on what I wanted to create. It was a great day in the Blue Mountains. Fran knew her stuff and was a gracious host. I didn't realise the equipment or technique needed to make a simple ring and Fran had multiple of all the needed so we were all working at the same pace but had personalised attention. I will be signing up for further classes
• 5/5 from Kelly Peterson, attended May 2024: A group of friends. Had a private class with Fran. We had a great day! Enjoyed learning how to make the silver ring and then keep what we made. Fran was fun and knowledgeable and very helpful. Would recommend this to anyone that wants to spend 5 hours with friends, learn something new and take a silver ring home afterwards.

• 5/5 from Marita Fegan, attended Mar 2023: My partner and I LOVED this class and are so happy with the rings we made! Fran is an excellent teacher and provided us with all the guidance and help that we needed to make some lovely rings. Neither of us had any metalworking experience and yet Fran was able to teach us how to make our rings in just a few hours! The location is lovely, her home has a beautiful garden and she has two lovely pets. I would highly recommend this class as a gift to a loved one or a fun activity to do with friends. Thanks so much Fran!
• 5/5 from Abbie-Rose Anya, attended Jan 2023: I had an amazing time! I learnt so much about ring making, and it was very hands on. Going home with something that you made yourself for the first time was such a good feeling, and the teacher was very helpful and welcoming.

• 5/5 from Mylie Jersey, attended Nov 2022: Fran is an excellent teacher, it was a fabulous day, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am thrilled with my ring and the fact that I was able to make it myself. Fran is very encouraging and helpful. The venue is a delight. Beautifully set up with lots of art everywhere, lots of light, a great view and a snoring dog for ambience. Fran's letter of what to bring was excellent. Every other course I've done something is left off, but Fran's was perfect even reminding us to bring reading glasses for close up work. I will definitely do more of her classes.

Her witty remarks throughout the day were also very entertaining! I highly recommend taking any lesson with Fran.
• 5/5 from Elizabeth Bestow, attended Apr 2022: Fran knows how to run a workshop for complete beginners, years of teaching experience make her calm and encouraging.
