Loved this workshop!. Shirley Wu is a wonderful instructor with lots of patience. She explains and demonstrates the process and allows you to get creative while providing just enough assistance where required. A great way to get creative with jewellery making using organic media with great results.Will definitely do another workshop!
Thank you Shirley for creating such a calming relaxing Casting Nature Into Silver Workshop atmosphere. You were very informative and your step by step process was very easy to follow. Will definitely come back & do the silver ring making class.
Cannot rave enough about this class and the gorgeous Shirley. Amazing talent and what a great idea for to democratise jewellery making for the community. Everything is curated and organised to make memories and an experience well worth the time and $$ investment - who doesn’t want to make their own piece of art to wear!! Go generous with sharing your expertise and allowing everyone to experience the addictive nature of bling and creating something special (and experience you’ll remember). What a concept!!
She's so detailed with the process i never felt left behind! So many little options given. Such a vibe. Gorgeous sun-drenched studio in the city.Such a pro- so impressed. Wow
This was my second time visiting Shirley’s studio for a ring making class, I had to come back again after the first time because I loved everything about this activity. The process, the creativity, learning a new craft, especially when you have a wonderful artist guiding you throughout the process. I took friends as birthday gifts separately, which has created a special memory for us all.
I booked a ring making class with Shirley for 3 people to celebrate a friend's birthday and it was fantastic! She was very thorough with her explanation of the process, and we were able to follow along easily despite never working with silver clay or making jewelry before! Thankyou Shirley! This was a fantastic opportunity and I recommend this workshop to anyone looking to make a ring! Shirley will absolutely help you get the jewelry piece you are looking for
Went with my daughter in law and had a great time. Shirley was excellent and gave ideas and suggestions but allowed us the scope to develop our own ‘creativity’. The small class size made it friendly with plenty of laughter. Loved all of it and can’t wait to see the finished ring. Thanks Shirley
My friend Chloe and I joined the silver ring making class on Friday night and it was such an enjoyable evening! Our instructor, Shirley, was amazingly friendly, patient and knowledgeable, guiding us through every step of the process. She went above and beyond for us by making sure our rings were ready before my friend flew back interstate. We are both obsessed with our rings and we can’t recommend this class enough! Thanks Shirley!
Booked with my MIL for her birthday and it was the perfect present for a crafty / creative person. Such a beautiful space & Shirley was really informative, warm and made the whole experience really fun! The intimate class size made it much easier to learn and still be independent. Definitely recommend
Shirley is a lovely teacher, calm and clear, very well prepared. We learnt how to make organic silver rings with embedded stones. Shirley led the workshop beautifully and we learnt so much.
Our teacher was very knowledgeable on ring making and design. She was so friendly and patient. My daughter and I were very pleased with the beautiful rings created in this Class. Thank you!
Cannot recommend this class enough. You could either use your own item or one of the objects provided. Shirley made it easy enough so that everyone could produce something spectacular. Definitely worth your time.
This was a gift for my daughter’s birthday and we loved the class and the outcome. You are never sure if you have enough creative ideas to make something so pretty but Shirley is so good at explaining the process it was easy, immersive and something I highly recommend and will do again.
Highly recommend this workshop! My friends and I booked a private ring-making class, and it was such a fun and memorable experience.Shirley was an amazing instructor, so warm, patient, and encouraging. She explained each step clearly and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the process.We’d happily do another class with Shirley in the future!
Such a great class! Shirley is a great teacher, so knowledgeable, super patient and makes it so easy to follow along. Made rings that we will keep forever!! Thank you and see you again soon! :):)
What a great experience! Shirley was excellent at creating a great atmosphere for learning such an intricate skill along with providing creative inspiration. Would recommend to anyone wanting to do something creative with a loved one, plus you get to keep it forever!
An absolutely beautiful experience! I booked this class with my best friend ahead of her moving overseas. We wanted to create a special piece of jewellery for each other that would serve as a reminder of our friendship and closeness (despite the distance). The resulting rings are so so perfect, but more importantly, the time we got to spend together in the class with Shirley and the other attendees was actually so special, something we could not have anticipated. Forever grateful for this new skill (amazing teacher!), as well as our new keepsakes. Highly recommend as a best friend or partner date!
I could not recommend this experience more. Shirley was extremely polite and knowledgeable in the area and provided any support or encouragement needed in the session. I could not be happier with the ring I can now wear every day filled with memories and so much love. I will definitely be returning!
We had such a fantastic time making our rings with Shirley Wu Jewellery. Shirley was very knowledgeable and encouraged us to play, test and think outside the box to create beautiful, meaningful jewellery. She supported us in incorporating my daughter’s late grandmothers stones, fixing our errors and seeing beauty in organic materials.
This is the second workshop I’ve done and thoroughly had a good time. Shirley is so helpful and you know the amount of things that we learnt was amazing that we are gonna book in for another one so totally recommend.
So glad I booked in - Shirley is a great teacher who is welcoming, patient and such an amazing artist. You get the perfect amount of material to use so there are no extra hidden fees, can add as many gemstones as you want and there's every colour of the rainbow to choose from. The Fleurieu Arthouse was a great venue especially considering that you can have something to eat and drink at the pub nextdoyor while you wait for your rings to be fired. It's hard to find quality rings at this price point so considering you get professional expertise, a day of entertainment and take home a fully personalised ring the same day makes it incredible value for money. I would book in again & recommend it highly
I really enjoyed the Silver Clay workshop. Shirley was very friendly and explained everything clearly. I’m very happy with what I made. Thank you – I’ll definitely come back!
This was great! I went to a class with my family and it was a lovely time. Shirley was a great teacher and it was easy to follow. We were all happy with the rings we made and all said that we would love to do it again.
Shirley was very helpful and generous with her knowledge and instructions. The class was really enjoyable, it was great to be able to make a lovely ring.
This class was perfect - a relaxed environment with a well prepared class full of useful tools and inspiration pieces, and most importantly calm supportive guidance from Shirley. We had tricky designs and Shirley took the time to ensure we had beautiful finished pieces.
Another fabulous session with the talented and lovely Shirley Wu. She very generously shares her knowledge and is encouraging in a fun session. Loved it
I received this class as a gift which was easy to redeem. Went with a group of friends and we all enjoyed the class. Shirley was friendly, informative and gave clear instructions, which helped as we were all beginners in ring making. A very organised and fun class.
We absolutely loved our workshop with Shirley! We were welcomed right from the start and guided in a fun and gentle way by Shirley to create our individual pieces. The process of making the rings was simple yet very engaging, and with room to individualise and create something really special. Shirley is a kind and generous soul who is very generous in sharing her knowldege and expertise. I would definitely recommend doing her workshops.
This was such a fun and informative class, Shirley was an amazing teacher, she has so much knowledge and I loved the way she taught, showing us step by step. My husband and I both made beautiful rings and I can’t wait to wear them.
A lovely afternoon activity with my daughter. Shirley was great and explained all the steps clearly.There was a very wide variety of gems to choose from and the rings came out great.
Excellent workshop, Shirley was very knowledgeable about her craft, her technical skills in teaching first timers in jewellery making was exceptional. Had a great time sculpting my first jewellery and enjoyed in laying the gems spontaneously loved it. What a commendable workshop thank you Shirley will see you again.
I thoroughly enjoyed the organic silver ring workshop today. Our teacher Shirley Wu was wonderful, she was clear with her step by step instructions and ensured that we were all successful with our ring making.. the workshop was relaxing and I look forward to going to a future class..
As a crafty person I've done many classes over the years and this was one of the best ever. Shirley's calming instructions and ideas were brilliant. It was very rewarding to be able to create a one off item of jewellery which I love. Can't rate Shirley's class highly enough - I'll definitely be back for more!
Shirley was knowledgeable and a great person to spend an afternoon with. Fun group of people coming together to learn and experience the art of casting. Highly recommend.
A huge, warm thank you to @shirleywu.jewellery for designing and delivering such an informative and intuitive Organic Silver Ring Making Class!Shirley was incredibly talented at giving clear instructions with the right balance of background context, while also massaging the space to encourage creativity, experimentation and participants to embrace the perfect imperfectness of handcrafted art. We felt safe to make mistakes, which can be a hard environment to cultivate within a short workshop!Shirley was also extremely generous with sharing her wisdom and experiences as a multidisciplinary artist. My fiancée walked away feeling very excited and inspired to learn more about jewellery making—something she’s been wanting to dive into for a long time now, but where do you start?! Shirley Wu, that’s where.We learned how to keep our silver clay the right consistency throughout the different stages of making, how to safely embed different cuts and sizes of stones (mostly cubic zirconia), how to troubleshoot common problems, and our creations were fired and ready for collection the same day!Highly recommend attending one of Shirley's workshops, giving her socials a follow, and perusing her creations.
Another fabulous workshop with Shirley. She's an enthusiastic, friendly and warm person who shares her extensive knowledge generously. The venue at McLaren Vale was also great. Highly recommend.
Shirley Wu, our instructor, was so kind and patient and made the experience so much fun. We made our silver clay rings and the process was so calming and fun, great excuse to be creative and be in the city!
