Jewellery Making Classes

In 2017, Mandy relocated to larger, brighter premises, allowing her to host more of her popular jewellery-making classes. Unlike many, she doesn't require a minimum number of attendees, offering both group and one-to-one lessons. Mandy also runs drop-in classes during half-term and school holidays, along with offering repairs, birthday parties, and hen parties. She will also travel if needed.
