Helen has a brilliant knack of enabling you to feel safe and inspired to crack on and make. She integrates the learning and showing you how to do things with such ease that you don’t feel as if you are being ‘taught’ - you can simply enjoy yourself and shape the materials under her guidance.

It was my first time working with silver and all the various tools and Helen really made it so easy to get going. She helped me to solve problems when I made mistakes, explained the science behind the soldering process, and we had some great laughs. Helen teaches silversmithing techniques that stay with you.
