Nina is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced tutor, not stuck rigidly within the norm, but willing to allow students to experiment with projects that are outside the usual ring, bangle, brooch and chain mode.
She advises, motivates and is quite willing to brainstorm an idea for whatever project you choose to embark on and will sometimes do the research for you if you are having trouble.
Her classes are calm, absorbing and fun and you will find yourself totally involved in your project with a very competent tutor that certainly knows her stuff.
If you having any idea to make jewellery, definitely come here. Here is where you can explore every possibility. Good to have a teacher next to you and give you some advice.
Best workshop I’ve been to; great atmosphere, equipment, very knowledgeable and friendly tutors, love LJW
