WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Course Feedback
It was absolutely great, thank you. I really enjoyed it and learnt so much from Nigel.
The one-to-one working style really suits my needs as it gave me the opportunity to ask lots of questions and Nigel was so helpful and gave me advice where needed.
I now feel much more confident with how stones are set and have the foundations to practice this on my own with a comprehensive list of stone setting tools that Nigel gave me to help develop my work.
I'd love to do another course with Nigel at some point next year which I mentioned to him too so I will be in touch once I have a think about what I'd like to learn.
I'd give the course 5 stars - Excellent
