Tutor Course Notes
-
As Bespoke courses are individually tailored to suit you, castings and stones which are essential for practise are not included in the course fee. This is because you may like to bring your own items and stones to set.
-
If you prefer to buy stones and silver casting to practise setting direct from the tutor you must make a request IN ADVANCE of your course, so that the tutor can order them for you.

I have no hesitation in recommending the Stonesetting workshop with Nigel.

The course was organised well, met all of my needs and the teaching was at just the right level for me.

He provides lots of direction, guidance and encouragement which help you to achieve your goals and also provides information that will help you to take your new found skills forward.

I Would rate the course as Excellent!
I really enjoyed it, it was an intense learning experience, and its hard to put a price in learning from such a skilled stone setter, one to one.
Nigel was a really fantastic and patient teacher, he took time to explain and answer all of my many questions.
