What should I wear?

Working with you hands can get messy, I advise you don't wear your best clothes to class (aprons will be provided). Wear something comfortable but not too loose (fire hazard) and no sandals and open toe shoes please and long hair must be tied back.

I'm booking for a party, are we aloud alcohol?

You are aloud to bring a bottle of bubbles to pop for at the end of the workshop, for  health and safety no alcohol can be consumed during the workshop.

What time should I arrive?

Please try to arrive 5 - 10 minutes before the start of your class so you have time to settle in. Please don’t arrive before this as I may still be setting up the studio. The class will start promptly so please try to be on time. If you are running late, just let Rebecca know.

I'm interested in booking a wedding ring workshop how does it work?

This workshop gives you exclusive use of the workshop to make your completely unique wedding rings and expert tuition from Rebecca. The experience starts with an initial consultation to discuss options, size your fingers, find the right styles for you, decide on what materials you wish to use and get your workshop date booked in. On the day of the workshop you will begin with practice rings in silver so you feel at ease when working on the real thing! Included in the price is an afternoon tea box from a local catering company for you and your partner to share on lunch. At the end of the workshop you get a Rebecca Oldfield Jewellery wedding ring box to keep them safe in until the big day and a glass of bubbles to celebrate.

Are there any additional prices for the workshops?

For the wedding ring workshops the additional prices are discussed at the initial consultation - the workshop cost does not include material for the wedding rings (e.g. gold), hallmarking, engraving or stone setting. 

Are there any discounts?

There are discounts available for group booking (5+ participants) use the workshop booking form to find out more and for combining 2 - 3 workshops into a full day making.
