Our Reviews

  • “I had the most amazing afternoon in the Wagtail workshop with James Deakin. I learnt loads about designing and making jewellery. James helped me make a beautiful silver bumble bee pendant and several cool silver rings. I didn’t think it was possible to make jewellery out of an old silver tea spoon! I can’t believe I achieved so much in just a few hours: designing, cutting, melting, casting, soldering, finishing and polishing silver. I loved it! 


    My favourite bit was making a sand mould cast and then pouring in liquid silver to create my own personalised bee necklace pendant. I can’t wait to go back again and make something else! James made it such a fun experience.”
