Testimonials

"Brilliant work, so important to teach these skills and so rewarding for both sides… if only there were more Deirdre's. So good to see, I have such admiration for what you are doing."

Theo Fennell , Society Jeweller London

"I have the greatest respect for what Deirdre O'Donnell is doing. Basic skills, well taught are the cornerstone of good jewellery making and there is no quick fix. Really good skills are harder to acquire, and that is what this course offers. What Deirdre is doing is great for the trade and for those that want to learn with a real depth of ability"
