My girlfriend and I had a great time! The instructor was very nice and helped us make some beautiful rings. This was a very fun course and I would definitely do it again. Would highly recommend!
-
Ayaka was a pleasure! The class was fun and unique, and I got it as a surprise for my fiancé, who said it was much more enjoyable than a cooking class (which I later revealed that I considered getting instead).
We were the only two doing the one-day jewelry class, but other attendees were in advanced workshops at the school. So it was also really cool to see what they were making and to aspire to more advanced studies if we wanted to sign up for more classes. I thought the ring we made was super cute!
-
Super nice instructor & great class environment. Highly recommend!

This class was a lot of fun! It’s a small group setting so it’s easy to ask questions and have the teacher review your ring every step of the way! I went solo but a couple was also in the group and made rings for each other (so cute). The class does take the full three hours which honestly flew by. You get to select silver or brass, the texture of your ring, what message you want stamped on the inside, and the color diamond. I’ll definitely be going back for other classes!

My aunt and I were in the city for a weekend, and this class was perfect! The instructor was kind, patient, and so skilled. We will have our rings to remember our trip forever!
-
The course was amazing !!! I really enjoyed it and I love the ring I was able to make in the time. I also learned a lot from the very talented , patient and helpful instructor .
-
Very good experience.

The teacher was nice and patient. She provided all the equipment we needed. There was enough time to work on the ring without any pressure. The downside was that we all made the same ring (there were 3 options that were pretty similar to each other). I didn't like the design she offered us to choose from so in the end, I made a ring that I didn't like from the beginning. I believe the reason was that it was our first experience so she chose an easier technique.
-
Instructor was fabulous and very patient with us. Fellow students were encouraging, nice and friendly as well! Had a blast with our first time making jewelry! Would love to come back again!
-
I took the class with my 19 year old daughter. We had a great time. The instructor was very nice and patient. She was very helpful. We each now have a beautiful ring to wear.
-
Excellent introductory course. The instructor was patient, competent, and catered to our desires. For a first-time jewelry making course, this is excellent! Would highly recommend.
-
The teacher was very kind, she paid attention to everyone. We all made the same ring and I prefer to make a ring that looks quite different from the one we made, but there were no other options (other than the width of the ring)
-
This class was awesome! You can make your own customized diamond ring (metal - brass or silver), you can choose diamond color, and ring size / width / texture. Ayaka was really knowledgeable and sweet. The small touches to this whole experience made it even better - there were long-term students making their own jewelry to the side and it was nice to kind of see their work. Ayaka provided green tea, snacks, and slippers. Felt really welcoming and comfortable. I only wish we were able to solder and form the ring ourselves, but perhaps that is too hard for a beginner so some steps Ayaka did for us. Would take more courses if I could!
-
This was a very fun and informative class for beginners.
-
It was incredible. The teacher is amazing, patient and SO kind! The result is gorgeous! Thank you!!!!

I definitely enjoyed the class. I liked that it was small, and I had a measure of independence as I learned. Ayaka is also very sweet and patient. I would love to another one of her classes in the near future! Thanks again!
-
Ayaka is a wonderful knowledgeable jeweler and instructor. She is patient and takes time with each student. I very much enjoyed the class and love the ring I made. I plan to take more classes with her.

Very fun, great group of people. There definitely is downtime in the class, but it's still a great way to learn and take something home!

I loved the atmosphere, what we learned, and the finished product. Now I’m left wanting more!

My friend and I took it together and it was a ton of fun! We love our rings! The instructor and her assistant did all the soddering (with a blow torch) which I didn't mind so much considering I have no idea what I'm doing.
The instructor is super talented and you can view and purchase her amazing pieces towards the front of the studio.

I am very disappointed in this class. While the description said premium materials could be purchased, I was only given the options of silver and brass. 4 other students from other courses were there and we were all competing for the instructors attention. I sat, waiting for what to do next for most of the class, and ended up being pretty much self directed or on my phone. The instructor does the welding and diamond setting for you - all you do is saw a metal sheet, stamp your initials and polish the ring. I am so disappointed I spent so much money to have a disappointing experience and a ring that turns my finger green. The teacher is very nice but she didn’t actually teach me anything.

Great introduction to the world of jewelry design and creation! It's an intimate school/shop setting so you get to really interact with Ayaka and her team. Totally recommend and will return for more classes!
-

It was a really enjoyable course and it was a lovely thing to do with a friend, we each have a have lovely diamond ring memento of the occasion.

Loved loved loved it! Fun and educational with great instructors and fellow classmates. Cool atmosphere and great location. Will keep on list of things to do with friends in future!
-
-
Great class. All materials provided. Good for beginners who want a taste of Metalsmithing or anyone who just wants a pretty ring.
-
Loved! A great experience on all levels, who is a total pleasure, I got so much out of it in terms of learning as well as a beautiful piece of jewelry that I made myself!
-

Ayaka and her assistant were both really helpful and supportive. The ring came out precious and it was an overall fun time and memorable experience!
-
-
Enjoyed it a lot! Do wish I could have had the chance to do the actual soldering and stone setting. Either way it was fairly easy to follow and was happy to complete the ring!

This class was fantastic! I’m typing this review while wearing my lovely new ring. There are several ways you can customize the ring you make. You choose what metal you’ll be working with, how thick the band is, what you want to stamp inside as well as the font, the finish of the metal (smooth or textured), and the color of the diamond. Everything was explained well and the teacher and her assistant were super helpful and also were able to answer all questions I had during class. I would HIGHLY recommend this class!!
-
-
Harder than we thought it would be, but the owner and her assistant could not have been more helpful!

I enjoyed the class and the studio a lot, Ayaka was very patient. I’ve taken another ring making class in the city and this one is cool because you learn how to do a tube setting. Only downside was I was the only person there for the 1 day class and there were a bunch of students there for the course so at times I’d have to wait around or ask for instruction on what to do next which was awkward. Other than that I loved it!
-
-
Great class! Instructor very knowledgeable. Even if you have never made a piece of jewelry you will leave with a finished piece and feel quite accomplished. Would recommend this class... even if it’s just for a day out!

Ayaka made sure the final product turned out great. The studio is small but well-equipped. The course is based mainly on independent work, but help is always available from Ayaka when needed. I’d love to go back!
-
Akaya is incredibly patient and so creative. I’d definitely take another class with her if I could!
-
Loved the class. I thought it would be fun to try something different. Definitely recommended.

This class was great. When I showed up, I realized it was just me, so I got personal attention! I left with a stunning ring that I will actually wear, and I feel like I understand the fundamentals of working with metal enough to decide whether or not I want to pursue the hobby.
-
Lots of fun!

My friend and I had an amazing time in this class! A truly hands-on experience that teaches you a lot in a short period of time!
-
Such a fun time! I look forward to more classes like this in the future.
