Excellent class, must try!! - This is definitely a must try when in Florence. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Prior to getting there, Dorthe provided clear instructions and helped us organise transportation from the centre. She then carefully explained the whole process whilst giving us full freedom on what we wanted to make. 10/10 experience definitely something you need to do and the views were stunning too!

Make a unique piece of handcrafted jewerly as a momemto of your trip to Italy! - Last year, while visiting Tuscany, we met a couple that had just come from this experience. They said great things about it and recommended it. So i made it a priority to go do it on my next visit. My mom and I did the class together. We had a wonderful experience. It was just the 2 of us, which was perfect. Dorthe was a knowledgeable and lovely instructor. I had brought old broken jewerly that we were able to melt and use to make a new memory/piece of jewerly. Dorthe served us a nice charcuterie board and beverages during our class which was a tasty treat to keep us working hard to finish our jewelry period I made a bracelet and rings while my mother made a pair of earrings period we will cherish the jewelry as a fine memory of our trip to Tuscany period and Dorthe, was a wonderful instructor and host I recommend this class to make a memory while on vacation.

Fun jewelry making class - This class was so much fun to do as a group! We got to each make our own unique piece of jewelry. Each step of the way we were shown how to make it and actual use equipment to make the jewelry ourselves. It was such a unique experience! We loved it!

Perfect day making custom jewelry in Tuscany - Making our own jewelry with Dörthe was the highlight of our trip to Tuscany! She walked us through the whole process from melting silver, working the metal using rollers and hammers and the creation of our final pieces. She was very patient and worked with each of our party of 4 to personalize our creations. The beautiful site and wonderful bread and snacks was the icing on the cake! I would recommend this to anyone that wants to try something new.

Unforgettable Experience - This class was everything I hoped it would be, and more. Dörthe was an excellent host and teacher. She picked up me and my wife at the bus station and drove us to her beautiful home studio. She helped us to make basically exactly what we wanted (hammered rings) and guided us through every step of the process, teaching us a lot about jewelry making (and even some of the science behind it). The final products came out great and are a lovely souvenirs for our time in Tuscany. Definitely one of the coolest things we did in Italy.

The instructor is a master goldsmith, very talented and took time to carefully instruct and guide each of us. We learned a lot. We were a group of 4 people. We reached produced an item.
