“Thank you again for today, I loved it. I would recommend your workshop to anyone, whether they love seaglass or not. You are so friendly and welcoming and have a lovely way of explaining it all step by step. I enjoyed the whole process. It’s so exciting to make my very own piece of seaglass jewellery! The whole experience was fun, informative and rewarding. I reckon you are a born instructor!

  • Natasha was really helpful in ensuring my ring was the right size for me. The ring is beautiful and well made. I would and have recommended her jewellery to others.

    - Sarah

  • I really enjoyed the wonderful workshop with Tasha from Severina Seaglass. Its the first time I've ever done any silversmithing. Tasha calmly took us through the process with clear instructions and guidance. I am really pleased with the silver ring I made. I used a piece of found crockery that I brought with me but others used beautiful seaglass that Tasha provided. We had a lovely day and went home happy with our finished pieces.
