Bush Jewellery Studio

About

Bush Jewellery offers off-road practical jewellery tuition.

Story

Classes are offered when planets coincide. Short classes for boys, girls, kids+grannies, rapid 1hr rings for everyone, wedding rings for couples to make together, classes for building prescription eyeglass frames.
A special area is custom tuition: a course of sessions at a time that suits you and at your pace. You tell me what you want to cover, how important things are, show me what you already do well and I try to fit my tuition into what you already know.
