I would highly recommend Naomi's 'Jewellery making for the soul' workshop. It was a wonderful experience as she encouraged all participants to pursue our own ideas and supported us in making them come to life. The small class meant we got one on one support, and Naomi ensured we all finished at least one piece of jewellery by the end of the day- many of us produced more than this!

I was lucky to have my first experience in jewellery making with Naomi. It was a beautiful journey. She not only introduced me to techniques essential for good making but a spiritual process much in keeping with my own values and practise. She talked about 'getting into the flow of joy' and providing a 'container or safe holding zone' for us to play. I certainly felt fully supported - I could have kept making another 6 hours! I was so excited to complete four beautiful silver and copper pieces to take home and wear straight away. She was so patient as I snapped the blades a number of times! Her delight and passion was also infectious and the whole day was so lovely and immersive in her studio and home. I highly recommend the experience! A number of my friends are signing up for the next one.

Naomi's workshop, Jewellery Making for the Soul - A Day of Play, was held in her lovely studio in the Adelaide HIlls. Even the drive there was inspiring!! It's been 25+ years since I did a short jewellery-making class, so I was keen to refresh my unused skills, and I liked the idea of 'play' and no pressure to produce. Naomi is a patient and enthusiastic teacher - she taught us a range of skills and techniques, then encouraged us to take them wherever we wanted. It felt very freeing to go into a workshop with hardly any expectations, except to be exploring, but to go home with several finished pieces! I came away feeling really proud of my achievements after a very enjoyable day.

Naomi welcomes you into her studio with genuine warmth and makes you immediately feel at home. Her knowledge of the techniques she teaches is first rate, she guides but allows for each student to express themselves, but still within manageable boundaries. Her desire is for everyone to have a successful day and this was certainly true. She was calmly energetic, encouraging and gave her total attention to all students. I highly recommend taking a class with Naomi.
