my artisan hub

Had a session with Jessie earlier today and happily recommend to all to give metalsmithing a try! The rare few teachers around who genuinely share the art and joy of of their craft. Excited to come back for other classes and also to work on my own projects.

A wonderful experience. We went in the first day with just a pint of an idea and Jessie was able to bring it to life for us. We were shown the best method to go about making our idea a reality with some greats insights from Jessie. The next day we came in and all the gear was ready for us. The workshop had super flexible time slots so we could really fit it into any part of our day. We were provided with all the materials we needed and let work away with Jessie giving the odd word of advice to help us along. Ended up with a better product than I could have dreamed of, over the moon with the result. 10/10 would recommend

Lovely studio and the workshop, nice vibes , easy to follow instruction. Jessie is very kind, highly recommended to learn something new or if you want an activity that will make you disconnect for some time

It was a really fun and hands on workshop! We didn’t know what to expect, but Jessie was great at leading through the different steps of the workshop while making sure we had enough time and where happy with our progress. We left with two beautiful rings and a new friend.

Jessie is such a wonderful and interactive instructor. The metal smith class is a absolute joy to take, even when I have 2 left feet when it comes to crafting: and being a southpaw! The Artisan Hub is such a wonderful creative space. Easy to get to with ample parking. So just let your creativity loose and hammer away! Love!

I walked into this ring-making workshop expecting a fun afternoon, but what I experienced was so much more than that. Three hours that felt like thirty minutes - in the best possible way. From the moment we started, Jessie's instruction was crystal clear and easy to follow. No confusing jargon, no rushed explanations. Just straightforward guidance that made me feel capable and confident, even as someone with zero metalworking experience. The pacing was perfect, giving us enough time to really focus on each step while keeping momentum going. But what truly stood out was the experience itself. There's something incredibly grounding about actually making something with your hands. Watching my ring take shape in real time, and the metal transform into something I created and could actually wear was incredibly cathartic. It was therapeutic in a way I didn't expect. This workshop offered something increasingly rare: the chance to truly shut off the world. My friend and I left feeling recharged, proud, and already talking about going back. If you're looking for a way to disconnect, create something meaningful, and spend time doing something genuinely fulfilling, I can't recommend this workshop highly enough. Jessie made it memorable, and the rings we made are a lasting reminder of a perfect afternoon.
