A personal recomendation:
" Hi Janet,
I would like to say a Really big thank you for your time on Saturday. I have spoken to everyone individually and they have all had a fantastic time. Your tuition and patience was the recurring theme from the comments by them and all could have sat there all day. I wasn't to sure what to expect when arranging this but you really exceeded my expectations.
I will be passing your details on to others I'm sure.
Many many thanks "

And another:
" Thank you for all of your help and vast amount of knowledge to help me achieve lovely pieces of jewellery. Its a medium I have never worked with and the results are fantastic.
I was wearing my pieces over the past week, both from the first work shop I did with you and last week end. I get so many compliments about them. This includes comments like: "I love your necklace, earrings;" "I like your necklace, the way the silver has been patterned" (with a cocktail stick!) - to my favourite "I want your necklace"!!!! Now isn't that the best compliment you can get. I only told my friends after they had complimented me that I (with your help and knowledge) had made them. I think that compliments like the ones I receive about my finished pieces are definite proof in the pudding that your workshops work - and you can achieve fantastic pieces of jewellery."
