This was such a wonderful experience. My kids and I really wanted to do a jewellery making workshop in Florence. However, not many places did day courses or courses for under 18 year olds. We were so happy to find Dörthe's workshop. Not only is she a skilled goldsmith, she is also an excellent teacher and great with kids! Dörthe's jewellery workshop is well designed, it takes you from making sterling silver to creating your own piece of jewellery which you can cherish forever. It is set in the gorgeous hills outside Florence, in a very beautiful workshop. It really is a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a memorable experience near Florence.

I enjoyed the whole process. It was so fun, even the hard parts. The instructor was very knowledgeable and patient. She did an excellent job teaching us. I made earrings and I love the them.

Perfect family experience! Dörthe, the instructor was great. She made sure we had an excellent experience. The pieces of jewelry are beautiful. Our kids enjoyed it a lot, too.

We were unfortunately unable to go to this at the last minute. However, up until that point, the host was very communicative and helpful. If the class was anything like the directions she gave before, it would have been amazing.

What a great find this was. Was looking for something unique to do in Tuscany and this was brilliant. From melting our silver balls to creating a special pair of earrings Dorthe was friendly flexible and hospitable who welcomed us into her home and workshop. Highly recommend this traditional artisan jewellery class. So much fun.

Please know that if you are staying in Florence this activity is not in or very near Florence and probably best attended only if you have a car. I booked this because it looked like a very unique activity for myself and my older kids but after much communication with the artist we were not able to find the correct bus to her location. The artist refused to refund any of our payment. I understand she is an artist and this is her livelihood but I also feel like it was unfair to not refund any of the payment since we were not able to get there based on the information provided. We bought the bus fare and spent 1-2 hours trying to get there. It is unfortunate all the way around but I cannot recommend this activity based on my experience. I wish it had been clear to me how complicated it was to get there (buses are not easy to navigate like trains in Florence).

If ypu want to experience a warm, welcoming, authentic, and extremely awe inspiring experience…. You must go here. The jewelry maker invites you into her home studio and you create real jewelry from melting the silver to design and completion

My daughter and I spent a morning with Dorthe in January. Not only was it a great way to learn about what goes into hand crafted jewelry, but it was a wonderful way to see a bit of the Tuscan countryside beyond the city of Florence proper. Dorthe helped me to make a necklace, and my daughter made a ring. It was a completely hands-on experience from design, pressing the smelted silver into sheets, cutting, adding texture, finishing and polishing. In addition, Dorthe provided us with cappuccino in the morning, and snacks later in the day. We took the bus from Florence, and she picked us up from the little town outside of the city. It was such a fun an memorable experience! I recommend it highly!

Dörthe was so kind, spoke English wonderfully, was clearly skilled in her field, and was a patient teacher. She truly made this day a fun, relaxing experience, while still teaching me start to finish how to make a ring. The snack mid-day included the best cheese I've had in my life and she answered all of my questions about the jewelry-making process and even gave food recommendations for the area.

A fantastic way to spend part of the day. Took the bus from Florence to San Casciano in the morning and Dörthe picked us up there. The drive through the country side was very nice and the views are beautiful. At Dörthe's place she walked us through the forging and creative process. She was very knowledgeable and fun to learn from. I think we'd both love to do it again one day
