    An 6/5 Experience.

    Adam_T, Apr 2026
    Frederico is an absolute sweetheart with lots to share about his life and the city. He's also a very patient and effective teacher. And I would give him 5 stars just for all that. But I would give him a sixth star if I could because he also cared a lot about making sure we both got to make rings even after our first attempts catastrophically failed during casting. I would absolutely take other classes taught by Frederico if for no other reason than to spend time with him.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    My dearest, it was a pleasure meeting you. I'm happy to have left you a beautiful memory in your jewelry. I will always carry your sixth star with me, in my heart!

    Wonderful!

    This was such a wonderful time and I highly recommend it for a unique and lasting experience in your travels!

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Dear Maria, thank you so much for your kind words. I was delighted to host you and was very pleased with the jewel you created!

    Experience of a lifetime

    Linnea_T, Sep 2025
    A truly special and memorable experience that perfectly captured Florence culture! Federico is not only an amazing artist himself, but a great teacher (not all artists can teach well, but he was patient, clear, and encouraging). The timing of the jewelry class was perfect - 3 or so hours to work on your piece and then time to discuss art, Florence, and whatever else that came up over a drink at a near by cafe. It’s great that he allows you some independence in choosing and creating your design. I now have one of the best memories and souvenirs of my time in Florence. So very grateful for the opportunity.

    Thank you so much, dear. I'm so happy to have left you with such a beautiful memory! ...I'll remember you fondly too.

    Excellent experience and a beautiful pendant

    Unique jewelry making method and a beautiful pendant as result. A little challenging to think of a design but quite fun to see the whole process. The post casting aperitivo was a unique time to have a conversation with Federico, our teacher

    Amazing!

    Federico did an amazing job teaching about the history and everything about cutterfish and his experience with it. Guaranteed gonna recommend to my friends

    Thank you very dear I'm happy for your words, it was a pleasure to spend some time with you.

    Sooooo Grateful!

    Sara_T, Sep 2023
    Highly recommend this experience. Federico is an extremely genuine, kind, supportive and talented teacher! Instruction was incredible and I felt encouraged to be creative and try new skills. The results are fantastic and to be able to come home with a piece of beautiful jewelry that I made with Federico’s instruction is priceless! Again, I highly recommend this experience. It is doable no matter what your skill level.

    Response from Host, Nov 2023

    Dear Sara, thank you immensely for your appreciation that fills me with joy and energy. It was a pleasure to meet you and be able to share my passion with you. Thanks again for your words! A dear greeting! Federico

    OMG! Completely amazing experience!

    Biren_C, Apr 2022
    This was the best experience in all of Italy! In 3 hours, we were able to make a ring that is wearable, authentic silver, and completely the envy of everyone in our group. Signor Federico was a patient teacher. He is very passionate about his work and he loves to pass on his knowledge. My teen son and I absolutely loved this experience. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Federico is available other days to book as well than the ones listed. We wear our jewelery every day.

    Response from Host, May 2022

    Thanks for your words dear Biren, it was a pleasure to meet you and spend time with you. Your son was really good and passionate! A dear greeting Federico
