A wonderful memory - I came with my mom and we had the best time crafting our own rings from start to finish. Our instructor, Pamela, was the sweetest person, and we loved chatting with other visitors as well as locals taking the class. We left not only with two beautiful Claddagh rings, but also with a wonderful memory and story to go with them. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dublin (and even locals!).

Trust the process! - Brilliant - really interesting to see how the rings are made and very hands-on. The ladies were very clear and reassuring, knowing they don't look great midway through and that's OK, and the rings turned out really well! The only thing I would mention is that the address is wrong on the tickets - it's on George's St, not Drury St. Fantastic experience, really recommended. A ring you've made yourself is very meaningful!

Great time - This was a very unique experience that I enjoyed very much. The girls who ran it are excellent at what they do. The price for what you get is good and you spend about an hour and a half there which is perfect. I would highly recommend this if you’re looking for something sentimental to bring home from Ireland.

Schedule this early during your trip - I'll start by saying I had a good time and the rings we made are pretty. For the amount of money this was ($315), I wish we would have skipped this. Other things we did in Ireland were engaging with historic and cultural highlights or a deep dive into whatever speciality was being demonstrated. This experience didn't really have that. Active time I was working on my ring was about 15m total. Its done in phases, but that's it. You cut, bend, and hammer. During the downtime, you kinda sit in awkward silence chatting with whomever you came with or possibly others in the class. I would have appreciated more facts, cool stories, history of the Claddagh symbol, how they got into jewelry making, jewelry history, anything really. That being said, this is a good activity to schedule early in your trip if you are adjusting to a big timezone change. The downtime may be appreciated more when you're needing less active things to do.
