Hi, I'm Beccy Gillat and I'm passionate about helping you to discover the wonderful world of jewellery making, silversmithing and more!

I run a number of different jewellery making courses in the beautiful village of Yardley Hastings which is conveniently located within easy reach of Northampton, Milton Keynes and Bedford.

There are courses to suit all levels of ability from complete beginners to those with some experience. One off workshops, multi week courses and 1:1 or private group booking all available, so please do get in touch if you have a specific technique you’d like to learn or special piece you would like to make.

I have years of experience and expertise from not only my studies (BA Metalwork and Jewellery making and MA Goldsmithing, Silversmithing, Metalwork and Jewellery) but also from residential programmes, craft fairs and having my work displayed in art galleries across the world.

The workshop has come a really long way since Yardley Arts first opened 4 years ago. Originally the workshop was set to be a multi-use area and was named the craft room but I slowly took over the space and with my tool addiction and slowly filled the space with lots of kit.

It is a real pleasure to help someone make a piece of jewellery so personal to them that they will wear and treasure for a lifetime. Who knows it might even get passed down to younger family members one day.

Beccy was absolutely lovely, put us both at ease and explained everything to us really well! The end result was gorgeous and great value, and the memory will also be very valuable in the future :)

I bought this as a gift for a friend and we had such a lovely afternoon! You get the choice of making several styles of ring and we actually got time to make two each. Beccy was brilliant, so patient and a great teacher - the rings ended up so much better than I’d expected! I’d definitely recommend it.

Katherine was an excellent tutor, very friendly and her explanations were clear. We had a great morning and all wore our stacking rings home!

Becky was great, patient, knowledgeable, allowed us to make decisions about what we wanted to do. Provide great support without taking over4 on the course so got plenty of help when needed.
Would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely afternoon. Beccy is a great teacher and we learned so much from her. Her style was relaxed and friendly. Our rings look beautiful and we will be wearing them with pride and happy memories.

Really enjoyable session, clear explanation of techniques and what you could achieve and each process individually explained. Very encouraging one to one support. Came home with wearable items and a sense of achievement.
