Classes: Jewellery Making

Women-owned

Hi, I’m Emma, the designer and maker behind Emma Dale Jewellery.

Creativity has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm in North Yorkshire, studied floristry and now work as a qualified teacher and Lead Teacher of Design Technology.

During Covid, my daughter Rose—then eight—and I started a tiny business making button necklaces. That little project reminded me how much I loved turning simple materials into something joyful and wearable.

Today, I create bold, colourful jewellery using hand-hammered copper, sterling silver, laser-cut acrylic and cord. My designs often begin as hand-drawn doodles before being engraved or laser-cut in my workshop. I love combining traditional metalworking with modern technology, and because everything is handmade, each piece has its own character.

Emma Dale Jewellery is very much a husband-and-wife team. My husband and I are both qualified teachers, and he supports everything behind the scenes—from helping at workshops to setting up, tidying away and keeping family life running while I create!

Teaching is just as important to me as making. I love helping people who believe they “aren’t creative” relax, experiment with colour and leave wearing something they’re genuinely proud to have made. Our teaching experience means our fully insured workshops are welcoming, well organised and accessible to complete beginners.

It’s colourful, creative and occasionally a little chaotic—but it’s all made with plenty of love here in East Yorkshire.
