Hi, my name is Loucinda, and I am an award-winning jeweller and silversmith with a passion for passing on my skills, knowledge, and love for making to anyone who will listen! Teaching is a huge passion of mine, and I love getting to meet such a variety of people from all ages and backgrounds. I have taught in a range of places such as South Hill Park Arts Centre, Marlborough Summer School, and Oxford College, and now teach from both my own workshop and mobile.The Metal Shed Workshop by Loucinda offers a range of jewellery and silversmithing workshops and classes both from her workshop and mobile, covering Berkshire, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire.Location-The converted shipping container workshop, AKA 'The Metal Shed, ' is situated in Lambourn, Berkshire, also known as the 'Valley of the Racehorse.'

For complete beginners, a project will be given to help teach the basic skills needed for your jewellery-making journey. After this, you are encouraged to come up with your own designs. For each term, students will be given a new brief/theme or project which they can choose to take part in alongside making their own work. Previous projects have included upcycling old silver, making a locket, and tube setting.One-off workshopsSuitable for those who want an introduction to jewellery and metalwork but don't want to commit to regular classes. The half-day and one-day workshops include various themes such as making a silver ring, making a copper rose, and Christmas-themed workshops. All of these workshops will include basic materials. During the summer, we offer a range of more in-depth 2-day courses.Children's Workshops/PartiesWith a full DBS certificate, Loucinda runs workshops and parties from the age of 6+, with a range of packages on offer.
