Whether you're curious about how jewellery is made, want to craft a truly special gift for someone or just can't resist shiny things, this jewellery making workshop in the beautiful Monmouthshire countryside shouldn't be missed.

Hosted by an experienced local crafter in a fully-equipped workshop, you'll learn a raft of fundamental silversmithing skills as you create a contemporary yet timeless necklace and ring to be cherished forever.

Beginning with deft demonstrations to let you get familiar with the tools and techniques you'll be using, you'll then have the opportunity for hands-on practice with the whole process, including filing, polishing, soldering, texturing and polishing. Your tutor will remain on hand throughout the session to offer tips, advice and plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits to keep the inspiration flowing!

After completing this relaxed, beginner-friendly class, you'll leave with some nifty new crafting skills, as well as your gorgeous handmade jewellery as a permanent reminder of what you can do with your own hands.

Please note:

  • Access to the workshop is via a set of stairs only and we are located on the first floor. Some of the classes/workshops do require some physical work and standing. If you wear reading glasses, please do bring them along.
  • If you book a private, one-to-one workshop, it is tailor-made for you and as such, the tasks undertaken and any resulting item made will vary. Therefore, the cost of materials is not included in the workshop price. The teacher will have a stock of silver, gold and gemstones available for purchase at cost. Please get in touch prior to booking for more details.

I have been making jewellery since a young age. Even before studying at Birmingham School of Jewellery, I was stringing homemade clay beads together. It is only in more recent years that I have taken the plunge to start my own business.

From an early age, I have enjoyed learning about folklore and myths and been entertained by the imagination of those creative artists such as Tolkein, CS Lewis and Lewis Carroll - to name the more well known.

I have always believed that perception forms a person's reality and it is lovely to look at the world in different ways.

In 2019 I moved to Wales and through my workshop window, I enjoy watching the wonder of nature through the changing seasons.

So nature, both real and imagined, influences my designs. Not always in my imagined worlds, I am passionate about protecting our environment. This informs my personal choices but also those for my business - I always choose either fair trade or recycled precious metal to work with, as well as ethically sourced gemstones. My packaging is made from recycled products and the boxes are bio-degradable.
