121 Jewellery Courses!
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at making jewellery but don’t have the time to sign up for weeks of evening classes? Come and stay at my house on the edge of the moors where you will use my workbench in the studio and have 121 jewellery tuition. As someone who has been designing and making jewellery for over 30 years, I can offer courses adapted to individual needs, from beginners and students wanting a “try out” session, to those with experience already who wish to develop their skills further. Couples can come and make each others wedding rings, creating a truly unique and special heirloom to be passed on to future generations.

Members in the press

Jane Hamill
First time in print. Three of Jane's jewellery pieces have been featured in the April 2010 edition of 'Making Jewellery' magazine, in the reader's gallery section

Pam Potter
Pam is part of a project documenting Lancashire's endangered buildings by New Longton Artists for Lancashire Life. Her work of Morecambe's Winter gardens plus article will appear later on in the year in this publication

Yvonne Chadderton FGA
Yvonne Chadderton is featured in November 2009's edition of Ideal Home magazine!
An avid DIY enthusiast, Yvonne completely re-designed her bathroom after moving house recently and Ideal Home decided it had a big enough “wow” factor to merit a three page article. Yvonne specialises in making Opal Jewellery that she sources directly from the mines at Coober pedy in Australia. The design of Yvonne’s new bathroom is an extension of that theme, featuring mosaic opalescent tiles, which add iridescent colour to what is a minimalist bathroom of grey and white.
