As well as creating my own jewellery, I am a qualified adult education teacher and have been enjoying teaching jewellery making to adults at various centres around London, as well as offering private individual or small group tuition in London since 2009.

Whether you are a professional looking to add to your skills, completely new to jewellery making and would like to try it out, you make jewellery as a hobby, or you are considering making jewellery to sell, I would love to help you.

As a jeweller, I work primarily with silver, using
traditional metalwork / silver jewellery making and various related skills, but I don't often use silver on its own - I specialise in working with stitched beadwork, silver clay, and Kumihimo (Japanese braiding), and I love creating different effects by combining these in different ways with metals.

I offer b
espoke 1-1 or small group tuition, from my studio in central London.
  • I have a range of introductory days you can choose from as well as flexible days to help jewellers with more experience develop.
  • I teach; -
    • Creating silver and gemstone jewellery
    • Working with silver clay
    • Bead stringing and wirework
    • Kumihimo (Japanese braiding)
    • Stitched beadwork
    • Electroforming
    • Etching
    • Pearl knotting
    • Wax carving
    • Simple home casting using delft clay, cuttlefish and water
  • I also work with students to experiment with ways of mixing/combining different materials and work with individuals to refresh their design ideas and process. 

As well as my private teaching, I teach at the London Jewellery School in Hatton Garden - teaching a variety of beading, metal clay, polymer clay, resin, glass fusing, wax carving and silver jewellery classes and I also teach regularly in Hammersmith at the Macbeth Centre, and at the Mary Ward Centre near Russell Square.
