I am a qualified adult education teacher and have been teaching jewellery making to adults at various centres around London, as well as offering private individual and 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.

I work primarily with silver, using
traditional jewellery making and related skills,, as well as working with silver clay - a relatively new product, but I don't often use silver on its own - I also love working with bead weaving, Kumihimo (Japanese braiding), and the odd bit of stone carving, and I love creating different effects by combining these or other materials in different ways with silver.
