Jewellery Making in an Orangery!

A wonderful experience crafting your own design and learning traditional skills to make contemporary jewellery.

Many of my Collections incorporate plants. The opportunity to have a studio where I could grow a wider variety of plants offered new inspiration and a holistic and calming space to offer classes.

Perhaps you know someone who has a passion for jewellery and would love to be able to make their own. A Gift Card for a class is a lovely present for a loved one. You could take a half day workshop to make a unique gift for friends or family.

You will be expertly guided through the exciting range of tools, and techniques, gain new skills, have fun and come away with a unique and precious jewellery piece.

Do you want to make an incredible present for the special someone in your life? Develop a brief and with expert guidance and access to a complete jewellers’ workshop create a gift that you have made yourself with them in mind.

Testimonials

"The course was excellent! It was very hands-on and covered a range of useful techniques. I was amazed by how much I managed to achieve in such a short time and thanks to Katie's clear explanations and tailored approach I came away with skills that I'll be able to use time and time again. I'd recommend this course to anyone whether they are a beginner or already have some jewellery making experience." Susie Newbigging

Testimonials I am overwhelmed with the lovely feedback from my workshops offered on air bnb experiences . You can see from the reviews that there are many motivations to booking a jewellery workshop. I am fascinated to meet people from all over the globe visiting Dundee and its lovely to be part of their Scottish holiday experience including a couple who used the rings made with me to renew their vows and a very memorable family making workshop for three generations. I also greatly enjoy having fantastic workshops with locals who I have met at local craft fairs. These have included father and daughter workshops, special valentine, birthday & christmas gifts for the jewellery enthusiasts curious to discover the magic of making.
