When outside the workshop Claire can be found attempting to tame her garden, playing board games or more recently wrangling a new-born.

The Workshop
Access to the studio requires climbing a flight of stairs, unfortunately we are not wheelchair accessible.
Found in the bustling alternative district of Stokes Croft, full of independent shops, galleries, cafes and the street art the area is famous for. The workshop is a 10 minute walk from the central bus station, 15 minutes walk from Cabot Circus and a 30 minute walk from Temple Meads. There is paid street parking in the workshop area.
There is a full complement of well maintained, professional tools and equipment suitable for those starting and advancing their jewellery making journey.
The workshop is purpose built for jewellery making, with ample natural light and space for up to 10 people, although classes are typically capped at 8 for comfort.
