Jewellery workshops
I carry out Jewellery workshops inside my studio based inside the very special Salt Cellar Jewellery Workshops in Porthleven, Cornwall. Salt Cellar Workshops has been located in the harbour for 200 years and used to serve as a warehouse for local fishermen. Today the two top floors now contain artist studios and their work ranges from handmade hats, felt work, painting, hand carved wooden items, furniture, baskets and of course jewellery.
I have 10 years experience in teaching jewellery and have worked for organisations such as Workers' Educational Association and Cornwall College. Some of my students have turned their hobbies into a career.
I now teach small groups of up to 3 people, providing me with extra time with each individual to create jewellery to be proud of. Most of my workshops run 9.30am - 1.30pm Mon - Fri and many of my customers have attended with loved ones to celebrate special occassions, such as birthdays or holidays in Cornwall and made a day of it, by popping out for lunch afterwards in one of many eateries in Porthleven harbour or picnic on the beach. I also take photographs thoughout your time with me and will send these to you electronicallly as another special keepsake.
Below is some information on upcoming workshops, but if you don't see what you are looking for and have a specific project in mind, please feel free to get in touch. I am always happy to hear about your exciting ideas!

I thoroughly enjoyed my sea glass workshop with Anna. She explained everything so clearly and was really patient, helping me with the things I found difficult. She's a great teacher. I plan to go back and make some earrings to go with my pendant sometime soon. ❤️

“Wanting to book something special for my friends big birthday we booked a group workshop with Anna. The 3 of us spent the day collecting pebbles and then created one of a kind jewellery pieces. Anna was a brilliant and patient teacher and the whole day was infused with laughter and fun. We all loved what we produced and will treasure these special pieces of jewellery, which now represent the memories made that day and our friendship. Anna’s workshop in the heart of Porthleven meant we could have a lovely lunch there too. I am now thinking about the next piece I want to make and won’t hesitate to take this idea to Anna. Her supportive and encouraging nature makes for the perfect teacher.”
