About me and my studio I am a professional jeweller and have been teaching for over 10 years. All of my workshops take place either in my studio, set within the beautiful walled gardens of Belgrave Hall itself, a stunning Grade II listed building in Leicester. The studio is part of the Hall's former outbuildings and stables .  It is an oasis of calm  and the perfect place for a spot of jewellery making. I work primarily in silver, gold, copper and brass. I also specialise in a Korean technique called “Keum Boo where 24ct gold is bonded to silver. I take great joy in passing the skills and techniques I have developed over the years with my students. Seeing the joy on their faces as they get hands on with using tools like hammers and forming tools to create a beautiful piece of jewellery, brings great joy. Linda x
