Maker's bio

I'm Eleanor, I'm a jeweller and glass maker and I love colour, texture, design and pattern. I work across all of these in a variety of media including fused glass, enamel, silver, copper, anodised aluminium creating my one-off jewellery and glass pieces. I retrained as a jeweller in 2012, and I work with my husband at Rainbow Glass Studios where I thoroughly enjoy teaching weekend courses in glass and enamelling. I believe everyone has creativity and I want to encourage you to explore yours!

Laura reviewed: Enamelling on Copper for Jewellery (vitreous glass kiln enamelling)

"I was amazed at how many different pieces we managed to make and the quality of the pieces that we produced. Eleanor was such an encouraging, easy to ask questions of and patient teacher. I learnt so much about the processes and art/craft of enamelling. I had an amazing time and made two necklaces and a pair of earrings."

Eleanor Designs responded:

"Hello Laura Thank you for coming on Saturday, I am so glad you enjoyed the day with us! You have a natural sense of colour and which ones to put together as we enamelled; I hope you really enjoy wearing the pieces you have made, they all worked out beautifully! I hope we see you again for more enamelling in future! Thank you for your kind review, Eleanor: Rainbow Glass Studios"

Tracey Pursley reviewed: Enamelling on copper bowls day course at Rainbow Glass Studios

"Eleanor thank you for a brilliant day of learning how to enamel. I learnt so much and you are an excellent and patient tutor, not only with your instructions but with your guidance on health and safety. A brilliant workshop and would highly recommend Eleanor."

Eleanor Designs responded:

"Hello Tracey Thank you for your glowing review of our Enamelling day. I am so pleased you enjoyed learning to enamel. Your bowls and jewellery (and Sarah’s) are a credit to your own designs and choices of colours together too. I hope you both do more in future, I’d be delighted to see you again on a future course! Thank you for coming! Best wishes, Eleanor "

Kirsta Thumm reviewed: Enamelling on copper bowls day course at Rainbow Glass Studios

"The enamelling on copper bowls course was so much fun. Eleanor is a great teacher who made sure we knew how to handle the kiln and the enamel powders safely and taught us lots of creative techniques to use on our bowls. I love the pieces I made (and the pieces made by the others) and it was such a friendly, collaborative day. "

Eleanor Designs responded:

"Hello Kirsta Thank you for your lovely review of our day together enamelling at Rainbow Glass Studios. I’m so glad you enjoyed making your bowls and the company too! You should all be proud of yourselves, fantastic results for a first day’s enamelling! Well done! Great meeting you and your family too! Eleanor "

Marèse reviewed: Enamelling on copper bowls day course at Rainbow Glass Studios

"A great day enamelling on copper bowls, so fascinating to see layers of enamel come to life when fired. Eleanor is an excellent tutor who explained all processes very clearly & was always on hand to help when required. I was amazed at the lovely bowls I was able to create & take home with me. a very enjoyable day - thank you Eleanor."

Eleanor Designs responded:

"Hello Marese It was lovely to meet you, Thank you for your curiosity and enthusiasm to learn to enamel with me! You made a beautiful job of your bowls in complimentary colours and I hope you enjoy wearing your domed pendants too. Fabulous results on your first day! I hope to see you again soon!
