Maker's bio

Allow me to introduce myself.. I am Jessica and I teach jewellery classes! I have been teaching silversmithing classes for over 6 years. There is something quite special about meeting new students, watching their excitement as they solder for the first time or how impressed they are with their own skills and achievements when they leave wearing their own piece of sparkling jewellery! It’s become a real passion of mine. Over the years, as well as creating Made To Order collections and one off commission pieces, I am very proud to have welcomed hundreds of students into my classes and share the Silversmithing bug with them. Many come back again to build on their skills and some have even gone on to set up their own incredible jewellery businesses. Since having my daughter in 2021, teaching is very much my focus when it comes to work. I hope to get back to the workshop and begin making commissions again in the coming year, but in the mean time I am very happy to be a resident tutor at The Makers House in Fareham, a fully equipped studio with individual work stations and a wonderful homely feel! So if you’d like to try your hand at Silversmithing, please take a look at the classes I am running in Fareham or let me bring my tools to you at home and teach you how to make jewellery around your kitchen table with friends. If you would like more information about classes then do not hesitate to drop me an e-mail. I’d be happy to guide you to the best classes and options for you! Jessica Marie x
