Maker's bio

My jewellery studio is nestled in the beautiful north Northumberland countryside, just a stone’s throw from the Scottish Border. It’s a calm, light-filled space where creativity, connection, and cake all come together. It’s just 20 minutes from Berwick-upon-Tweed on the A1 and is ideally placed between Edinburgh and Newcastle with plenty of free on-site parking. I run relaxed, hands-on silver jewellery making workshops which are perfect for complete beginners or anyone looking to try something new. Choose from a variety of silver ring making classes, silver bangle making classes or silver clay jewellery classes. Whether you’re coming along on your own, with a friend, or celebrating a birthday, hen do or family occasion, you’ll be warmly welcomed to the studio where you’ll spend the day creating your very own piece of bespoke jewellery. It's a chance to slow down and switch off from the daily rush. My classes are small and friendly – just five or six people per session so you'll have plenty of one-to-one guidance, step-by-step support, and encouragement throughout. Whether it’s your first time picking up a jeweller’s saw or you’re returning to build on your skills, the aim is always the same – to create something meaningful, and probably a little bit sparkly too. You’ll have access to professional tools, your own jeweller’s workbench, proper coffee, and delicious cake. It’s all part of making your visit feel like a special treat. You don’t need to be “arty” or have any experience. All you need is a bit of curiosity and a willingness to have a go. I’ll be right there to support you every step of the way. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm – I’ll take care of the rest! Hope to see you soon, Maggie x www.maggiereadjewellery.co.uk
