Welcome to my jewellery and art studio in Thurso. My workbench is situated here and you can see me work on my creations Tuesday to Saturday. I graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with 1st class honours in jewellery and silversmithing. I offer beginner jewellery making workshops where you will learn real silversmithing techniques and at the end of the class take home your own piece of sterling silver jewellery that you have designed and made yourself. A perfect thing to do on a rainy day! Happy to take families (aged over 12, can be younger if an adult is present and they feel the child is capable) friends, couples or individuals looking to do something unique. My new premises in Brabster street is a wonderful place to visit, you will also be able to buy from a specially curated collection of local and scottish craft and ever changing artwork. My scratchboard artwork can be bought in a number of different products including prints, bags and mugs

I visited Lindsey's studio yesterday. It is absolutely beautiful- like a calm sanctuary- spacious and full of products by all sorts of local craftspeople. Her jewellery is beautiful, but I was also taken by her sketches and wirework. Stunning. I browsed for ages and felt under no pressure to rush- or indeed to even buy anything. This studio is really worth a visit if you want to treat yourself or just appreciate high- quality local crafts. This has been a highlight of my trip, so far. Thanks Lindsey.
