Profile

An accomplished mixed-media artist, textile designer, and jewellery maker based in Garstang, Lancashire. A graduate of the prestigious New Designers exhibition with a specialist background in textiles and design. With over 30 years of creative practice spanning gallery exhibitions, professional design placements, and studio teaching, Elizabeth brings exceptional skill and experience to her jewellery making and workshop tuition.

Elizabeth’s studio practice beautifully merges her textile design background with contemporary, hand-fabricated wearable art. Specializing in highly textured and organic mediums, her workshops and courses guide students through intricate work in:

  • Silver metal clay (99.9% pure fine silver) and sterling silver
  • Custom sea glass and silver creations
  • Silver and resin jewellery
  • Intricate beading and wirework
  • Hand-crafted, adjustable rings and bespoke bands
  • Creative textiles and mixed-media design


Studio Philosophy & Techniques

Because Elizabeth's studio focuses on specialized, hand-fabricated artistry rather than traditional industrial torch-soldering, her sessions are uniquely designed to teach accessible, high-quality finishing methods that yield stunning, professional results.

Rings and jewellery made during our sessions are created either as beautiful adjustable designs, or they are professionally soldered or fired by Elizabeth after the workshop and posted directly to you within 2 months (depending on current studio workload). This safe, creative approach ensures that whether you are joining us for a single-day workshop, a 2-part masterclass, or a multi-week course, you will enjoy a relaxing, hands-on space to build confidence and leave with exquisite, finished pieces you are proud to wear.
