Meet the Business Owner

Birgit B.

Business Owner

Birgit is German and has lived in London for over 30 years.

She has made crystal and silver jewellery for many years and sells at Essex and local craft events. She is a member of various craft organisations, including E17 Designers, Guild of Essex Craftsmen and Forest Art & Crafts.

Following a course in silversmithing she developed an interest in jewellery making techniques using wire and beads to complement the silversmithing.

She is very patient with students and it gives her pleasure to observe students mastering skills and their resulting increased confidence.

She says: «I am so happy to be able to share my passion and hope that, if you join my workshops, you will enjoy learning as much as I enjoy teaching.»
