I design, make and sell my own unique handmade silver jewellery and also teach how to make silver jewellery.
I began my journey into silver metal clay whilst running a pottery studio and soon became hooked! The magic of turning a piece of clay into a solid piece of Hallmark Standard Silver never fails to amaze me and I love sharing this with my students and helping them create a lovely piece of jewellery that they can wear proudly home makes my job the best. I have worked hard to develop my skills and I strive to work to the highest standard.
I have over twelve years experience and I:
- am a senior metal clay instructor
- came third in an international competition held in Tokyo in 2024
- had one of my jewellery pieces displayed in an exhibition in Tokyo in 2023
- hold a higher diploma in silver clay
- teach diploma levels 1 & 2
I mainly teach from my studio in Market Bosworth in Leicestershire. I also teach, and have taught, at various studios around the country including Chatsworth House, London, Nottingham, Northampton, Stratford, Birmingham, Melton Mowbray.
My classes are relaxed and informative, aiming to give all attendees an incredible experience as well as beautiful jewellery to take home with them.
Here’s a taste of what some class attendees have said about me:
“Gifted teacher and guides you through the process with hints and tips for each person along the way and has many years of experience, which comes across”
“She’s amazing”
“Great host”
I would love to meet you on one of my courses so please book as soon as you can.

"Did this course with my daughter and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. There is the perfect balance between being shown how to do things and plenty of time to actually have a go at your own pace. We came away with a set of beginner skills that would allow us to build on the knowledge at home. "
Louise Anne Designs responded:
"Hi Sue, thank you for your review - it was lovely to meet you both . Hope your jewellery was much admired ! Louise😊"
"Louise introduced me to the silver clay in a clear, fun way and carefully guided me through the process to make a gorgeous necklace. Her studio is peaceful and her approach was gentle. She left me space to do what I could do and advised and demonstrated as needed. Thank you for a fabulous morning"
Louise Anne Designs responded:
"So glad you enjoyed your morning it was lovely to meet you 😊"
""Amazing day learning how to use silver clay, drill sea glass and set into a bezel. Gained lots of tips including how to shape pieces, stick layers together, fill holes, fire and burnish in her craft room with a lovely view.""
