Maker's bio

I have been making jewellery since 1994, I have a teaching certificate for teaching adults, plus BA and MA certificates in Jewellery and have been teaching jewellery making at adult education centres & around London since 2009. I love sharing my skills, helping my students to make beautiful jewellery, and to develop and refine their skills and creativity. Jewellery making is great for a fun day out, a hobby, or of course, as a career! Do join me to make your own gorgeous jewellery.

"This was a brilliant course. Penny is such an excellent teacher. She had lots of beads to choose from but I also took some family items that needed to be restrung. Would highly recommend. "
