What people are saying
“Flexible space, available when I am. Friendly fellow silversmiths who share their experiece and crafting knowledge. A gallery for completed work. A fantastic owner with a brilliant vision for all aspects of jewellery, jewellery making and spreading the word of jewellery!”
“I love working out of the Silver & Steel Studio space as it is somewhere that I can shut the door on life and really concentrate on my creative process. Everything I need is there, either at my own bench, or the shared bench which has the communal tools that are available for all to access. Since I have become a part of this community I have learned so much from my fellow studio makers. Every single person that I have met has something unique and important to share, and with this comes a belief in myself, and my creativity, that is really hard to find when working in a vacuum with no outside input.
What Beth has designed and put in place at Silver & Steel Studios is a vibrant, exciting and nurturing workshop and gallery which is accessible to all. Beth is a powerhouse whose enthusiasm and energy is contagious and truly inspirational.”
“Silver and Steel is such an exciting addition to Bristol and I feel very lucky to be part of it. This space has been such a huge part of my settling back into Bristol after time abroad and finding my community – I feel grounded and at home here. It’s been the space where I have gained confidence and launched my jewellery business and it has given me the opportunity to start teaching which has also been amazing.
As a jeweller it is a really unique space that is hard to find, in that it offers several things: benches for hire with access to larger tools that can be hard to have at home as they take up space or are very expensive; the gallery and shop through which we can sell our work; the possibility to teach and also attend workshops; and to be part of groups of engaged contemporary jewellers. Something I struggled with previously in Bristol was a lack of a community around jewellery. With the gallery exhibitions, talks, CPD workshops and the resident community I have found a space to learn, grow and have super geeky conversations about all things contemporary jewellery and life!”
