On 16th January Bronwen Tyler Jones hosted a box making workshop, based on designs from her current collection. Students worked in copper and brass to create small boxes with hinged doors and catches. A really fascinating day, covering many different techniques.
As well as producing lovely things, the workshops are really good fun. We had a great group of ladies which makes the day really interesting and enjoyable for Bron and I too.

One of the finshed boxes, which includes a huge amount of work, including making the hinges... All this in under 6 hours!
Bronwen was very generous with her knowledge and the workshop was very much inspired by her work.
I am a contemporary jewellery designer maker based in rural Herefordshire. My collection is subtle and pure incorporating clean lines and a soft finish. I pass on my skills through teaching jewellery workshops from my jewellery making studio.
