About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Welcome to the North West Jewellery School, your one-stop shop for jewellery courses in the North West of England. Nestled in the heart of the scenic Ribble Valley, we have created a welcoming space for you to explore your creativity, learn something new, or further hone your jewellery making skills.
The doors to the North West Jewellery School officially opened in April 2023 by founder Suzanne Pattinson. With a steady building community and eager students who have the desire to learn, a passion for creating and a love of jewellery, Suzanne created the calm and relaxing studio space at Backridge Farm, which has its students at the heart.
We are committed to ensuring that the teaching environment is welcoming and positive and that every detail matters. Whether you are joining us for a one off workshop, hosting your private function, renting a bench or attending our regular weekly term time classes, we want you to enjoy a safe setting where you can be creatively free, supported and encouraged.
At the North West Jewellery School, we are passionate about the art of jewellery making and dedicated to providing a nurturing environment where creativity can flourish. Our team of experienced and skilled instructors are here to guide you through every step of the process, whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced artisan looking to refine your techniques.
