Meet the tutors

Claire is a lifelong creative with over a decade of experience in silversmithing and jewellery making. She began her jewellery journey after attending a ‘ring in a day’ workshop with Alice. Following this Claire was hooked and has spent countless hours at the King Square studio over the years.

Claire’s jewellery is inspired by the natural world, the macabre and the unusual. Since 2018, Claire has been designing and creating her jewellery collections and custom pieces as Kasasagi Jewellery.

When outside the workshop Claire can be found attempting to tame her garden, playing board games or more recently wrangling a new-born.

Steve started learning jewellery making with Alice Goldsack in 2014. After studying with her for a year he set up his own small home workshop, and within a few months started selling his own original pieces.

After a series of upgrades to larger studios, he’s now a full time jewellery maker, creating stock items for his website, taking on bespoke commissions, and teaching workshops.

Steve specialises particularly in the skill of wax-carving for jewellery making. This practice allows you to create larger, more sculptural solid works and let your imagination run wild.

You can check out his designs at Captain Grimace Jewellery.
