Relax, reconnect & try something new

We want to share our love of Jewellery Making with you, and our custom-built teaching workshop is a great place to take some time out from our busy lives and learn a new skill.

Established in 2012, Thorpe & Brown is a design studio, workshop & showroom set in a conservation area in the beautiful village of Burbage, Leicestershire.

We can accommodate up to 7 participants per workshop, each having their own bench space. We'll provide you with an apron, and all the tools you'll need for the day, as well as the silver to make your jewellery.
