My name is Lesley and I am a jewellery designer and tutor. I enjoy making handmade pieces of jewellery using quality components such as Murano Glass, Swarovski Crystal, freshwater pearls, vintage pieces, precious metals and semi-precious gems. I am based in Guildford, Surrey and what started as a hobby has grown into a business. I specialise in children’s jewellery, teaching them how to make their own jewellery. I really enjoy this aspect - helping children to learn and watching their creativity develop is so rewarding. One of the most enjoyable activities that I carry out are the clubs and workshops that I run where I teach others how to make their own jewellery. It is so rewarding to see someone develop and to be able to make jewellery themselves. I take people from complete beginners to then being able to create and realise their own designs.

Birthday parties are a really fun way of spending time with friends whilst learning something new and using your creativity to make your own piece of jewellery. These are tailored by age so please look at my Parties page.

I sell my collections of beaded and silver jewellery and “make your own kits” here on my website, at my Etsy shop www.etsy.co.uk/LetsGetBusyBeading and at selected craft fairs. Bespoke orders are welcome so if you don’t see something that exactly matches what you are looking for then please contact me and we can discuss your ideas.
