Maggie Read Jewellery Studio
Spend a peaceful few hours getting creative at Maggie Read’s beautiful jewellery studio, tucked into the countryside of north Northumberland and just a short 20 minute drive from both Kelso and Berwick‑upon‑Tweed.
Perfect for beginners, these small‑group workshops are relaxed, friendly and hands‑on, with plenty of one‑to‑one guidance throughout. From shaping and texturing to polishing your final piece, you will be guided step‑by‑step at your own fully equipped workbench. Choose from a range of experiences from crafting silver rings, bangles or silver clay jewellery, and enjoy the satisfaction of learning a new skill at an unhurried pace.
You will leave not only with a beautiful piece you have made yourself, but with a real sense of achievement and a meaningful memento of your time in the Borders. Crabtree & Crabtree guests receive a special discount when booking.
