    Where to find us

    We now have larger premises just off the A19 at Riccall, between York and Selby.   We have lots of studio space and a shop display area. There is also lots of free parking in a stunning rural setting near York.

    Our Studio is part of a pretty rural courtyard, part of Escrick Park. You can find our Jewellery in stockists including  Fabrication, The Light, Leeds and The Old Ticket Office in North Ferriby.

    Directions

    The Studio can be found at Unit 2a, The Old Granary, Riccall Grange, YO19 6QL.

    From the A64 near York, take the exit at the A19 York Designer Outlet. Travel south towards Selby, past Escrick, towards Riccall. There is a turn off to Riccall on the RHS, pass this and look out for a left hand side turning – it has a white sign for Riccall Grange. Turn here and travel 1 mile up the road (its a single file road with a few passing points), on the LHS there is a road and sign for Riccall Grange, turn in- and follow the road – you’ll see Joys Bella Bridesmaids – we are next door xx

    Can I bring an old piece of jewellery to repair? 

    During a course we are unlikely to have time to inspect and repair broken pieces of jewellery.

    We provide tea, coffee and biscuits.  If you prefer to bring your own, such as non dairy milk etc, please feel free to do so and pop it in our fridge.   For courses that run over lunch time, please bring your own packed lunch, which can be stored in our fridge.  Microwave facilities are available.  If you have any severe food allergies please get in touch via the contact form prior to your booking.

    Are your courses safe during pregnancy?

    Whilst every care is taken to ensure that the materials used in our studio are safe during pregnancy. Silver Clay has been tested internationally to ensure that this is safe during pregnancy.

    Some processes do give off fumes and smells, but they are safe during pregnancy.  As a precaution we may ask you to wear a disposable protective facemask.

    Are your courses dementia friendly?

    Helen is a very patient and supportive tutor.  We have a relaxed workshop environment. Some techniques such as hammering may be loud and some tools require manual dexterity and coordination.   Please contact Helen via the Contact form if you have any concerns.

    Can I pay by instalments?

    Yes, please contact Helen to arrange this via the contact form. This may accrue an arrangement fee.

    Will I be able to take home what I have made? 

    In most cases you will be able to take home your creations after the course.  The exception to this is the dichroic glass course which requires an overnight cooling period, prior to polishing it for you. You may wish to collect these a week later or pay for postage of £3.70 and we will send these to you when finished.

    Where to stay nearby? 

    There are number of Bed and Breakfast locations nearby.  Check out Tripadvisor and AirBnB for details.
