Maker's bio

The Arienas Collective supports local artists and makers to earn a living by sharing their creative skills and passions with others through delivering workshops. The workshops are run from our mews home in the beautiful Georgian New Town of central Edinburgh. We believe in the wellbeing benefits of engaging in creative activity, and our class sizes are kept small so that you get the support you need to make the most of your time with us. We teach you creative skills you can continue at home.

"Hi Catherine - Anna and I are so glad you enjoyed working with silver clay. Perhaps you can return to Scotland in future and take your jewellery journey further?! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this lovely review. We are so grateful. Enjoy wearing your pieces. With best wishes, Lynn"
