April has been a truly special month for us here at the studio - full of celebration, creativity, and exciting milestones.
We’ve officially turned three! What started as a small idea has grown into a thriving, creative community, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Every class booked, every piece created, and every bit of support has helped shape North West Jewellery School into what it is today - thank you for being part of our journey.

Our new term is now underway, and the studio is once again full of energy. It’s been wonderful welcoming both familiar faces and new students through the doors, all bringing fresh ideas and creativity with them. There’s something really special about seeing skills grow week by week, and we’re so excited for what this term will bring.
We had the best time at one of our favourite nights of the year, the Ribble Valley Business Awards! Being finalists felt like such a win for us, and we’re incredibly proud. Massive congratulations to The Hideaway Cabaret for taking home the Creative Business Award.
As we move further into Spring, the studio is buzzing with inspiration, and we’re looking forward to sharing more workshops, more creativity, and more special moments with you all.
A Very Special Visit To The Studio
We were incredibly excited to welcome a very special group to the studio this month!
On Wednesday 22nd April, we were part of the Mayor of Ribble Valley’s official tour, hosting a visit from a group of visiting Mayors from across Lancashire. This annual gathering brings together dignitaries from across the county, and we felt so proud that Backridge and the North West Jewellery School were chosen as one of the stops.
The visit shone a light on the fantastic independent businesses based here, and it was a real honour to be included. We loved having the opportunity to share a glimpse into what we do and showcase the creativity that happens in the studio every day.
Here is a little snapshot from the day:

Workshop Spotlight
Our May workshops are filling up quickly, with only a few spaces remaining on some of our most popular sessions!
Whether you’re looking to try something new or build on your existing skills, these workshops are a perfect way to spend a creative day in the studio. With small group sizes and plenty of hands-on guidance, you’ll leave with something truly special that you’ve made yourself.
