Craft your calm

Take some time out for you.

Give yourself permission to experience the joy of crafting, whilst meeting like-minded people and improving your mental health and well-being.

In our Bead & Blether in-person sessions you'll be welcomed into a creative space where you'll learn a new seasonal technique each month to make beautiful wire and beaded jewellery.

Make them for yourself to feel extra fabulous, or gift them to others to show you care.

Craft and well-being

  • Inspire

    At Bead & Blether sessions we aim to inspire your creativity and spark curiosity through a variety of different techniques each month. Projects have a seasonal theme to keep you inspired but if there's something you'd like to learn suggestions are welcomed.

  • Discover

    Workshops are suitable for beginners with no experience or those who'd like to continue developing their skills and connect with other jewellery makers.

    Have a blether with each other over a cuppa and some biscuits.

  • Create

    There's something magical about using your hands to craft something, bringing a sense of fulfilment and finding joy in making.

    All materials are included for the project along with access to tools/equipment.

Hello there...

Bench Box is founded by Lindsay Forbes, a jewellery designer and Goldsmith who has been in the industry for over 15 years.

"Teaching found me; I had a studio in a community space where we were encouraged to provide workshops to bring people together. Through this, I loved seeing the joy that making jewellery brought to others. I became involved in providing 'Arts on Prescription' workshops which gave me a deeper understanding of the impact crafting could have on our mental health and well-being. I really want to inspire others and allow people to express themselves and feel the benefits of crafting." - Lindsay
