Rent a jewellery studio or work from home – a journey

01 Jun, 2016 · By jewelleryschool· Jewellery Business , Jewellery Business Posts , jewellery designer , jewelry business , LJS , london jewellery school , Tutors · Comments

In March this year tutor Anna Campbell wrote on the blog about her thoughts about renting a jewellery studio versus working from home. She now has an update!

Whether to rent a jewellery studio or work from home was an issue that was at the forefront of my mind when I wrote the blog post a few months ago. I was wanting to further develop my jewellery business and teaching and it was one option to consider. I looked at whether there were studios available locally as I knew it was unlikely I’d want the cost and time of travelling too far. I hadn’t found anything that I thought would work for me. Luckily, serendipity happened to help me out! I was working one evening at the London Jewellery School alongside tutor Penny Akester and it transpired that she was looking for someone to share a studio with at Craft Central!

It was great timing and a good opportunity to share the costs as well as to have someone to work alongside.

I got my keys at the beginning of May and Penny and I spent a day building flat packed furniture to furnish our studio (here we are in action!)

We had a deadline to get up and running because there was an open studios at Craft Central for Made in Clerkenwell starting on 18th May and we wanted to be ready for this. We were and we opened up our studio to visitors that week. Thanks to all the LJS students who came to see us! It was appreciated.

My current thoughts and hopes for the future

I am pleased to have the opportunity to have a dedicated jewellery workspace. It is also great to have someone to discuss ideas with (and to share the costs!). Penny and I have very different styles and I think that is the best possible scenario as we can learn from each other to feed into our own work.

The bi-annual open studios also is a great opportunity to sell my work and get feedback from customers on my designs.

 

Do you rent a studio or work from home? We’d love to know your thoughts on this issue and see some photos of your workspace! Share them with us in the comments below or via our instagram, twitter or facebook pages.
