Throughout the summer the studio is open on occasional Saturdays as listed below, when my daughter Cerys will be doing her Acrylic Painting and selling my jewellery plus glassware by my cousin Colin Hawkins..... so do call in if you wish to treat yourself.
In addition there is the Nidd Art Trail in 21st 22nd and 23rd August, other studios are open on Friday evening and Saturday of that weekend for our Pateley Makers Yard Summer event, see details below.
Otherwise I am available by appointment so please do email me if you wish to visit on any day.
All the best

PS
I also recommend that if you are considering purchasing an item from my stock do so in the near future. The huge increases in the value of Platinum, Silver and Gold mean that many of these pieces are 30% less than they ought to be! I am holding at the old prices for now but cannot do so indefinitely. New commissions are prices at that days bullion value and quotes are valid for 3 days only.

I have renovated the space to create a large jewellers workshop and an adjoining separate shop and consultation area. In addition to Open Studio days, I am happy to open the shop area for you by appointment. Please email me.
Also visit the other Studios in the complex including : Art, Jewellery,
