Beccy Gillatt
I first started teaching jewellery over 20 years ago and have not looked back since. I enjoy learners realising their designs and making something they can treasure forever. I love the buzz in the workshop between learners and thrive off helping people gain the confidence to give different techniques and challenges a go.
I have taught at the following places: Farnham University, Cambridge Regional College, Richmond Community College, Hounslow Adult Education, Northants Adult Learning, Milton Keynes Art Centre, Knuston Hall and now have my own teaching school in Northamptonshire at Yardley Arts.
