Who We Are
The Old Barn Workshop is a dedicated jewellery studio founded by Jessica Noble. We offer inspiring, hands-on jewellery-making experiences for adults of all levels. Located just outside Farnham in the Surrey countryside, we run a vibrant programme of weekly jewellery classes, silversmithing workshops, jewellery making parties, and private jewellery tutorials in a fully equipped professional workspace.
​
Our mission is to spark creativity, build practical jewellery-making skills, and bring people together through the joy of craft.
