Contemporary jewellery designer Michele White has been based in the area for 30 years. She therefore understands the expense involved in setting up as a designer maker.
'I wanted to create a space where new start-ups could thrive.'
That’s why her business Artisan Alchemy Gallery features workshop space to rent! Michele wants to support jewellers and designer-makers just starting out. So an area of the ground floor has been designed with a communal bench and individual workshops. There's all the prestige of a Jewellery Quarter address. Most of all, you'll enjoy a convenient city centre location.

'I'm here most days and fit my designing around teaching classes in the Jewellery Quarter. I make contemporary jewellery, a lot of it in bog oak and amber. I've been based here for three years and it's great! 'I like the location because I can go to St Paul's Square for lunch, and there's a little courtyard down by the workshops. It gives the place quite a European flavour.'
