About
Hi! My name is Suzanne and I'm the designer/maker behind Suzanne Barr Designs, everything I make is made in my home studio based in beautiful Cornwall.
How I started
I began my creative journey when I signed up for a 10 week evening silversmithing class over 21 years ago, from that first night I was hooked! I started creating from home and developing my skills.
I began teaching the silversmithing leisure course for Cornwall College in St Austell and now run my own workshops. I have to say it's one of my favourite things to do, meeting so many different people and sharing ideas and skills to create jewellery, many of whom become jewelers themselves.
Inspiration
A lot of my work is inspired by the surrounding area of St Austell Bay and the beautiful Cornish coastline, so you will see lots of sea glass and textured silver designs but I also love to work on unique designs & commissions.
