About this event

Bradford Industrial Museum, Heritage Craft Room

Isabella Anne Kelley is a silversmith and jeweller based across West and South Yorkshire.

Her work is inspired by nostalgia and memory, often drawing on patterns from architecture or personal experiences. She specialises in metal objects that explore texture, form, and storytelling through craft.

Participants will explore a range of basic metalworking techniques — including texturing, stamping, colouring, and finishing — while designing and creating their own unique brass Christmas bauble.

There are two sessions:

  •  10.30am – 1pm
  •  1.30 – 4pm.
