OUR FORGE FAMILY
Join our Forge Family! FORGE is more than a jewellery space. It is a growing community shaped by the people who learn, make, buy, teach, visit, support and champion jewellery.
FORGE brings together jewellery designers, makers, students, workshop leaders, collectors, customers and creative partners. Some are at the start of their jewellery journey, while others bring years of specialist skill and experience. What connects them is a shared appreciation of craftsmanship, creativity and independent design.
Through workshops, workspace, showcases, events and everyday conversations, FORGE creates opportunities for people to connect, share knowledge and be part of something active and supportive.
Our community is built around generosity, skill, creativity and collaboration. It is a place where people can develop their practice, discover new designers, learn traditional and contemporary jewellery skills, and feel part of a wider network of people who care about how jewellery is made and why it matters.
DESIGNERS & BUYERS
FORGE brings together independent UK jewellery designers, collectives, buyers, collectors, customers and jewellery enthusiasts through our monthly themed showcases in Hatton Garden. Each showcase presents a carefully selected group of makers, giving visitors the opportunity to discover unique contemporary jewellery.
For designers and collectives, FORGE offers visibility, selling opportunities and a chance to be part of a wider creative conversation. For buyers and jewellery lovers, it offers a more personal way to discover handmade jewellery, learn about the maker behind each piece and understand the techniques, materials and ideas involved.
By connecting those who make jewellery with those who buy and champion it, FORGE helps independent designers reach new audiences and encourages people to connect more deeply with the jewellery they choose.

FORGE CLUB MEMBERS
FORGE CLUB is our membership community for jewellery designers and makers who need professional workspace, specialist tools and a supportive environment in the heart of London’s jewellery quarter.
Full-time and part-time members can use our fully equipped co-working workshop on the lower level, book the meeting pod, access essential jewellery making equipment, including a laser welder, and work alongside other makers developing their own businesses. Full-time members can also permanently display their collections in the showroom.
Membership offers more than a place to work. Members are part of an active jewellery community, with opportunities to join our monthly LINK-UP events and Private Views, meet other creatives, share knowledge and build confidence. They also receive 10% off most FORGE workshops.
With Hatton Garden’s suppliers and service providers on the doorstep, FORGE CLUB supports makers at different stages of their practice, from emerging designers building their first collections to established jewellers developing new work
LEARNERS & TEACHERS
Our workshops and demonstrations welcome people at different stages of their jewellery journey, from complete beginners to practising jewellers who want to develop specialist skills.
FORGE works with experienced and accomplished makers, experienced tutors and industry professionals who generously share their knowledge through practical workshops and demonstrations. These teachers bring high technical skill and professional insight.
For learners, FORGE offers the chance to try jewellery making, build confidence, explore materials and processes, and gain a deeper understanding of how jewellery is made. Some come for a one off creative experience, while others use FORGE as a stepping stone into further study and developing their own jewellery business.
Our learning community is built on curiosity, encouragement and respect for skill. It creates a space where knowledge can be shared, creativity can grow and people can connect through making.

SPEAKERS & EXPERTS
We host a growing programme of events that connects designers, visitors, collectors and the wider jewellery industry.
Our monthly Private Views bring together the designers exhibiting in each showcase with buyers, collectors, press, industry contacts and jewellery enthusiasts. These events create valuable opportunities for conversation, visibility and connection.
FORGE also hosts networking events, in-conversations, talks, panel discussions and industry gatherings that explore jewellery, craft, business, ethics, creativity and contemporary design. We welcome other organisers who hire the space for events, exhibitions and creative projects that align with FORGE’s values.
This part of the community helps FORGE act as a meeting point for the jewellery world. It creates space for discussion, collaboration and shared learning, while supporting independent designers and strengthening connections across the industry.
Enriching lives
Through Creativity
Our motto is ‘enriching lives through creativity’ and at the heart of that is the belief that creativity is not only inspirational and nurturing, but helps forge long lasting friendships and professional relationships too.
Creativity nurtures our souls, helps forge great friendships and enriches our lives in ways that go beyond just the act of ‘making’. We believe that it can be a catalyst for a truly richer life.
And that is whether you are a practicing professional jeweller, jewellery enthusiast, giving jewellery making a go for the the first time or even making your own wedding rings! Come and be creative at FORGE!
