‘Rent a Bench’ at Becharlo Jewellery Studio
Looking for a creative space to continue your jewellery journey?
The beCHARLO jewellery studio on the Isle of Wight offers independent bench time for makers who would like to practise their skills, work on personal projects, or simply enjoy dedicated time at the bench in a calm studio environment.
The studio is intentionally kept small and personal, creating a quiet and focused space to work and develop your jewellery practice.
Whether you are refining techniques, finishing a project, or spending time exploring new ideas, bench hire provides access to a professional jeweller’s workspace and tools.

What’s included: A professional bench, shared use of studio tools and tea + coffee to keep you fuelled.
What’s not included: Materials, gemstones, precious metals and solder are not included in bench hire. Please bring your own materials for your project. Small amounts of silver may occasionally be available to purchase in the studio if required.
Step into a supportive, creative space where craftsmanship and community meet.

Planning a bigger project?
Some makers choose to book full days or multiple sessions to fully immerse themselves in the making process. Consecutive days or back-to-back sessions may be available depending on studio availability.
If you would like to book extended bench time or several days in the studio, please get in touch and I’ll do our best to accommodate you.
