Graduating as a designer/maker over thirty years ago (BA Hons Jewellery, Silversmithing & Allied Crafts) Izzy Wheeldon is also a qualified FE college tutor and has Early Years Teaching Status (PGCE). 

​

While based in London she gained experience working for jewellers Susan May, Roger Stone and Jill Newbrook as well as blacksmith Shelley Thomas.

A bursary offer took her to Lincolnshire where she set up her workshop and also began running art workshops for children. A move to Newark led to teaching adults jewellery and art at Newark college, including creative art for adults with learning disabilities. 

​

More recently, Izzy has been employed as a teaching assistant in primary schools, predominantly working with SEN children in early years and key stage 1, until spring 2025 when she made the move back to her roots of silversmithing and teaching adults.

​

Her jewellery classes are based at the 'Art Smart' studio Newark, Nottinghamshire UK where you may also find her leading art classes for children!

​

Her silver jewellery work is influenced by her faith, the UK coast, walks in the countryside and by rare, magical, sightings of deer and other wildlife.

All jewellery on this website is designed and made by Izzy in her workshop at Newark.
