About us

The Studio has been established forĀ over twenty years and has built up a reputation for the quality of jewellery and silverware produced. Situated in a beautiful spot, in the village of Achnasheen, at the head of Strath Bran. Inspiration for the designs created in the workshop come from the surrounding area and have a timeless and universal appeal.

The jewellery is made by Susan Plowman who graduated from The Glasgow School of Art with a B.A Hons and specialises in fine enamel work and precious stone set jewellery. She is a member of The British Society of Enamellers and The Society of Contemporary Jewellers and works mainly to commission. The pieces made in the workshop are only available directly from The Studio or The Studio Gallery . We do not supply other outlets. There is a varied selection of contemporary glass and ceramics, fine art prints, art and local interest books and the best new Scottish music.

In january 2000 we laid the foundation blocks for our new Cafe which is built onto the rear of the workshop. It has open views north, west and south. On a clear day we can see Ben Eighe in one direction and Ben Wyvis in the other.

The furniture was made in native woods; beech, sycamore, alder and scots pine, and can seat 24 people. There is a Scandinavian woodburner to keep us all warm in the winter and an original Italian expresso/cappuccino maker to satisfy the coffee gourmets among us.Our menu includes freshly made hot soups, salads, baked potatoes and homebaked cakes, biscuits and scones all made on the premises.
