Handmade Birch Designs
I’m Beth and I live on my family’s farm near Inkberrow, which inspired me to make sentimental and unique jewellery. Handmade Birch Designs started with our River & Coastline Collection, as I wanted a ring in the shape of our brook! My love for our sheep, cows and dogs has led to the Ear Tag Collection and Hoof & Paw Print Collection, and my love of the beach has led to many sea glass and pearl pieces.

Living on the Malvern hills, I am a pyrography artist who burns new and recycled wooden objects to create unique, distinctive pieces of homeware which reflect the quirky beauty of the natural world. I have a penchant for the scaly, slimy and slithery, but am also inspired by more homely flora and fauna – including my border collie, Syd, who frequently accompanies me to markets!
