FORGE was born out of our founder’s passion to celebrate Hatton Garden’s heritage, promote UK design and protect craft skills, by offering business support and affordable workspace to Artisans and future talent. 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.
There are over 100 jewellery shops in Hatton Garden, but FORGE isn’t just another jewellery shop – it’s a destination where you can buy jewellery, learn skills, and make jewellery too. It offers unique jewellery collections by independent Designer, affordable co-working space for established and new Artisans, jewellery making and skills improvement workshops for all levels and experiences, demonstrations, talks, networking, social events, and a whole lot more – all under one roof!
FORGE is a multipurpose creative hub and retails space. The versatile ground floor transforms between a retail showroom, jewellery making workshop and events space. 24 showcases provide selling opportunities to independent designer makers who would like to showcase & promote their work – highlighting the unique design and expert making skills FORGE is dedicated to preserving and promoting.
On the lower level – a secure and fully equipped communal workshop with full time and drop-in benches allows makers to develop and grow their practice through affordable space in a supportive, sharing and learning environment.
