About

Easthope

Easthope Studio is the culmination of a lifetime of obsessions: beads, making, creating, and the joy of community. It began in a bright little bead shop in Brighton, twiddling tiny glass beads for hours, and grew through every career imaginable,from sales to fashion, marketing, human behaviour, curation, research, development… and coffee!

The studio has evolved from silver and gold smithing to a focus on traditional lampworking techniques, all designed by Harriet and made in the tiny attic studio in Shropshire. Glass comes from Italy, and every scrap is saved and reused wherever possible, reflecting a careful, considered approach to making.

At its heart, Easthope is driven by curiosity and the persistent need to ask Why. Why does glass behave this way? Why does a colour feel like this? Why does a workshop feel alive when hands are busy and minds are wandering? That curiosity shapes every bead, charm, and necklace that leaves the studio. I have to understand why a piece speaks to a person.

Every piece is handmade, using a mix of new, vintage, and rescued materials, with care taken in every twist, coil, and layer of lampwork. The jewellery carries the fingerprints of its making, the subtle, unique variations that make each piece unmistakably yours. Workshops invite you to experience this process: to slow down, explore, and create something of your own to be proud of.

In the physical shop, Yes, you can find ,e IRL, you'll find Easthope pieces, you’ll find a small selection of artists’ work and vintage treasures I love, objects that spark my imagination and that I hope will spark yours too. It’s been a joy to see Easthope stocked in some incredible shops and featured in Marie Claire, Red Magazine, The Telegraph, and Cosmopolitan, a humbling reminder of the curiosity and care that fuels everything we do.

You’ll find me most days in the Shrewsbury Indoor Market, and when I’m not there, I’m in the home studio, making and experimenting, chasing the next colour, shape, or idea.

At its heart, Easthope Studio is about small, meaningful things, something unserious, jewellery to live with, experiences to remember, and the quiet joy of making by hand. And maybe a tiny glass cigarette that somehow is your new fave thing!
