SHOPPING AND MARKETS BRAYS CREEK

This quaint and quirky silversmith studio is a must-see on your travels when visiting the Tweed hinterland. Located on the main street of charming Tyalgum village, the studio is brimming with an inspiring collection of upcycled and vintage furnishings, housed within a delightful, original historic wooden building. There are many intriguing artefacts and vintage jewellery making tools on display, including an anvil whose provenance is from the south of France, 1700. The jewellery on display is handcrafted on site, and as this is a working studio, you can catch local silversmith Kirra Springs at work at her bench Wednesday to Sunday, from 10am - 4pm. All pieces are one of a kind, using only eco friendly precious metals and ethically-sourced, high grade stones. ...
