The Bill Skinner Studio,
Otford, Sevenoaks & Tenterden
www.billskinnerstudio.co.uk
Bill Skinner has plenty of experience when
it comes to jewellery; he studied at Sir John
Cass College of Art, and worked for different
companies in Hatton Garden before setting
up on his own to become a freelance
designer and craftsman. It was his pattern
making that first got him noticed, and that,
along with his eye for detail, has meant that
his work has always attracted critical
acclaim. Working with the likes of Vivien
Westwood and Butler and Wilson, Bill
Skinner’s expertise grew, and in January
2012 he launched the Bill Skinner range of
jewellery, which is stocked in House of
Fraser and Fenwicks, as well as hundreds
of independent shops.
