Teresa Crickmar works from a beautifully equipped workshop and studio in Lode, Cambridgeshire. Her practice brings together teaching jewellery-making skills, designing and creating meaningful jewellery for her brand Dea + Me, and a deep respect for energy, nature, and wellbeing. These elements are closely connected, each one quietly informing the others.
 

Teresa believes there is more to the world than what we can see or touch. Her understanding of Reiki and Earth energy found her at a time when she was deeply sceptical, and this experience continues to influence how she works. While she is not currently offering Reiki sessions, its principles are woven into her approach. She often begins classes with a short grounding moment, helping people arrive, settle, and feel present before making.
 

Community and shared knowledge sit at the heart of Teresa’s teaching. She welcomes people of all genders and identities and creates a space that is LGBTQ friendly and neurodiverse friendly. Passing on skills, building confidence, and supporting individual ways of learning are central to her work. Not everyone finds balance or healing through conventional routes, and creativity, connection, and time to work with the hands can be deeply supportive.
 

The studio itself is light, calm, and thoughtfully set up, offering a place for both play and discovery. Teresa’s teaching style is warm and encouraging, allowing people to learn at their own pace while feeling supported, seen, and part of a creative community.
