ABOUT

A studio in the woods,
a bench for everyone

The Berkshire Metal Shed is the studio of artist, goldsmith and educator Shauna Burke — a maker with over 30 years of experience who believes that everyone has the ability to create something beautiful with their hands.

Shauna brings the same warmth and expertise to her Berkshires studio that she brings to the college classroom, offering hands-on workshops in metalsmithing and jewelry design for all skill levels.

Whether you're picking up a torch for the first time or looking to deepen your craft, you'll find a welcoming space here to learn, create, and surprise yourself.
