Quiet Thunder Co - Art, Personalised Jewellery & Creative Workshops
The creative studio of Manchester artist Suzanne Halliwell. Original mixed-media art, bespoke personalised jewellery, and workshops for those ready to make something that means something.
The Unseen Thread
My first solo exhibition has just closed at Saan 1 Gallery, Manchester. The work is now available.
Goddess works, seascapes, mixed media and limited edition prints, each piece from a body of work years in the making. A small number of exhibition books from the private view are also available, while stocks last.
ART
Original and limited-edition artworks exploring connection, memory, and the unseen threads that bind us.
Working with paint, paper, stitch, and metal leaf, each piece is created slowly and intentionally, inviting quiet reflection and emotional resonance.
WORKSHOPS
Gentle creative workshops designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and make something meaningful.
From intimate studio sessions to corporate wellbeing workshops, each experience offers a calm, supportive space - no experience needed.
PERSONALISED JEWELLERY
Hand-stamped jewellery made to hold meaning.
Each piece is personalised with words, dates, initials, or co-ordinates, creating modern talismans to mark people, places, and moments that matter.
Creative Workshops
Join me for a hand stamped jewellery workshop and leave with a piece you have made yourself - personalised with words, dates, initials or coordinates that mean something to you.
Workshops run regularly across Bolton and Manchester. No experience needed. All materials provided.
Let customers speak for us
Absolutely amazing workshop, I enjoyed every minute, loved learning how to create beautiful jewellery.
Thank you Suzanne.
I really enjoyed the workshop. I learned some new techniques and had great creative fun. The workshop was relaxed and friendly and held in a great setting. Highly recommend attending.
This was a gorgeous day of creativity in the company of like minded people with meditation, yin yoga and delicious food in a beautiful serene setting .
I loved all of it and especially being able to take home something that I had learned to create!
This was the 2nd time I've attended one of Suzanne's retreat days. The venue was perfect; providing a warm and nurturing space. Suzanne
gave us the perfect blend of relaxation, mindfulness, a tasty nutritional lunch, watercolour painting and mini workshop, plus a taste of nature. I left feeling so calm and relaxed. Amazing that we did so much in one day, but nothing felt rushed. Suzanne's time management and attention to detail are commendable.
I ordered this for my sisters birthday and it’s genuinely one of the most beautiful pieces of jewellery she owns. It’s beautifully crafted and the communication process was perfect- Suze made sure it was exactly in my image. Will definitely be ordering again xxx
Such a beautiful way to spend the weekend…Suzanne is so knowledgeable showing techniques and use of colours.
Great group of like minded people you leave totally relaxed , inspired and looking forward to the next time. Thank you
What a relaxing way to spend a few hours on a Sunday morning learning a new skill and going home with a memento. I went with my daughter and my friend and her daughter and it was interesting to see our different approaches to making our marks on the metal. There was a huge selection of stamps to use so design possibilities were limited only by imagination really. There was also a choice of metals to enable you to produce a ring, necklace or bracelet. I have a nickel allergy and my questions about the metals used were answered in advance so that I knew I would be safe. All you need to take is the willingness to have a go.
What a gorgeous workshop… Suzanne was so incredibly lovely, really knowledgeable and supportive. Absolutely loved it
This is my 5th piece of custom made jewellery from
Suze and I absolutely love it 🥰

Suzanne was fabulous at guiding us to create our own unique pieces. It was so much fun hammering away and making beautiful jewellery. Thank you
This is my 4th piece of custom made jewellery from Suze and I’m sure it won’t be my last. Love the uniqueness of everything she makes. I’m definitely a fan 😃💚
A lovely calm and relaxing experience. A good varied range of experiences on offer to make the day more engaging and thoughtful.
Really enjoyed the workshop, it was so creative and inspiring in beautiful surroundings, thank you!
This was my second vision board workshop with Suze. Always thoroughly enjoy. Suze gently guides and encourages with her creativity. I wholeheartedly recommend any of her workshops, you won’t be disappointed 💚
Beautiful creations - one for each of my daughters as a treasured keepsake of their own and their parents birthplaces with place ordinates and carefully selected 'stitched around' associated images. Mounted on 2 bound together presentation sheets beautifully enhanced with dried flowers each representing the daughter's names. Perfect gifts very well received and to keep forever.
