Metalatelier Reviews 21

Anna is a unique artist and craftswoman. An excellent mix of old world techniques with new world design sensibilities. Truly unique jewelry that you won’t find anywhere else.

I have bought several pieces from Metal Atelier and will keep doing so! The designer Anna Butwell's aesthetic is edgy yet soft and emotive. Her jewelry is sand casted, bringing earth and hand together into the beautiful "made by hand" objects we so crave in our modern digital times... And each of her pieces is truly a work of worn art. Also customer service is extremely responsive, with regular communications about order status and prompt shipping!

Anna is an amazing teacher! She thought me how to sandcastle a ring I designed and now wearing everyday.

I adore my ring.

My Metal Atelier pieces are my favorites. I keep having to repurchase the same ring impulsively gifted to friends who admire it. Cheeky, edgy, solid and a joy to wear.

Great designs, careful shipping (and all that customer service jazz), plus liberal use of the f-word!

Anna is delightful & very talented. I have a pair of her silver earrings which I love & people comment on them whenever I wear them!

I had some custom skull earrings made for my wife. They came out so cool! Quality was awesome and she was super easy to work with.

Anna is so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Can only recommend her as a teacher, jeweler, and person!!!

I’ve purchased several pieces from Metalatelier as gifts for my wife, and they’ve all been a huge hit. I don’t know how to put my finger on it exactly, but every so often I’ll come across a piece on her site and it just clicks. It’s so uniquely her that I know my wife is going to love it, and she always does.

The designs are distinctive, artistic, and unlike anything else I’ve come across. Every piece feels special and personal rather than mass-produced.

I also love being able to treat my wife to something truly unique while supporting a talented independent artist. On top of that, the service has always been excellent. Orders ship quickly, arrive reliably, and the whole experience is seamless.

If you’re looking for jewelry with real character and originality, I can’t recommend Metalatelier highly enough.

I learned silversmithing from Anna at Metal Atelier over the course of 2 years, and it completely changed my life creatively. She helped me go from making my very first silver pieces to building my home studio to continue creating on my own. Her teaching style is warm, supportive, and incredibly motivating. I couldn’t recommend her classes more.

Just like her creations, Anna's workshops are one of a kind. Whether you're looking to dip your finger (pun intended) in jewelry making or repurpose treasured heirlooms, Metalatelier definitely counts among the best of Berlin. Can't recommend enough!

I've done two sand-casting workshops at Metal Atelier, about a year apart, and they rank among the most rewarding creative experiences I've had. Each ran over several Tuesday evenings across a month, ending with a ring I'd made entirely myself: carving the wax, packing the sand mold, melting and pouring the metal, then filing and polishing the finished piece.
Both designs came from my tattoos, a star and a lightning bolt, and Anna, the owner and instructor, was brilliant at helping me translate those ideas into something actually castable. She never just said "that won't work." She explained why something was tricky and then helped me make it work anyway. That patience and creative problem-solving made all the difference.
The studio is welcoming, fun, and has a genuinely cool vibe. I wear both rings constantly and get complimented on them regularly, which feels extra special knowing I made them myself.
If you're intimidated by the idea of working with metal and fire: don't be. Zero experience needed. Anna makes it feel safe, accessible, and genuinely fun. Highly recommend.

I may be Metal Atelier’s biggest collector! Pieces with attitude, chains, and gems sprinkled all over them? Sold, every time. If you’ve ever wished for a punk rock metalsmith, look no further.

I’ve attended several workshops with Anna, and every single one was a fantastic experience. I love all the jewellery pieces I made, and the workshops are always fun, inspiring, and welcoming. I can recommend them 100%!

The atelier is right in the heart of Kreuzberg and perfectly reflects Anna’s unique style. If you’re looking for one of a kind jewellery and a memorable creative experience, you’ve come to the right place.

Love,

Best teacher I know! I get compliments on m rings all the time and I always recommend taking a class with Anna! So if you think about it - do it!

My wife and I did a ring making class and absolutely loved the experience. Super knowledgeable, patient and fun to be around. We are already booking our next class for November! Can’t wait

Ana made our wedding rings last year. The process was super smooth and she offers styles and a super cool look we couldn’t find anywhere else in Berlin, she also had the patience of a saint. Would very highly recommend!

Did a workshop with Anna - she knows her craft and is a wonderful teacher. Her jewellery is outstanding - perfect quality and super cool designs. I can highly recommend her and her business.
