6-Week Silversmithing Course

Flawless craftsmanship, essential skills, and creative techniques

With a small class size in our beautiful, welcoming studio, you'll learn from a knowledgeable and patient tutor who believes in teaching proper techniques—no unnecessary gadgets, just real skills. Together, we’ll focus on developing essential silversmithing techniques, exploring creative practices, and mastering traditional craft to build both your confidence and your creativity.

We’ve put together this 6-week silversmithing course for anyone who wants to build their skills, refine their finishing techniques, and start developing their own style. Each week, we’ll guide you through essential techniques like soldering, sawing, stone setting, and polishing, but we also want you to explore your creativity and learn the little details that make a piece feel truly yours.

Jewellery-making isn’t just about learning the steps—it’s about refining them and understanding how to push your work to the next level. That’s why we’ve designed this course to focus on three things:

  • Craftsmanship that sets your work apart – It’s the little details that make a piece stand out—clean solder joins, smooth finishes, and polishing that brings everything together. We’ll show you how to take your work from rough to refined, without losing that handmade character.

  • Essential skills, taught properly – We cover the techniques that every jeweller needs, from soldering to stone setting, so you feel confident making well-constructed, wearable jewellery. These are the foundations you’ll build on for years to come.

  • Techniques that let you get creative – Learning the basics is important, but we also want to help you explore what makes your work yours. From textures to gold accents to stone setting, we’ll show you ways to experiment and develop your own style.
