Our most intense beginners course yet! This course will run for three consecutive full days from 11am-5pm.
This three day course is the perfect fast track to becoming a silversmith. You’ll spend three creative, productive days in our fully equipped studio learning a variety of skills. You’ll also take home multiple pieces of finished jewellery at the end of each day.
Once you have booked this workshop you’ll be sent a short questionnaire to fill in which will help us get to know you a little more and understand what you want to achieve in terms of skills and style.

Day 1
On your first day in our studio we’ll introduce you to the basics of silversmithing. This will involve making a sterling silver ring. You can stamp, pattern, texture or even add a stone to your very first ring. We will then move on to making a ring or two from your own design!
Day 2
We’ll begin the day by introducing you to the jeweller’s saw. This tool is used to hand saw shapes and intricate designs into silver. This is a crucial part of silversmithing, so we’ll spend half the day learning all about it and creating different elements in silver, copper, and brass which we’ll then piece together during the second half of the day to create beautiful jewellery.
Day 3
Your final day with us is all about stone setting and delving into more complicated techniques. We’ll help you create a beautiful piece of jewellery which will feature a bezel setting. This is a style of setting which holds a cabochon stone in place. You’ll hand fabricate the setting entirely yourself with your choice of stone.
