In this 5 hour course, you will cover the basics of soldering and leave wearing your stone set ring. This is my most popular course and covers a large variety of silversmithing skills. This course is very fiddly and requires good eyesight! You can choose your desired semi-precious stone to work with.  If you would like to make additional rings you can do so for £40 per ring, the average student can’t make more than 3 rings in a day. This course typically runs for 4 hours.

4 Stacking Rings – £90 per person

This is one of the shorter courses I offer, it can be done in 2-3 hours. Although you will learn some very basic soldering skills here, the skills required aren’t quite as refined as the courses above. This is the most accessible silversmithing course I offer and is more suited to teenagers or people with poorer eyesight. You will learn texturising skills and how to solder a simple join!


Sea Glass Jewellery (Ring, Earrings, or Pendant) – £90 per person

During this 6-hour course, you will learn how to set sea glass into silver jewellery! You can either make a ring, earrings (studs or dangle style) or a pendant. Due to its uneven surface sea glass is hard to work with, so I would recommend having a foundation in silversmithing or doing one of my other courses above first. You will get to choose what sea glass you would like to set. You are welcome to bring your own seaglass which you may be able to use.


Precious Metal Clay Jewellery (Ring, Earrings, or Pendant) – £135 per person, includes 20g bag of PMC (RP £50)

This course is suitable for beginners and children, it’s a great play session.

You can cast in gold if desired, but there will be a significant extra cost for this. This can be arranged on the day.

This course runs for 5 hours a day, and makes the most sense to run over the weekend. Silver isn’t included in the cost, but I can give you estimates of how much each project will cost in advance.
