Beginners Jewellery Course (6 weeks)

Learn the fundamentals of silversmithing in a warm, supportive environment designed especially for beginners. Over six weekly sessions, you’ll build core skills step by step, starting with copper before progressing to silver.

Each week focuses on a key technique, with plenty of hands-on practice and guidance throughout:

Week 1: Sawing practice and tool handling

Week 2: Personal project development

Week 3: Soldering, jump rings and bales — you’ll finish the session with a completed pendant

Week 4: Ring-making in copper or brass

Week 5: Silver ring-making — take home your own finished silver ring

Week 6: Personal project and skill consolidation

All materials are included, along with supporting handouts. Silver is charged separately by weight.

Please note: Your booking date is week 1, and the course runs weekly from then.

Age restrictions: 18+
