What you'll do
Learn how to forge in this private experience with Bristol creator Charlotte, from The Silver Duck. During this day-long experience you’ll create a bangle design, before using a hammer to move your silver and make a beautiful and unique forged bangle.
You’ll be able to forge your bangle to create a tapered effect with varying thickness, depending on your chosen design. You’ll also have the option of soldering your bracelet to seal it or keeping it open and adjustable. Charlotte is an experienced and creative silversmith and jewellery maker and will take you through each part of the process step by step. You’ll not only go away with your own personal bangle but also the experience of using the tools and techniques used by silversmiths.

About The Silver Duck
For Charlotte, it all started when she was given a wire jewellery making kit as a gift. She was already interested in art and design but after creating those jewellery pieces she decided to study for her degree in silversmithing, metalwork and jewellery. Charlotte now makes her work out of her Old Market Manor studio, a space she shares with other creatives from jewellery makers to woodworkers. She's passionate about sharing her craft and giving people a glimpse of the techniques and the time it takes to work with silver. Charlotte’s aim with all her experiences is to allow people to be creative, have fun and go away with a piece they’ll be proud of.
