What is Silversmithing?
Silversmithing takes metalsmithing a step further.
It’s the process of working with silver using more advanced techniques — cutting, shaping, soldering, refining and finishing — to create pieces that are more detailed, precise, and considered.
It’s still hands-on and a little noisy, but it requires more control, patience, and attention to detail. You’re not just forming metal — you’re learning how to join, refine, and bring a piece together properly.
Why You’ll Love It
If you’re ready to go beyond the basics, this is where it starts to get really satisfying.
You’ll learn more technical skills, work more closely with your materials, and create jewellery that feels more refined and intentional.
No pressure, no perfection — just building skills, gaining confidence, and making something that didn’t exist before.
Choose Your Course
Below you’ll find a selection of silversmithing courses focused on building more refined, technical skills.
Each workshop is centred around a specific outcome — from silver earrings and bangles to ring making and wedding bands — giving you the chance to develop precision while creating something meaningful.
Choose the piece you’re drawn to, and learn the techniques needed to bring it to life.
Silversmithing - Textured Silver Earrings
Recycled Sterling Silver, Texture, and Fire
If polished, perfect jewellery isn’t your thing — good. This is about marks, texture, and pieces that actually feel like they’ve been made (because they have).
You’ll take recycled sterling silver, hammer it, mark it with tools, and leave your own textures in the surface — turning it into earrings that look nothing like anything off a shelf.
Perfect for adults who:
• are over smooth, same-same jewellery
• like pieces with texture, depth, and a bit of edge
• want something that feels raw, not manufactured
• want to make something from scratch (and actually enjoy the process)

Silversmithing - Textured Bangles
Finally, A Bangle That Actually Fits
Solid silver. Raw texture. And finally… a bangle that fits.
Too tight. Too loose. Too flimsy. Too basic.
Finding a good bangle shouldn’t be this hard.
So instead of settling, you’ll make your own — from recycled sterling silver that actually has some weight, texture, and presence.
Perfect for adults who:
• can never find bangles that fit properly (why is this so hard?)
• are over thin, bendy, mass-produced pieces
• want something raw, textured, and a bit more solid
• want to wear something and say “I made this”
You’ll measure your own size (no guessing), then cut, shape, hammer, texture, and play with a flame to solder it all together — leaving your marks in the metal.
What's Included
- 5 hours of creative fun
- Create 2 solid textured bangles (1 x Sterling Silver & 1 x Copper/Brass)

Silversmithing -Wedding Bands
Your Story, Set In Metal
No bling. No stones. No polished perfect. Just raw silver or gold, texture, and rings that feel like they’ve actually been made.
If you’re not into shiny, traditional wedding bands, this is your way of doing it differently — simple, solid rings with marks, texture, and a bit of edge.
Perfect for couples who:
• don’t want diamonds, sparkle, or anything flashy
• prefer raw, textured, slightly imperfect jewellery
