“A fun way to learn new skills in a calm and welcoming environment.
"Your passion was so clear I felt I could have chatted to you for hours about your craft!"
"Every step was explained perfectly and I felt very comfortable using the tools and equipment! It gave me a good understanding of silversmithing and all the wonderful things that can come out of it!"
Workshops
I offer a variety of silver workshops in my private studio in Horsford, Norfolk.
Check out “Which workshop is right for you” and “What to expect” on the drop down menu for more information
Are you a venue, company or institution looking for something new to offer? I can come and hold a workshop for you. All I need are sturdy tables, good lighting, access to electric sockets, a sink and free parking for me and I can bring everything else I need. Email me at Suzanne@seedsilversmith.co.uk to discuss further.
Coming to a workshop is a chance to relax and unwind. To immerse yourself in a new experience and tap into your creative side. Not only do you get to enjoy making yourself a new piece of jewellery but you also leave with a greater understanding of silver, how it works, and first hand knowledge of the different processes used in creating handmade silver jewellery.
Workshops are held at a relaxed pace, with only you (and your friend/partner if you have booked to come together) and myself at any time. You are made to feel comfortable and there will be plenty of opportunities for questions and to take photographs to document the processes.
Once you have purchased the workshop I will be in touch to arrange a mutually convenient date. I am flexible so these can be held during the week or on Saturdays (please be mindful that Saturdays book up quickly), depending on availability. You can find my current availability here Please be mindful that to secure a date you will need to purchase the session via the SHOP area of the website. Sessions must be held within 12 months of purchase.
Many people want to delve into silversmithing but don’t know where to start - this is perfect. I make the experience as stress free as possible; I provide everything you need while demonstrating each step. I am always on hand to answer as many questions as you may have - no question is silly.
"The pace was perfect. I couldn't believe how the time flew, though. It was nice to be able to chat and have a cuppa."
“I had such a lovely morning and have been recommending the ring-making workshop to all my friends and family"
"You were very welcoming and patient. You explained everything step by step and also worked on an example at the same time, so that I could see exactly what I needed to do for each step. You also explained and demonstrated something that I asked about. A wonderful and exciting experience for someone who just loves to create beautiful things"
Create Your Own
If you would like to make something you don’t see listed, please get in touch. I offer a bespoke Create Your Own option. If you have a pre-loved silver or gold jewellery, or silverware, and would like to explore using those to create new pieces please do get in touch, I offer a Revive and Recycle workshop. These are tailored to the items used and will be priced once we have discussed the options.
