Five Week Silver Jewellery Course

from £685.00

5 × 2 hour 45 minute sessions

“Excellent course, in a well appointed space, delivered with humour and style” - student feedback.

Based in Horsford this silver jewellery course will teach you the basics and so much more. During 2.3/4 hours each week we will cover how to make a wide range of jewellery to a high standard will giving you an excellent foundation to build upon if you are looking to carry this on as a hobby or as a side hustle. By the end of this course you will be not only experienced in how silver works, but confident in creating your own masterpieces.

Suitable both for complete beginners and those who have dabbled but are looking to level up their skills, I provide you with all the materials, recycled silver (over £150 worth) and consumables you need (more than enough silver to make everything so you can keep what is left to start to build up your own stash), a folder full of print outs and information, PDFs, tea, coffee, and all round general support and encouragement.

I have all the tools and equipment; my aim is to give you maximum bang for your buck, a one stop shop to get up and running with not only making your own silver jewellery, but knowing how to make it well. You will have me on hand to ask any silver questions including how to set your own studio/work area.


Each course is limited to two people so you will meet another like minded person - unless you book the pick your own dates which is a one to one course. The pace will be relaxed and there will be plenty of time for as many questions as you would like to ask. This course is your chance to have access to a professional and ask anything and everything, while learning the skills.

What you will learn/make:

Week 1.
You will create two rings, using different shapes of silver. This is not only a great introduction to making silver jewellery but making the two rings together helps you understand how to accurately size rings.
One of these rings will be used in week five when you will be learning how to bezel set a stone.

Week 2.

Soldering and sawing week. You will learn a variety of ways of soldering, and develop a deep understanding of why and how solder works. This session is so valuable to everything you will make in future - when you understand solder everything is so much easier.

Week 3.
You will create two pairs of earrings, and learn different ways of texturing your silver.

Week 4.
You will create a necklace with a tube set stone. A lovely introduction to this setting technique.

Week 5.
The final week you will learn how to bezel set a stone onto your ring from week 1.

Payment plans available - 60% required upfront to confirm your place, remaining 40% to be paid prior to week 3. If you would like this option please email me here

As well as a wealth of informative printouts, and weekly emails after each session, you will receive my PDFs
How to accurately work out ring sizes
Ring sizing chart
Equipment for home soldering (links to the best value for money equipment)
Setting yourself up equipment (links to the best value for money equipment)

These help take out the confusion of starting up at home - there is a wealth of information online which is sometimes conflicting. These PDFs have you covered.

Once you have completed this course you will be able to come back for add on sessions to create your own project, with my guidance when you require it.

You will get to ask me as many questions about all things silver and aspects of my business, I am open and honest (no gatekeeping here) and passionate about what I do and helping others to do it too. You will have the benefit from my decades of experience, and I will pass on all my tips and tricks - I’ve made the mistakes so you don’t have to! I will teach you how to get the most out of your silver, and how to make with both time and material efficiency.
