The Experience

Perfect for the craft lover in your life or anyone who loves trying something new, this experience invites you to step into the world of traditional silversmithing. Guided by an expert craftsman, you’ll learn the techniques used to shape, form and refine metal into something both beautiful and practical.

Over the course of the day, you’ll create your very own bowl and spoon, working with copper, a material chosen for its similarity to silver, making it ideal for beginners. 

The group is kept small, with no more than six participants, so there’s plenty of one-to-one guidance. With two experienced tutors on hand, you’ll be supported at every step, whether you’re shaping your first curve or adding those final finishing touches.

And it’s not all hammering and polishing. There’s a hearty lunch included to keep you fuelled, along with snacks and drinks throughout the day. Everything you need is provided, from materials to protective gear, all you have to do is turn up and get stuck in.

Once your pieces are complete, they’ll be professionally silver plated and sent out to you within a couple of weeks. So not only do you get a memorable day out, but you’ll also receive two handmade items to show off and casually mention you made yourself.
