You'll start by getting comfortable at the bench, learning to saw clean shapes from sheet silver, solder joins neatly, and file everything to a smooth, professional finish. By the end of your first few sessions, you'll have a piece you actually want to wear, and the foundational skills that underpin everything else in silversmithing.

You'll learn to set a flat-backed stone simply and securely in silver and then make it your own. Whether you add granulation (tiny silver balls that catch the light), a hand-cut decorative shape, or keep it clean and minimal, this piece is where your personal style starts to show.

This one surprises people. You'll create a necklace with a spinning element which is textured, satisfying to turn between your fingers, and beautiful to wear. It's one of those pieces that people notice and ask about. Great for anyone who likes to keep their hands busy.

Your final guided piece is the most technically ambitious and the most rewarding. You'll make a working locket from scratch: body, lid, hinge, and clasp. A piece with a secret inside. By the time you make this, you'll wonder how you ever thought silversmithing was out of reach.
