Create your own beautiful sterling silver bangle with a charm in this immersive and enjoyable workshop. Using traditional silversmithing techniques, you’ll craft a unique bangle to take home and wear with pride.

Our experienced tutor will guide you through every step of the process, showing you how to transform sterling silver into your finished bangle and charm. Along the way, you’ll learn essential jewellery-making skills, including sizing, forming, forging, sawing, filing, sanding, soldering and polishing, while using a range of specialist hand tools.

No previous experience is needed. All tools, materials (including sterling silver) and expert tuition are included, so you can simply enjoy the experience of creating jewellery from scratch.

Your tutor Machi de Waard is a designer/jeweller who has been making modernist jewellery in silver and gold in her studio in Reading, Berkshire for over 17 years.

The course are limited to a maximum of 8 attendees, so you will have expert tuition and we can adapt the teaching to suit your level of skill and desired outcome.

You can do this course as a standalone or book multiple short courses to build up a bank of jewellery and metal smithing skills.

All the tools, materials and teaching needed to produce your bracelet or bangle will be provided. The course takes place at the Bishopsland Educational Trust, Hills Yard, Buscot, Faringdon SN7 8BY.
