What you'll do
Are you interested in learning the art of silversmithing? Look no further! Join our silversmithing class in Reading and embark on a creative journey where you will not only learn the skills of silversmithing but also create your own stunning silver jewelry to take home.
In this workshop, designed for beginners and those with some experience, you will start by creating a ring out of copper, before moving on to crafting 1-2 rings in sterling silver.
Time permitting, additional silver can be purchased to make more rings at a cost of £15.00 per ring
Our experienced instructor will guide you through the process step by step, ensuring you learn the essential skills needed to measure your fingers, cut the correct size copper and silver, anneal and shape the metals, and go on to saw, solder, and cure them. Finally, you will learn the art of buffing and polishing, bringing your jewellery to a dazzling high shine finish.
Our silversmithing class in Reading is highly interactive, allowing you to explore your creativity while receiving support and guidance as needed. The class runs for 2.5 hours, and although occasionally it may overrun slightly to ensure the completion of your piece, rest assured that you will have plenty of time to perfect your craftsmanship.
Don't worry if you're new to silversmithing; this workshop is specifically designed to alleviate any fears and make you feel comfortable. Our friendly instructor will be there every step of the way, ensuring you gain confidence and develop your skills. Whether you're a complete beginner or have some prior experience, this class is perfect for anyone looking to learn silversmithing or build on their existing skills.
At the end of the workshop, not only will you have acquired valuable silversmithing knowledge, but you will also leave with your handcrafted copper and sterling silver rings. This transformative experience will inspire you to continue your silversmithing journey and create more beautiful jewellery in the future.

Your teacher
Hi my name is Carol. I started my jewellery journey at the tender age of 13, learning how to make beaded jewellery, before moving onto wire wrapping and eventually silversmithing.
I had spent many years teaching before deciding to open my very own jewellery academy, where I could teach the jewellery subject areas I wanted to teach.
In 2019, I finally took the plunge and La Jade Jewellery Academy was created, allowing me to teach what once started as my hobby and later turned into my passion..
La Jade Jewellery Academy currently runs courses in various locations across Reading and Merseyside.
