Level: Suitable for all
About the course: Start the New Year by learning how to transform a sheet of silver into a unique piece of jewellery! This intensive one-day course will introduce you to the traditional techniques and tools used to make jewellery. Through demonstrations and structured guidance, the course aims to build confidence as you learn techniques such as sawing, soldering, annealing, filing, texturing, and shaping. Participants will start with copper (which has similar working properties to silver) to practise techniques before moving on to silver for a final piece. This course is an ideal introduction if you are taking your first steps in jewellery making but also suitable for returning students who are looking to refresh their existing knowledge!
This course does not include stone setting techniques but is a good building block for learning the techniques you will need to progress to the more advanced techniques of stone setting.
We’ll provide all the things you will need to start making jewellery, including tools, copper, and a small amount of sheet silver. Silver will be available to purchase at an extra cost.
While we do not have a dedicated lunch area, you are welcome to eat at your desk, and we can also recommend nearby places to eat if you prefer.

Hi, I'm Jo, founder of Central Scotland School of Jewellery.
I started making jewellery because I loved the combination of creativity and problem-solving. Jewellery has an amazing way of turning simple materials into something people treasure, and I still find that just as exciting today.
In 2016, I founded Central Scotland School of Jewellery in Dunblane with the aim of making jewellery-making welcoming and accessible to everyone. Since then we've introduced thousands of people to the craft, from complete beginners making their very first ring to experienced jewellers developing specialist skills.
One of the things I'm most proud of is the team we've built. Alongside my own teaching, our workshops are delivered by a carefully selected group of experienced jewellers and specialist tutors, each chosen for their expertise and their friendly, supportive approach. Every tutor teaches to the same high standards that we've developed over the last ten years, so whichever workshop you join, you'll be in expert hands.
The best part of my job is watching someone arrive saying, "I'm not creative, " and leave a few hours later wearing something they've made themselves. That moment of surprise and pride never gets old.
Alongside running the school, I've taught at university level, worked with various national craft organisations, and regularly collaborate on projects that help make jewellery education more accessible.
Whether you're joining us for a fun day out, celebrating a special occasion or discovering a new hobby, we'd love to welcome you to the bench.
