LEVEL: Beginners
Create your own sculptural brass hair pin in this relaxed one-day workshop inspired by traditional hair sticks, modern French pins, and contemporary metal hair accessories. Hair pins and hair sticks have been used for centuries across many cultures as both practical objects and wearable adornments, ranging from simple functional forms to decorative jewellery pieces.
Working in brass, you’ll learn how to shape, forge, texture, and finish elegant hair pins designed to be both beautiful and functional. You might choose to create a minimalist hammered pin, an organic forged form, a twisted design, or something more decorative and sculptural, inspired by historical and contemporary examples.
There will be plenty of opportunities to experiment with shape and surface, allowing you to create a piece that reflects your own style while learning practical techniques that can be adapted into future jewellery projects.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with one or more finished brass hair pins ready to wear — functional objects with the feel of small wearable sculptures.
Techniques covered:
  • Saw piercing
  • Forming and forging
  • Hammer texturing
  • Filing and refining
  • Polishing and finishing brass
What you'll get

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.
