Mothers' Day Silver Jewellery Making Workshop

Silversmithing workshop with Jan Richardson - for you, your mum, a family member, or someone you cherish.



3 hours Class size 1 to 8 guests       £70

Southlands Arts Centre is thrilled to secure the skills of the super Jan Richardson for this workshop.
Celebrate creativity, connection, and the joy of making something meaningful. Held the day before Mothering Sunday, this workshop is a lovely opportunity to spend time with someone special — whether that’s your mum, a family member, a friend, or simply yourself. You can also create a handmade gift for someone you cherish.
Enjoy a relaxed and inspiring morning learning traditional silver jewellery techniques with tutor Jan Richardson. With over 45 years’ experience and as co-author of Silver Jewellery Making, Jan brings deep expertise and a warm, encouraging teaching style. During the workshop, you’ll learn to make either:
  • A pair of personalised earrings, choosing from a selection of focus beads, or
  • Two silver rings, selecting from three different styles — perfect for stacking or gifting.
Please bring £20 for materials, payable directly to Jan. If you work quickly and make more pieces, or prefer to take your time, the materials cost will be adjusted accordingly.
Open to adult women aged 18+. Beginners and those with some experience are equally welcome.
A thoughtful way to mark Mothering Sunday — with togetherness, creativity, and something beautiful to take home.
What you'll get
A pair of earrings, a pendant or rings. If you work quickly you will have time to make more. The cost of materials will be adjusted according to how much silver is used.

Recent reviews of Mothers' Day Silver Jewellery Making Workshop

  • 5/5 from Christina Trenhaile, attended Mar 2026: Jan was a wonderful teacher, we all got to choose the items we wanted to make and there was just the right amount of support so that we felt we were creating the pieces ourselves but with expert help every step of the way. I love the three rings I made and I learnt a lot about the processes involved.
  • 5/5 from Lily Quinn, attended Mar 2026: Really great class, we all finished a project in the time frame (either a set of rings or a pair of earrings) and learnt a lot of skills along the way. The teacher was really informative and very good at explaining and demonstrating skills.
  • 5/5 from Janet Quinn, attended Mar 2026: Lovely, friendly tutor, plus we learned so much! Very enjoyable workshop
  • 5/5 from Alison Quinn, attended Mar 2026: Jan was a superb teacher. Very well equipped and responded to everyone's needs so we all left with beautiful jewellery and a lot of new skills. We were treated to some biscuits and grapes too whilst we were waiting for the finishing process which was very thoughtful. I would thoroughly recommend this workshop to anyone who enjoys crafting or beautiful things.

Southlands Arts Centre is a wonderful Queen Anne Grade 2 listed building with extensive, beautiful grounds. It is the perfect backdrop for all creative people. The Centre is used by people and groups who engage in cultural activities across the fine arts, music, photography, film, and craft design.
We are well known for our exhibitions held throughout the year and attract some amazing artists (many local) who regularly exhibit their work at the Centre. We are also the home for The West London Photo Exhibition and SouthlandsLIVE.
