As you build on your existing skills, this jewellery-making class will show you how to create two beautiful, more advanced pieces to take home: a bespoke ring and either a pendant or charm featuring a stone setting. Ideal if you’ve already completed a taster session or have some basic experience working with silver clay, this creative, hands-on workshop is the perfect opportunity to develop your technique, gain confidence, and explore new design possibilities.
You’ll be guided through the activity step by step, so you can deepen your understanding of the material in a relaxed, supportive environment. Working in a small, friendly group, you’ll receive plenty of one-to-one guidance and reassurance as you revisit core techniques and learn how to construct, fire, finish, and achieve a professional-quality result.
Throughout the session, you’ll refine your skills in:
  • Rolling, shaping, and texturing silver clay
  • Designing and creating your bespoke ring
  • Making full use of a wide selection of stamps, cutters, and texture tools
  • Learning how to successfully set a stone within silver clay
  • Adding a striking focal point to your pendant or charm
  • Developing more advanced skills in construction, stone setting, firing, and finishing
As your pieces are fired, they’ll transform into solid 999 fine silver - ready to be polished, assembled, and worn with pride. You’ll work with silver clay, stones, stamps, cutters, and texture tools, with all tools, materials, and refreshments included. Simply bring your creativity and enjoy a rewarding workshop that builds on your silver clay journey, helps you discover how to create more intricate jewellery, and leaves you with two unique, handcrafted pieces to treasure.

Hi, I’m Katy, the jeweller and founder behind Silver Daisy Jewellery Studio in the heart of St Albans.
I’ve been making jewellery for many years, and what started as a love of creating by hand has grown into a career designing, making and now teaching jewellery. There’s still something a little magical about taking a simple piece of silver and, using traditional tools and techniques, transforming it into something beautiful that can be worn and treasured for years.
My jewellery-making journey has included lots of learning along the way. I completed all three levels of Precious Metal Clay (PMC) certification in 2009 and have studied silversmithing at college as well as attending many specialist classes over the years. More recently, I completed both the Fine Jewellery Diploma and Advanced Jewellery Diploma with Jewellers Academy, developing my skills in traditional and fine jewellery-making techniques.
But one of the things I’ve discovered I enjoy most is sharing those skills with other people.
That led me to create Silver Daisy Jewellery Studio – my dedicated jewellery-making space in St Albans, where creativity, craftsmanship and connection come together. It’s a bright, welcoming and professionally equipped studio where I can introduce people to the wonderful world of jewellery making in a relaxed and friendly environment.
My workshops are genuinely hands-on. Depending on the class you choose, you might find yourself sawing, hammering, texturing, shaping, soldering and polishing silver, using many of the same traditional tools and techniques I use to make my own jewellery.
And you absolutely don’t need to have made jewellery before.
I love seeing people arrive telling me they’re “not creative” or wondering whether they’ll be able to do it, then watching their confidence grow as their piece begins to take shape. That moment at the end of a workshop when someone looks at what they’ve created and says, “I actually made this!” never gets old.
I also think the experience around the making matters. My classes are intentionally small and friendly, so there’s plenty of individual guidance and time to enjoy the process rather than feeling rushed. There’s always tea, coffee and some lovely biscuits too!
People come to the studio for all sorts of reasons – to try something they’ve always wanted to do, spend time with a friend or loved one, celebrate a birthday or hen party, or simply escape everyday life for a few hours and do something completely different.
For me, jewellery making is about much more than the finished piece. It’s about slowing down, working with your hands, learning a new skill and experiencing the satisfaction of turning raw materials into something that is uniquely yours.
I’d love to welcome you to my St Albans studio, introduce you to the craft I love, and help you experience that very special feeling of being able to say, “I made this.”
