In this silver jewellery-making experience in Wallingford, South Oxfordshire, you will have the opportunity to create your very own one-of-a-kind seaglass or scrap pottery pendant necklace.
During the workshop, you will learn how to select a piece of glass or pottery to use for your necklace. You'll then wrap it in recycled fine silver, resulting in a truly unique piece to take home with you at the end of the class.
  • Learn the basics of silversmithing techniques such as sawing, filing, soldering, shaping the silver over your chosen stone, and polishing.
  • Your tutor will provide guidance every step of the way, ensuring a supportive and encouraging environment for beginners.
  • No prior experience is required - this class is designed for those who are new to silversmithing and jewellery making.
Working with these materials and techniques may seem daunting at first, but the experience will leave you feeling inspired and accomplished. Embrace the creative process and enjoy the satisfaction of bringing your vision to life.
By the end of the class, you will not only have experienced working with silver but also have a beautiful piece of jewellery to showcase - a pendant necklace that reflects your personal style and creativity.

  • 5/5 from Heather Phillips, attended Jun 2026: Jen was an absolutely amazing teacher, very patient and helped me to create a fabulous necklace which was a very special experience! I would recommend this experience to anyone.
  • 5/5 from Susan Watts, attended Jun 2026: We were very pleased we signed up for this class. It was made all the more enjoyable because Jen, the course leader, was so helpful and patient, especially as I had chosen a tricky, but beautiful, piece of glass to encase in the silver. Both Jan and I, Sue, were thrilled with our pendants at the end of the course. We may return to add to our collection. Thank you Jen.
  • 5/5 from Virginia Davis, attended Apr 2026: Im in love with the pendant Jen helped me make and I’ll definitely be back. Jen was a great patient teacher. My friend and I are deaf and Jen made sure we understood what she was explaining.
