HALF-DAY WORKSHOPS AND 10-WEEK COURSES

silversmithing workshops
jewellery making classes

 Join me (Alf), the firestarter behind this brand, for jewellery-making experiences that are more rebellion than polite craft class.

 

In my Kent studio, rules are bent (safely), creativity runs riot, and you walk away with something real: bold, imperfectly perfect, and unmistakably yours.

 

From half-day workshops to 10-week deep dives, it’s all about daring to try, daring to learn, and daring to leave with something that feels like you.

​

​

HALF-DAY WORKSHOPS

These aren’t your average “sip tea and follow instructions” sessions. They’re hands-on, laughter-filled, slightly chaotic (in the best way), and designed to push you past safe and into stand-out.

 

You’ll learn how to measure, cut, file, solder, shape, texture, and polish sterling silver -  the same skills I use every day. By the end, you’ll take home not just a finished piece of jewellery, but the buzz of having made something brave with your own two hands.

 

Cake, tea, and biscuits keep you fuelled, and with only 5 spaces per workshop, it’s intimate, daring, and guaranteed to sell out.

 

Want to gift someone bold enough to try it? Vouchers are available online (instant hero points for you).

10-WEEK COURSES

Ready to boss silver into shape? My 10-week courses are for the curious, the gutsy, and anyone willing to swap “perfect” for powerful. Whether you’re brand new or you’ve dabbled before, you’ll spend each week in my freshly revamped Kent studio, saw in hand, hammer swinging, torch blazing, learning proper techniques alongside the rebellious tricks I’ve picked up over the years!

 

Over 2.5 hours each week, you’ll cut, solder, shape, and polish your own creations, building both skill and confidence (and probably bashing a few things into submission along the way).

 

Small class sizes mean big creativity, and spaces are limited: £285 for the full course, Monday or Friday afternoons, starting late September.

 

No experience needed. Just curiosity, guts, and a willingness to dare yourself.

 

First come, first served.  Email me to secure your place: alf@thesoldersmith.co.uk

Thank you very much for the lovely day we had in your workshop yesterday.  You made us so welcome and we really enjoyed the whole session. It was so interesting seeing the many skills, materials and tools involved in making jewellery and particularly being able to experience using some of them. Even better, with your help and support, to actually produce a pair of earrings which we are very pleased with and will enjoy wearing.

What a wonderful experience! Alf was the perfect host for our afternoon's workshop. She was able to advise us on potential designs and guide us through the process of making our chosen item. Thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and the finished product. Thank you Alf, highly recommend you 😃

DAVID

Just had a really enjoyable afternoon with Alf at her ring making workshop. She promised we would be taking home a ring each which we had designed and made and we did! She was patient and friendly and we learnt so much! Would really recommend this experience to anyone wanting to try something new and creative.
