At Silver & Steel we love to host private groups and teams for jewellery making workshops and tuition in our bespoke jewellery studio in Bedminster. Whether you are a few family members working on something special, or a larger group of friends or booking something for your colleagues, we love to give the best experience and share the joy of jewellery making.
Silversmithing is great for a get together to catch up, learn or develop a skill, or just have a peaceful creative session with your favourite people. You’ll even come away with precious jewellery that you’ve made yourself!
Contact us directly to book your private jewellery session.
We will need an idea of how many in your group and what jewellery you are hoping to make or what skill you are looking to develop or try out. However if you’re not sure we are happy to talk you through the options. We can even source a tutor who specialises in a skill you’re hoping to learn.
We will release a booking invoice for the total amount of time up front and paying this secures your date. Materials can be pre-paid for so that you have nothing to worry about on the day, or we can charge each person depending on what they use on the day. Whatever works best for your group!
Play with metal clay, textures and sparkly stones to create a personal silver charm that you can add to other jewellery.
Bestseller for a reason! You can even stamp your name or your pets name on the inside.
Want to learn something in more detail or practice skills you have with support in a private environment. Perhaps there's something we don't offer in a taster workshop that you can try. Think secific chain making, certain setting types or a deep dive into polishing and finishing.
Want to know how to make flush setting tools? We can show you! Or do you want support with anticlastic forming? We have the formers you can use.
Everyone brings a special small item like a shell, acorn or found item, and we cast them together into silver or gold using sandcasting. These can then be made into jewellery.
Pick your gemstones and set them into rings, earrings or pendants. You can even request birthstones or something meaningful to make it extra special.
Perfect for parents and adult children. You can bring pieces passed down through the generations and melt them together and create jewellery you will actually wear.
Spend the session learning about wax carving and create sculptural waxes to be sent off for casting.
Send us your inspiration and we'll see if we can plan a jewellery workshop to match!
For group sizes 1-6 people we charge £150 p/h and for 6-10 people we charge £250 p/h, prices exclude materials which are extra.
Most workshops are 3 or 4 hours long. Simple workshops like ring making are 3 hours whereas anything with gemstones is 4.
If budget is a concern we can tailor a session to be shorter for smaller groups (3 and under) but 2 hours as a minimum is a good idea.
We can offer extras and add-ons to most workshops, like gold plating, chains and custom engraving. Just let us know!
A one of a kind bespoke jewellery studio and the only place in Bristol regularly hosting jewellery and silversmithing private group workshops.
We love sharing the joy of jewellery making and introducing people to the craft in a warm, supportive environment. Don’t worry if you’ve never made jewellery before, you’ll be surprised at what you can create in just a few hours!
