Studio Tuesdays | 6-Week Silversmithing Open Studio

Looking for a little creative time in your week?

Studio Tuesdays is a relaxed, welcoming space for anyone who's enjoyed one of my silversmithing workshops and would love to keep creating, share ideas, and enjoy some good company.

For six consecutive Tuesday evenings, we'll gather as a small group of makers who want to spend a couple of hours creating together. There's no formal instruction, no set projects, and no pressure — just time to make something you love in a friendly, creative atmosphere.

Bring your own sterling silver or purchase materials from our limited studio selection. I'll provide the tools, equipment, basic consumables, and tea!

Please note: This is a relaxed, self-directed open studio rather than a structured workshop. You don't need to remember every step involved in your previous workshops or arrive with a project already in mind. I'll be around to offer reminders, answer questions, and provide a little guidance when needed, but the evening is all about working on your own projects at your own pace.

Not sure what to make? You might like to start by recreating a ring from a previous workshop to refresh your skills, then experiment with different wire thicknesses, textures or designs. Or use the skills you've already learned to create something new, like a pendant or earrings. Bring along any ideas or inspiration you've come across, or we can explore possibilities together during our studio time.

Whether you are excited to recreate something you've made in a previous workshop or build on skills you've already learned or try something a little different, Studio Tuesdays is your chance to explore your creativity at your own pace.

Come as you are, bring your ideas, and enjoy a little studio time together.
