Manchester School of Jewellery

Discover your creative side and join our hands-on jewellery-making classes, perfect for beginners and anyone looking to learn something new. From rings and bangles to unique jewellery sets, each course will guide you through the entire process – from basic techniques to crafting your own wearable silver pieces to take home.

Make a Silver Ring in a Day
The course covers a multitude of skills; shaping, hammering, texturing and silver soldering. We will also teach students how to saw, file, size rings and finish silver work. Practice will begin using copper, with demonstrations given for the different skills, followed by time to apply these skills. Once the skills are refined, each person will make a sterling silver ring from start to finish, and the ring will be theirs to take away.
