Make a Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace -Silversmithing Workshop.

Get ready to unleash your creativity and design your own unique piece of jewellery in our Sterling Silver Pendant Making Class! Join us in our studio in The BIS on Whitby Street, Hartlepool - a bright and warm space, equipped with everything you need to get started. With limited spaces available, you'll get one-on-one time with our experienced tutor, Carley, who will guide you through the traditional metalworking techniques of basic silversmithing.

No experience is necessary, so don't worry if you're a beginner - we'll teach you everything you need to know, including how to measure, cut, texture, stamp and polish your pendant. You'll start off with copper before moving on to sterling silver, and by the end of the class, you'll have created your very own pendant necklace.

Our tutor, Carley, is an experienced and passionate maker with a background and university education in Applied Art including Ceramics, Silversmithing, and Textiles. With her expert guidance and support, you'll be amazed at what you can achieve in just a few hours.

All materials, a hot or cold drink, and a snack are included, so you can focus on unleashing your creativity without worrying about anything else. Plus, you'll get to take your finished pendant home with you on the same day!

Some super important class info.

First off, if you're joining us on a weekend or evening, please note that there won't be anyone in reception. Instead, you can find me in the foyer 10 minutes before the class starts, where I'll be there to greet you and get things started. And if for any reason you're running late, just pop me an email at [email protected].

When it comes to getting here, please use the front entrance of the building. And for parking, you'll find spaces available at the Dover Street car park next to the building. Just make sure to check the signage for details on parking fees. And remember, there are permit zones on Whitby Street between 8am to 6pm, so be sure to read the street signs before you park. You can't miss the building, it has large white signs on the front!

Now, onto the fun stuff! Safety is super important to us, so please make sure to wear suitable clothing for the class. This means clothing that covers your legs and shoes that cover your feet (no sandals allowed!). And if you have long hair, don't forget to bring a hair tie. Scarves, ties, and loose clothing can be a fire hazard when working with the blow torch, so we want to make sure you're all set!

We'll be providing snacks, hot and cold drinks during the class. If you have any dietary requirements, just let us know beforehand and we'll do our best to accommodate you. And in case you're wondering, our studio equipment is fully vegan-friendly, meaning we don't use any leather or rawhide tools.

Lastly, we are on the first floor and some steps are required to get into the studio right now however there is a bathroom next door so you will only need to use the stairs at the start and the end of the class!

We can't wait to have you in our class! Just remember, if you need to leave by a certain time, please let us know so we can keep an eye on the clock sometimes if we're having lots of fun, the class can run over a little bit!

So why wait? Book your spot now and discover the joy of creating your own beautiful piece of jewellery! If you have any questions or special requests, please don't hesitate to email us at [email protected] or send us a message on our Facebook page. We can't wait to see what you'll create!
