I have now been settled in the custom-built studio at Rampisham Down for two years, and in that time it has been a real pleasure to welcome hundreds of people through the workshop doors. The space is light, spacious, and looks out across the West Dorset countryside — on a clear day you can even glimpse the sea. Please note that the studio is on the second floor and there is no lift, so visitors need to be able to manage two flights of stairs.

Silver jewellery making classes remain at the heart of what I do here. Whether you would like to craft a simple ring, create a detailed pair of earrings, or design a more individual piece, there is something for everyone. You don’t need any prior experience — complete beginners and those with some silversmithing knowledge are equally welcome.

I am passionate about sharing my skills and guiding each person through the process of making jewellery they can be truly proud of. Classes are kept small so you receive plenty of individual attention, and all the silver needed for your project is included.

If you’re curious about trying silversmithing, or looking for a creative and rewarding day out, you can explore the class options and book your place below. Gift vouchers are also available if you would like to give the experience to someone special — a thoughtful present that allows the recipient to choose a date that suits them.

New classes will be added to the website throughout the year so keep an eye out for up and coming classes and events.
