In this immersive session, you’ll step into the world of traditional silversmithing and transform recycled sterling silver into a meaningful pendant, crafted entirely by your own hands.
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, enjoying a creative day out, or simply curious to try something new, this workshop is perfect for complete beginners and returning makers alike. You’ll be warmly welcomed by Sarah or Violeta with a freshly brewed tea or coffee before settling in. From there, we guide you through every stage at a relaxed, enjoyable pace — ensuring you feel supported, confident, and inspired from start to finish.
What You’ll Create
Every pendant begins with a small piece of scrap sterling silver. Through traditional techniques, you’ll melt, shape, texture, and finish your silver, discovering the joy of turning raw material into something beautiful and personal. No two pendants are ever the same — each one carries its own character and story.
The Making Process
- Melting the Silver 🔥
You’ll heat your recycled sterling silver until it becomes molten, forming a solid, workable piece ready for shaping.
- Forming the Silver Pebble 🔨
Once cooled, you’ll hammer and refine the silver into a smooth, tactile disc. This is where your pendant’s unique silhouette emerges — organic, hand‑formed, and wonderfully individual.
- Filing & Smoothing ✨
Using files and sanding pads, you’ll refine the surface to reveal the soft, natural shine of sterling silver while keeping the handmade character beautifully intact.
- Adding Your Design ⭐🌸🐝
Choose from our collection of traditional hand stamps — bees, hearts, stars, florals, sun & moon motifs and more. Each impression is struck individually, giving your pendant crisp detail and a deeply personal touch.
- Finishing Touches 🔗
A sterling silver jump ring is soldered to your pendant, ready to wear. You’re welcome to purchase a chain on the day if you’d like to complete your necklace.
