Weekly Classes
“I have been attending Olivia’s regular weekly classes for well over three years. She teaches us collectively, and individually to achieve our best… There is an added dimension to Olivia’s class which is the rapport and friendly support of my classmates. Sharing the joy of creativity, in a beautiful setting, with a skilled and caring teacher makes Thursday evenings a treat.”
Our weekly classes give budding silversmiths the opportunity to focus on individual projects in a relaxed and friendly environment. You will be learning over 12 weeks, in small groups of 8, with morning, afternoon or evening sessions available.
Classes are mixed ability, giving new students the opportunity to see a good variety of other projects and possibilities undertaken by others. We have a lot of camaraderie and encouragement within classes, it's wonderful to see!
If you have a personal piece in mind and would value the tailored attention that comes with a smaller class, or you would like to work on developing specific advanced silversmithing skills, this course offers the focus and momentum to unlock your creativity.
Weekly classes run for 12 weeks, with classes available four days a week on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday mornings from 10am-12:30pm, Thursday afternoons 1.30pm- 3.30pm, or Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 7-9:30pm. The course is £370, plus materials which can be purchased during classes as you go.
Materials
Silver can be purchased throughout the course as and when you need it. The overall cost varies a lot and just depends on how many pieces you make and how heavy they are. As an example, silver for a ring would usually be between £4 and £10.
Class Swaps
We have a brilliant swap system, so if there are dates throughout the term that you know you will not be able to attend, you can make use of our swap system so you don't have to miss out on a class.
Weekly Student Discount
As a current weekly student, you benefit from a discount on any of our weekend or specialist workshops.
