SEA GLASS BEGINNER FRIENDLY STERLING SILVER JEWELLERY MAKING COURSE - DATES FOR NOVEMBER 2025

£80.00
By IN THE HEATHER
Dates for November

Suitable for complete beginners (even those that have never made jewellery before, worked with a torch or silver) and anyone over the age of 18. (We may accept responsible 12-17 year olds if accompanied by a parent or guardian).

Prices are per person.

In this exciting and highly detailed evening, you will learn to make jewellery like a professional silversmith.

The course starts with choosing your favourite piece of Scottish sea glass from our extensive collection (or feel free to bring your own!) and then shaping the glass if needed using a hand held tool.

Next we will begin bezel wrapping with bezel strip and soldering the bezel to the correct shape and size. From there we will then solder the bezel onto silver sheet, learn about attaching jump rings, using a jewellers saw, tools, pickling, polishing, pin polishing and finally setting the sea glass in your new setting. This particular evening focuses on making one sea glass pendant in sterling silver. If time allows, you will also be taught granulation, hammering and other techniques.

This course is one on one orientated and we only allow 2 individuals at a time to maximise learning and safety.

Fruit juice and soft drinks, cakes and nibbles will be provided. There is a bathroom on site. 

Good to know:

  1. As there will be butane torches in use, we don’t allow animals or anyone else in the room with you while the course is commencing (unless you are under 18).

  2. It is ideal to begin the course on time and if the course spills over past 10pm before you finish your piece, don’t worry, we will wait for you to complete your piece.

  3. If you worry that you have never made jewellery before, please don’t be concerned! Laura, the tutor for the evening will assist you in all aspects of the course which is friendly and informal.

  4. If you have long hair, please have your hair tied back and wear short sleeves if possible. The shop will be cosy and warm on arrival. 

  5. If possible, please keep your nails as short as possible for dexterity and safety when using some of the tools. If you have acrylic nail extensions you will be taught how to use certain tools in a different way to prioritise safety. 

  6. The course will take place at our Glasgow shop.

  7. There is no parking on site, but lots of parking available locally on Argyle street. 

  8. Once paid, the course is non refundable however you are welcome to change the date if you really need to, where possible. 

  9. If you don't drive, we can happily give you a lift home after the class free of charge if you are local to Glasgow or its surrounding areas, we realise and appreciate that it is late at night in Winter and waiting for a late night bus is not ideal for everyone.
