Silversmiths' Guild of Canterbury Silversmithing Classes
As a not-for-profit organisation our main endeavour is to teach beginner and advanced students how to make silver jewellery in our purpose made Silversmiths' Guild Workshop, sharing our love of working with precious and semi-precious metals.
We teach these three classes:
- Silversmithing Level One - suitable for all complete beginners.
- Silversmithing Level Two - suitable for those who have completed our Level One class.
- Combined Class of Level One and Two.
Our Silversmith Classes are listed below. Unless the class is full, you can click on the blue button appropriate to the class you would like to attend, and "Enrol Now". If there is room in the class we will contact you with a link to process payment. Your place in the class will be confirmed when payment is received. If the class is full we will provide options for alternative classes.
