Hands-On Silver Bangle Workshop in Dundee with Stephanie Graham

On the banks of the River Tay in Dundee, Scotland, a three-hour bench-based workshop invites makers and first-timers alike into the focused world of jewellery craft. Make A Personalised Silver Bangle • Premium Package is led by jeweller Stephanie Graham at Dundee Community Craft CIC, a hands-on session that blends traditional metalsmithing techniques with contemporary design thinking. This is a studio experience that places a raw length of sterling silver in your hands and guides you through shaping, texturing, finishing and personalising a wearable piece you can keep. The studio sits within Dundee's active craft scene, part of a city known for design innovation and the V&A museum's waterfront presence. Key features of the experience are intimate bench tuition, access to real jeweller's tools - hammers, mandrels, files and polishing kits - and the calm rhythm of slow making. Natural elements of the place matter: recycled or responsibly sourced silver is commonly used here, and the workshop connects craft practice to wellbeing and community recovery through Dundee Community Craft CIC's social mission. Expect an immersive but relaxed format: Stephanie demonstrates hammer-forming and finishing, then supports each participant as they size, bend, file and polish their own bangle to a finished shine. The session reveals both practical skills and a quiet creative reset - makers often speak about the meditative focus of metalwork and the confidence of leaving with a custom piece. The workshop is suitable for ages 12 and up and runs around three hours, making it an excellent midday or afternoon activity for visitors based in Dundee. Why this stands out locally: Dundee's maker network is compact and collaborative, and this class offers direct access to an experienced jeweller who is also active in local research and recovery programmes. It's a way to connect with the city's creative identity beyond galleries - through hands-on craft and personal storytelling. Practical benefits include small class sizes, all tools and guidance provided, and the immediate reward of a completed silver bangle. Plan to arrive with comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes; jewelry-specific concerns - like removing gloves - will be covered by instructors. After the workshop you can explore nearby V&A Dundee, the waterfront, or head east to Broughty Ferry for beachside tea. Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned maker looking for a focused afternoon, this premium package offers a distinct, local-centred way to take home something made by your own hands. Materials are included, and instructors advise on aftercare to protect the patina and finish of your piece; expect to learn simple maintenance tips that preserve shine without professional cleaning. The session is an ideal gift or celebratory activity for small groups—book early during busy museum seasons to secure a place and confirm accessibility needs with organisers and plan travel logistics ahead.
