Make a Copper & Enamel Bowl — Premium Workshop with Dundee Community Craft CIC

On a compact street off Dundee’s waterfront, Dundee Community Craft CIC opens a studio where heat, enamel and copper meet local story. This three-hour Make A Copper and Enamel Bowl • Premium Package is a hands-on workshop for adults and teens (ages 12+) that distills jewellery-making techniques into a relaxed creative sprint. The class runs under founder and jeweller Stephanie Graham, who guides participants through traditional metalworking skills and contemporary enamel techniques, sharing the studio’s research into jewellery, wellbeing and recovery. The session begins at a workbench: annealing copper, cutting and forming a shallow bowl or shaping a simple silver bangle, then applying powdered enamel and firing pieces in a small kiln. The glow of the torch and the kiln’s sudden bloom are a kind of slow reveal—colours settle into glassy finishes and seams become satisfying joins. Materials and snacks are included, and the small class size encourages quiet conversation about Dundee’s long design history, from jute mills to modern design-led regeneration. This experience stands out because it pairs practical skill with social purpose. Dundee Community Craft CIC produces and delivers courses and products by local makers; the Premium Package explicitly connects craft with wellbeing and recovery, so what you make has more than decorative value. You’ll leave with a hand-made copper and enamel bowl or a personalised silver bangle—depending on the session—plus instruction you can build on at home. The studio’s riverside city location makes it an easy add-on to a day in Dundee: spend the morning at the V&A or the McManus, then slide into a late-afternoon kiln firing. For visitors curious about material practice, the workshop provides a clear line from historic Dundee industries to contemporary design thinking, showing why the city is recognized for design innovation. Practical notes: the class is three hours long, suitable for beginners, and works best for participants who can stand for short stretches and handle fine tools. Wear closed-toe shoes and leave bulky coats outside the immediate work area. The staff prioritizes safety—eye protection and ventilation are standard—and encourages questions at every step. Booking through the provided referral link secures a spot in the Premium session which often fills on weekends. Whether you’re a visitor who wants to take a piece of Dundee home or a local seeking a deliberate creative pause, this workshop turns simple materials into a meaningful object and introduces you to a maker community that’s quietly remaking the city’s creative identity.
