Make a Silver Ring in Dundee: Premium Jewellery Workshop with Stephanie Graham

On the north bank of the Firth of Tay sits Dundee, a compact Scottish city known for design industries and riverfront views. Here, at Dundee Community Craft CIC, the Make A Silver Ring • Premium Package is a three-hour hands-on jewellery workshop led by jeweller Stephanie Graham that invites makers and curious travelers to craft a personal silver ring. Ages 12 and up are welcome; snacks and refreshments are included, making the session a friendly, low-stakes way to try something new. You begin at a light-filled workbench where tools are laid out: saws, files, hammers, a jeweller’s torch and lengths of sterling silver. The class blends traditional bench techniques with contemporary design thinking—participants learn measuring and sizing, sawing, forming, soldering and polishing while Stephanie explains material choices and experimentation from her ongoing research into jewellery, wellbeing and recovery. The process emphasizes touch and rhythm: shaping raw metal into a piece you can wear changes how you notice detail and time. This is a craft experience rooted in place. Dundee Community Craft CIC frames jewellery-making as a community practice tied to the city’s reputation for design excellence; the studio’s approach highlights local makers and thoughtful production. The premium package goes beyond a basic lesson by spotlighting design development and rapid prototyping, so you leave not only with a finished ring but with insight into how design can support recovery and creative practice. Practical notes matter: the session runs roughly three hours and requires no prior experience. Small-group teaching lets instructors give close attention, and most participants complete a ring in-session. The environment is safe but tool-focused—closed-toe shoes and steady hands help. The class is deliberately relaxed: snacks, warming tea and time to reflect are part of the offering. Why book this when you’re visiting Dundee? It’s an opportunity to take home something handcrafted that carries personal meaning and local story; it’s also a way to meet a practicing designer and see how contemporary jewellery connects with wider cultural work in the city. After the session, the riverfront, V&A Dundee and a handful of independent craft shops are minutes away—perfect for extending a design-focused day. For travelers who prefer active experiences that mix making with cultural context, this ring workshop is an unexpected, rewarding stop in Dundee. Booking details are straightforward: the Premium Package is scheduled in small cohorts to maintain bench space and safe tooling; participants should allow three hours including set-up and cool-down. Bring any questions about ring design—Stephanie welcomes experimentation—and plan to leave your piece to finish if polishing requires extra drying time. Whether you are a visitor or local, this workshop turns an afternoon into a durable, personal souvenir and a useful skill to revisit each day.
