On the north bank of the Firth of Tay sits Dundee, Scotland — a compact, industrious city now celebrated for design and practical creativity. In the heart of the city, Make A Silver Sea Glass Ring • Premium Package is a three-hour, hands-on workshop led by jeweller Stephanie Graham at Dundee Community Craft CIC. The session pairs traditional silversmithing techniques with salvaged sea glass, offering an immediate, tactile connection between shoreline and studio.
The workshop begins at a communal workbench where participants learn to clean, shape, and bezel-set a piece of frosted sea glass recovered from Scottish coasts. Sea glass is everyday glass transformed by waves and sand into smooth, frosted gems; here it becomes the centerpiece of a sterling silver ring. Under Stephanie’s guidance you’ll cut and form silver, texture the band, and learn soldering and finishing techniques tailored to a single, wearable piece. The class is deliberately small and relaxed, designed for makers of all levels aged 12 and up, and the Premium Package includes snacks and refreshments to keep energy up during focused, meticulous work.
What sets this experience apart is the studio’s connection to Dundee’s wider craft scene. Dundee Community Craft CIC designs and delivers work by local makers while foregrounding jewellery as both art and a tool for wellbeing and recovery. The session doubles as a live glimpse into ongoing research and development in jewellery design, giving you insider access to experimental prototypes and constructive conversation about craft’s role in city identity. You leave with a custom silver sea glass ring and a clearer sense of how local materials and social practice shape modern Scottish design.
Practicalities are simple: the three-hour format fits neatly into a morning or afternoon on a city visit, and the emphasis on traditional hand skills means gear is provided. The experience suits travelers who enjoy focused, creative learning and who value tangible souvenirs made by their own hands, rather than mass-produced gifts. If you’re visiting Dundee to explore its museums, design trails, or coastal paths, this workshop offers a calm, hands-on counterpoint to galleries and city walks—a way to carry home both a crafted object and a story about place, craft, and community.
Booking is limited; participants can expect close attention from the instructor and a relaxed pace that prioritizes quality over quantity. It’s an ideal pick for creative travelers, families with teens, or anyone seeking a meaningful memento forged through local practice. The Premium Package welcomes beginners while offering technical tips for makers; expect demonstrations of soldering, stone-setting alternatives suited to irregular sea glass, and finishing techniques that make each ring distinct—small but rigorous details that transform a beach-found fragment into a keepsake-quality piece of jewellery for daily wear.
