Make Your Own Silver Collection: 8-Week Jewellery Course in Dundee

On Thursday evenings in Dundee, Make Your Own Silver Collection • 8 Week Course invites makers and curious travelers into a hands-on studio where raw silver becomes wearable design. The course runs for eight weeks, meeting every Thursday at 6pm for three-hour sessions in Dundee, Scotland, a city known for bold graphic design and its industrial and maritime heritage. The studio atmosphere centers around workbenches, bench pins, jeweler’s saws, doming blocks and polishing motors—the practical features that define the experience. Over the program you learn saw piercing, texturing, filing, doming and polishing while refining simple ring and pendant forms into finished pieces. The core scene is intimate: a row of benches under task lamps, a communal rolling mill, trays of sterling sheet and wire, and a small anvil used to shape curves and edges. That focus on craft ties directly into Dundee Community Craft CIC’s mission to make high-quality design accessible to locals and visitors alike, reinforcing Dundee’s reputation as a design-forward city. Beginners will find structured lessons and hands-on coaching; more experienced makers can develop personalized ideas with one-on-one guidance from instructors. The practical curriculum balances skill-building—safe saw use, clean solder joints, consistent texturing—with creative choices like surface patterns, patinas and custom silhouettes. Expect to leave with several small finished items and a clear set of next steps: how to pick tools, where to source silver, and which techniques to practice between sessions. The course doubles as a cultural entry-point: it connects students with a community workshop model rather than a commercial chain, and places making at the heart of Dundee’s local creative economy. Practicalities are straightforward—materials and basic tools are typically supplied, sessions run in the evening to suit commuters, and the pace allows for steady progress across eight weeks. This class also makes a thoughtful short-term project for travelers who want craft experiences without committing to a long residency; bring sketch ideas and patience, not heavy gear. For visitors, Dundee’s waterfront, V&A Dundee and independent cafes are nearby, so you can pair studio time with museum visits and riverfront walks. Whether you want to learn a new skill, make a gift, or start a small collection of hand-forged pieces, the Make Your Own Silver Collection course places precision technique and local craft values at center stage—turning raw metal into objects with personal meaning in a city that celebrates design. Sessions welcome students aged 12 and up, making this an intergenerational way to learn craft skills. Bring scale drawings, comfortable shoes and an open mind; instructors will advise on materials and costs. Book early to secure a bench—weekday evening classes fill quickly—and consider combining this course with a weekend visit to Dundee’s museums and waterfront trails and events.
