We run mixed ability, Jewellery Silversmithing Group Courses at Orchard Jewellery Workshop in Kingswood. These courses are suitable for all levels, including complete beginners, and each term is 6 weeks long. Terms follow the Bristol & South Gloucestershire School Terms. Our Current and upcoming course dates are listed below. Please note that our group workshops are suitable for ages 16+. If you are interested in sessions for younger participants, please check out our Private Tuition Sessions.

Tuition is based on students interests but we always aim to lay down a good grounding in the fundamentals while also offering more advanced techniques on demand. A huge range of in-class and online resources are provided to complement your tuition. These are especially useful for anyone wishing to continue silversmithing at home or aiming to set up or develop their own jewellery business.

The course fee includes personalised, small group tuition, use of tools, basic materials and consumables. A selection of silver and gemstones can be purchased from the tutor and a suppliers list will be provided for any students who wish to buy their own tools or materials.
