13th August 2026 (Thursday) -Sterling silver - BAT EARRINGS workshop 6-9pm

Date: Thursday 13th August 2026
Time: 6pm – 9pm

Come and make your own pair of bat-themed sterling silver earrings in this relaxed, hands-on workshop, designed especially for beginners.

You’ll work with fresh sterling silver sheet to create small bat earring designs, learning traditional silversmithing techniques including measuring, cutting, shaping, texturing, forming ear wires, and finishing.

Designs may vary slightly, but will be based on a small bat shape designed to work well as wearable drop earrings, with examples available to guide you.

The project is carefully designed to fit the session, allowing time to learn the techniques properly and finish a pair of solid silver earrings that are made to be worn and enjoyed.

This workshop is fully guided and beginner-friendly, with clear steps, demonstrations, and time to ask questions as you go. You’ll leave with a finished pair of sterling silver earrings, made entirely by you.

Please note: I sometimes create my own mock-up designs in copper. This is simply because they get handled a lot, used during demonstrations, taken along to events, and generally put through more wear and tear than a finished pair would. Rest assured, your finished earrings will be made from sterling silver.
