Every experience with Redsmith’s Forge results in at least two pieces of jewellery for you to take home and treasure. Our range of workshops are suitable for beginners, creatives, corporate and occasions!
Casual Coppersmithing
10 am - 1 pm • £60pp
Hands on help throughout
Starting at 10am and finishing at 1pm, you will learn the basics of heating, chiselling, filing and texturing copper. Together, we will form a leaf pattern, adding texture and colour to it using a wide range of techniques. With hands on help and guidance from Matthew and Caron, every participant will come away with a leaf pendant necklace and one other item.
Creative Coppersmithing
10 am - 4 pm • £90pp
We guide and help, but you do more yourself
With a whole day to learn, you will have more time to make on your own. With full use of our range of tools, demonstrations at every stage and hands on help when you need it, you will be free to create a number of pieces of your choosing. Come away from this full day workshop with at least 3 items for you to add to your jewellery collection or give as gifts to friends and family.
