Exciting Opportunity to Join the 6-Week Silversmithing Course
Published: 8th August 2025
Have you seen the great opportunity to join the forthcoming 6 Week Silversmithing Course at Yorkshire Artspace?
This well established and popular course is run by experienced silversmith and Contemporary British Silversmiths member Charlotte Tollyfield and follows on from a previous course we hosted in April, which received excellent feedback:
"I've learnt such a lot and thought the course was well worth the cost."
"A superb course run by extremely skilled people who are willing to pass on their extensive knowledge."
"The facilities in Silver Space are second to none. There is everything one could need while having space to work comfortably."
"Everyone has been very welcoming and friendly. I was amazed at the facilities and the variety of tools available."
The course runs every Tuesday evening for 3 hours, 6pm – 9pm, from 2nd September to 7th October 2025.
Over the 6 weeks, participants will be taken through a series of short, guided projects by Charlotte designed to introduce core silversmithing skills for beginners. Alternatively, those who already have the basics nailed are welcome to work on their own project using the tools and facilities, with expert tuition on hand to guide your creative project to a successful conclusion. It's testament to the quality of the tuition that several participants from the last course have returned for this one to continue developing their skills further.
Each participant will have access to a workbench, full selection of tools including stakes and hammers and the hearth. Fine metals such as copper or brass are provided along with basic consumables.
