A brand new event for Winchester Cathedral. Be one of the first to join this traditional Silversmithing Workshop in the historic setting of the cathedral’s Undercroft and snack on Mince Pies along the way.
The Workshops will be led by the talented Jessica Marie.
Jessica moved to Winchester in 2017 where she joined an Artist Collective at The Colour Factory Studios.
Here she began teaching Beginners Silversmithing classes alongside running her Handcrafted Jewellery business making Made To Order and commission pieces.
Jessica says, ‘There’s something quite special about meeting new students, watching their excitement as they solder for the first time or how impressed they are with their own skills and achievements when they leave wearing their own piece of sparkling jewellery. Teaching silversmithing has become a real passion of mine’.

Jingle Jangle! Everyone will hear you coming when you’re showing off your sparkling silver bangles!
This is a complete beginners Silversmithing class, so no experience is needed. During the class I will teach you all about traditional silversmithing tools and how to use them correctly and safely. You will be working with silver wire, twisting, texturing and manipulating to create your own silver bangles. As well as soldering and texturing you will learn to form your bangles and finishing off with polishing techniques.
During the class you will make 2 silver stacking bangles and one copper one to practice.
These are small classes to allow for plenty of one-to-one support!
Please bring glasses as you will need them for close up work, no opened toed shoes and long hair must be tied back.
