About this tour
When Noah from our BugBitten team tried this enamel jewellery class in London, he walked out two hours later with a finished piece in hand. You're guided through the full process — from design to kiln work — in an intimate studio setting capped at four people per session. It's pitched at absolute beginners, and the crew keeps things personal rather than assembly-line. You'll handle proper tools (files, micromotor, kiln) and walk away with something you actually made, which beats most tourist craft workshops.
Highlights
- Walk out with a finished piece same day, not a kit to finish at home
- Maximum four people per session — genuinely intimate, not rushed
- Real jewellery-making tools and kiln access, not simplified tourist versions
- Beginner-friendly but doesn't talk down to you
- All core materials and equipment provided in the price
- Near decent public transport links in London
- No prior experience needed, any fitness level welcome
What to expect
Noah arrived expecting a sedate craft session and got exactly that — no chaos, no waiting around. The two hours move at a sensible clip: you'll learn the basics, design your piece, work with actual enamel and metal blanks, and then pop it in the kiln while you wrap up. The small group size means the tutor can actually see what you're doing, catch mistakes early, and chat through your design choices without feeling like you're holding everyone up.
The space itself is compact but properly set up — kilns are warm, tools are within reach, and materials are organised. You'll use a rotary micromotor and filing tools that feel like the real deal. Fair warning: if you're after something Instagram-worthy and intricate, two hours is tight; expect something modest but genuinely hand-finished by you. The studio is walkable from public transport, which beats a trek to some out-of-the-way craft barn.

Good to know
You get a solid two hours with proper equipment and a tutor who knows their craft. The small cap (four people max) means you're not queuing for tools or fighting for kiln time. Finished jewellery goes home with you same day — no waiting weeks for firing. All the core stuff is included: blanks, enamel, tools, kiln access. It suits complete novices and works for anyone mobile enough to sit and use hand tools. Great for a rainy London afternoon or a gift experience.
Larger or fancier pieces cost extra — medium silver blanks are £20, large ones £50. If you want a chain, add another tenner. Two hours is snappy for anything elaborate; your output will be small and simple. The studio's heating and ventilation aren't explicitly mentioned, so ask ahead if you're fussy about workspace air. It's London, so the location will be central-ish and priced accordingly.
Wear something you don't mind getting metal dust on. The session includes all tools, files, kiln, enamel, and basic silver blanks. Bring cash or card for add-ons. Group size is genuinely capped at four. No peak-time warning, but book ahead in central London. Service animals welcome.
