About this tour

You'll move through design, material prep, forming, soldering, finishing and polish to walk away with a wearable creation. No experience needed—the smiths guide each step, handling everything from grain-melting to final details so you can focus on the craft itself.

What to expect
Arrive and sketch your design with a smith's input. You'll handle raw silver grains as they melt, then learn wire or plate formation by hand. Once shaped to your vision, you'll solder components together—the smith steadies your work while you manage the heat. After cooling, sanding reveals the shine. Final polish brings it to life. The whole process takes 1.5–3 hours depending on complexity. Expect your hands to get warm and your focus to sharpen as the piece emerges.
