Casting is a very exciting technique with endless possibilities and is a great way to cast pieces with very little cost and little equipment. Your tutor, Yvette Cannon, is a trained and experienced silversmith who has run her own business and continues to supply galleries, shops and private clients.

Students will be guided through the basic principles of preparing the item and the mould, melting of the silver, use of a soldering torch, cleaning and polishing the finished piece and by the end of the course you will be able to wear your own made pendant.

About this course

The workshop aims to give jewellery makers of all levels the skills and confidence to be able to practice sand casting on your own at home at a hobbyist level. It also will give you as much autonomy as possible in terms of design.


The course is suitable for those new to jewellery making as well as people who have already completed a beginners silversmithing course, as this will be a useful add on skill.

You should wear old clothes or an apron and flat, closed toe shoes.

Your glasses if need for close work and a hairband if you have long hair!
