Why Silver Works

Unlike traditional institutions, our priority is to help you learn & develop a new skill, not profit.

This is why we offer only limited places within our workshops, so you get the most out of each one!

You will be taught by highly experienced goldsmiths, working within the industry who has an abundance of Jewellery design experience.

What's included

Expert tuition from our team of fabulous Goldsmiths.

All tools and equipment, drills & aprons are provided for the duration of the course.

We provide tea & coffee, complimentary mulled wine and some chocolate treats as well as mince pies during the workshop.

Your teacher can be your personal photographer throughout the workshop also!

 

Gold plating

We can also offer a gold plating service, its €30 for a 14-21 day service. Simply let your teacher know and they will organise this for you. Due to Christmas, our cutoff date is the 1st of December if you are looking to have your piece returned before Christmas. Otherwise, it will be mid-January when your piece will be ready for collection / postage (at additional cost).

Lauren, June 2023

This whole experience was so awesome to have been able to leave with something you can cherish from a great learning opportunity. I didn’t know what was going to be involved with this process but the night was overall a fun, stimulating experience. My ring came out prettier than I could have imagined. I would do this again!”

Greg, June 2023

This was definitely a highlight for my wife’s and my trip to Ireland. Jill was a wonderful teacher, and the process of forging one’s own silver ring was fun and very satisfying. Now we have a more interesting keepsake of the trip than a T-shirt or coffee mug just cannot compete with.”

Shannon, March 2023

“This experience was the most fun! My mom and I enjoyed this so much. We learned a lot and it was the best way to spend our last night in dublin! Couldn’t recommend more!!”

Michael, January 2023

This was so worth it! Fun, hands on, its nice chatting with the people taking the class with you, and the rings turned out GORGEOUS. Highly recommend to anyone considering.”

LZ OH July 2022

“My daughter-in-law was visiting, and we had a lovely time making matching silver rings. The 2-hour class was reasonably priced and the sterling silver ring was a perfect memento of our time together. Highly recommended! We both went back to the shop (The Collective) to buy some of their irresistible jewellery.”

Jayne Maree October 2022
