Make a Shamrock Charm

Learn to make a silver charm, handmade by you! Add it to your necklace to wear as a pendant or add it to your charm bracelet as a keepsake of a time well spent!

Make a Shamrock Charm Class

Come and make your very own shamrock charm at our studio! We will teach you the metalsmithing process of creating a charm in sterling silver and you can personalise your charm with different textures and adding a initial to the disc.

Our professional teachers will be here to guide you along the way and you will leave with a beautiful handmade charm to cherish forever.

Benefits of Learning Jewellery Making Skills

There are many benefits to learning a new skill in general, but learning how to make jewellery specifically has its own benefits such as:

– Helps you start a new hobby and learn a highly skilled trade
– Connect back in with your creative side
– Improves focus and problem solving skills
– Unique and personalised gifts are a guarantee for your loved ones
– Working with your hands relaxes you
– There are so many different ways to do everything so you’ll have lots of fun exploring what works best for you!

What you make

You will have the choice of either using a shamrock stamp to cut out a shamrock piece from a sheet of silver, which you will then file down and polish off either to a shiny or matt finish. Or else you can cut out using our stamps a circular disk and then stamp a shamrock onto it, with the same options of shiny or matt finish.

If you want to add texture to your pendant/charm you will be given a piece of brass to first practice textures on, once you have decided on the finish you like you can then add that texture to your charm.

Duration of Course

The class is approx 2 hours long

After you have finished

That’s it –  your charm has been handmade by you! Add it to your necklace to wear as a pendant or add it to your charm bracelet as a keepsake of a time well spent! If you wish to purchase a necklace to add it to, we offer special discounts for our class goers – 20% off on all chains.
