Goldsmithing is a centuries-old craft that shapes metal into beautiful rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and even sculptures. With a little practice and a lot of fun, you too can create your own masterpiece!

In just a day you'll get to look around in our workplace, learn to use various tools and techniques, under the guidance of an experienced goldsmith. You'll learn how to bend, shape, solder, and polish metal to bring your own ideas to life.

As a result, you will go home with your own piece of silver, a ring or maybe a brooch! We will make jewellery inspired by flowers, as it is a classic source of inspiration. But you’re free to change your mind. So what are you waiting for? Just try it out at VRIJDAG!

Note: Silver is not included in the price of the workshop as it depends on your project.

This workshop will be taught in English, but of course everyone is welcome to join!

Please note: This room is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.
