This workshop is not only informative but also fun and creative, making it a truly rewarding experience and a unique thing to do in the beautiful setting of Cornwall. Abigail will guide you through the full day making your own Sterling Silver Spoon. You will begin with a short discussion about potential spoon designs and ideas, followed by a small model in plasticine. Your tutor will then demonstrate each stage of the heating and then hammering process, guiding you through the day with fun and enthusiasm. Once your silver has transformed into a beautiful spoon, you will then give your piece a final hand polish and you will have your own beautiful silver creation, handmade by you, to treasure forever. The one day course includes enough sterling silver for your spoon project. Each one day course (if not an individual one to one session) has a maximum of 2 students to ensure plenty of tutor attention This course will involved a lot of hammering so please be aware of that before you book.
