Personalised silver tag bangle with Rebecca Stevenson

X

Description

In this practical, hands-on workshop, you’ll design and make your own sterling silver personalised tag bangle. The bangle is formed from 2mm round silver wire, with a choice of a straight or gently wavy design. You’ll create a custom tag, experimenting with ideas and techniques in copper before translating your final design into silver. Alongside core jewellery-making skills, you’ll also learn additional useful techniques such as creating and soldering a jump ring. The workshop covers essential processes including piercing, forming, soldering, sizing, finishing and polishing. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with new skills and a beautifully crafted bangle to wear and enjoy. The workshop is led by an experienced jewellery and DT teacher with a BA (Hons) in Jewellery and Object, and many years of experience running silver jewellery workshops in North Yorkshire. No prior experience is needed—just enthusiasm and creativity.

I'm a North Yorkshire-based jeweller and silver workshop provider with a passion for creating and teaching. I hold a BA (Hons) in Jewellery and Object and am also a qualified Design Technology teacher, combining technical expertise with a love of hands-on learning. My workshops are designed to be fun, engaging, and informative — whether you're a complete beginner or looking to develop your skills further. I believe that jewellery making should be accessible and enjoyable, and I take pride in ensuring that every participant leaves with something they can feel truly proud of. Through clear guidance, a relaxed atmosphere, and plenty of room for creativity, I aim to help people discover the joy of working with silver and the satisfaction of crafting something beautiful with their own hands.
