Yorkshire Artspace is delighted to present a new edition of smithing skills workshops with renowned silversmith Charlotte Tollyfield. The six-week long course will provide you with an opportunity to learn key silversmithing skills and produce desirable objects in fine metal.

The course takes place in Silver Space, our specialist facility for contemporary silversmithing in the north at our Persistence Works studio complex and is ideal for beginners or those interested in developing and honing their skills.

The course runs every Tuesday evening for 3 hours, 6pm – 9pm, from 15th April to 20th May 2025.

Over the 6 weeks you will be taken through a series of short, guided projects by Charlotte designed to introduce core silversmithing skills for beginners. Alternatively, those who already have the basics nailed are welcome to work on their own project using the tools and facilities, with expert tuition on hand to guide your creative project to a successful conclusion. Please note this is not a jewellery-making course; you will be supported in creating sculptural and/or functional objects. Sessions run on Tuesday evenings 6-9pm.
