Join silversmith Sarah Cave in a 6 week jewellery making course at Birnam Arts. Starting with base metal you will learn how to cut, shape, texture and solder the metal and make a rub over setting to hold a stone, before then going on to make a finished silver stone set pendant of your own design. These classes are suitable for beginners or those wanting to improve their jewellery making skills.
The classes will be held on a Tuesday evening at Birnam Arts, in the Visual Arts studio, from 6:30 – 8:30pm (for 6 weeks) starting on the 23rd May, with the last session on 27th June 2023.
Sarah trained at Edinburgh College of Art and worked as a silversmith before setting up her own studio/workshop space in Blairgowrie. Now with over 20 years’ experience Sarah designs and makes a range of "hand raised" silverware and jewellery, as well as teaching the technique of hand raising through her classes.
Here at Birnam Arts we are committed to making the arts as accessible as possible and in line with this we are offering this course on a sliding scale framework of £80 (tier 1) / £120 (tier 2) / £180 (tier 3). Please be honest and pay what you can afford.
Tier 1: I have little disposable income
Tier 2: I have some disposable income
Tier 3: I have a comfortable level of disposable income
Base metals are supplied to get you started. Students will have the opportunity to purchase and work with their own precious materials. You will be advised of any additional materials that you might require, based on how your personal project develops.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.
