The Silver Artist deliver silver jewellery design and production courses for beginners and those with a bit of experience. They have a unique Signature Course, which gains you an internationally recognised qualification, through Art Clay World UK and Japan. Using Art Clay means that those who have always fancied designing and making their own jewellery now can - without having to own lots of expensive silversmithing equipment. Anwa, the owner of The Silver Artist and the course's tutor, is one of the first ten Art Clay Senior Instructors to qualify in the UK, and is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable silversmith.
I have to admit, I've never been on one of her courses, but Anwa made our wedding rings. We decided that we wanted silver rings rather than gold, and we didn't just want a plain band, but one that we'd had an input into the design of ourselves. Anwa was absolutely perfect in providing both these services - she was brilliant to work with, really warm and understanding, and met with us a number of times at her studio to discuss and develop the rings. The end product is absolutely perfect, and I'm so pleased we met Anwa and took the time to create something unique. She put loads of time and effort into making them just right for us, and frankly, the whole experience was nothing but a total pleasure. read more
