Handcraft your very own free form necklace using 925 sterling silver in this traditional silversmithing workshop.
Your tutor will help you to make a stunning, sterling silver pendant, complete with an optional Natural Pearl.
You’ll also be given a sterling silver chain at the end of the workshop to complete your necklace making it ready to wear or gift to a loved one!
This workshop is ideal for complete beginners where you will learn to shape the wire, use different files to ensure it is smooth and then use a blowtorch to solder it into the halo shape. You have the option of using their textured hammers to give your desired effect, or you can simply polish the halos to your desired shine.
This workshop will cover many traditional silversmithing techniques including shaping, filing, soldering, hammering, plus many more exciting skills. You’ll make the necklace almost entirely yourself with a little help and guidance from your tutor.
There will be members of the Noctua team at hand throughout this process to support, advise and teach you the skills needed while allowing you to make the pendant independently.
The session is very hands-on. If you use glasses for reading then they recommend you bring them on the day, along with wearing older clothes. You will need to wear closed toe shoes and tie up long hair.

The famous carol may say ‘five gold rings’ are the most festive, but in this workshop, you’ll learn to create your very own from sterling silver – perfect as a Christmas gift for a loved one, or as a treat for yourself.
Guided by experts from Noctua Jewellery, you will make either two slim stacking rings with a semi-precious stone or a wider ring with added texture. All the rings are made of sterling silver using traditional silversmithing techniques.
The class is ideal for complete beginners, and you will practice a range of traditional silversmithing techniques including sizing the ring, measuring the silver needed, filing, shaping the silver, soldering, adding unique textures with our collection of hammers, polishing the ring to your desired shine and finally setting the stone.
There will be members of the Noctua team at hand throughout this process to support, advise and teach you the skills needed while allowing you to make the ring independently. Those making stacking rings can also choose from a wide range of semi-precious gemstones on the day.

Between Two Islands is an evening of poetry and conversation, exploring the relationship between Bahrain, Britain and the British Bahrainis caught with a foot on either island.
In January–February 2021, fourteen Bahrainis living in the UK, amongst them second-generation immigrants, migrants, students and diasporans, came together to write poetry exploring their experiences as a community far from their heart’s homeland.
The workshops were funded by Arts Council England and led to the publication of the Between Two Islands anthology and The Future soundscape. It is the first Bahraini community arts project of its kind in Britain.
Now performing a mix of poems from the anthology and new materials in both English and Arabic, join the poets at Chapters of Us for a conversation on how new community links are forged, and to explore questions of homeland and language in the midst of the pandemic.
The event will be live with an intimate audience in Liverpool and broadcast digitally.
Produced by Ali Al-Jamri and Taher Adel, and hosted by Nasima Begum. With performances by and conversation with Ali Al-Jamri, Taher Adel, Fatema Abuidrees, Zaynab Al-Khawaja, Mohamed Arab, Maryam AlSaleh, and Jenan Alhasabi.
