Silverwork Gallery

Silver is one of the most attractive, versatile and workable metals known. Silver is a beautiful and fitting setting for many of the stones and minerals that we work at the SM&LC.

Our Silverwork area is fully equipped with a traditional work bench and an extensive array of tools including hammers, rollers, draw plates, torches and casting equipment.

Although members wishing to work in silver and other metals are encouraged to buy their own basic equipment, almost everything you need to fulfil your artistic ambitions and produce fantastic pieces of jewellery is here.
