Fun Silversmithing classes in Sydney

Not only is learning how to silversmith exciting and empowering, but it also feels like you’ve taken a time machine to the past. It’s hard to say when exactly silversmithing started, but one of the oldest remnants we have of ancient silver art is said to be over 2,500 years old. Over time, silversmithing and goldsmithing became an important profession in Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt. It survived through the Middle Ages in Europe. In South America, silver jewellery actually predated colonisation, which just goes to show how universally valuable we hold this special metal.

Health benefits of silversmithing

Silversmithing is a focused and precise practice. When you sit down to design a piece of jewellery and then work meticulously to bring your vision to life, you’re not thinking about anything other than the project at hand. It’s a wonderful way to practice mindfulness and living in the present moment. Plus, there’s something very satisfying about the repetitive nature of moulding your piece of jewellery, checking your progress, making fine adjustments, and ending up with a near-perfect artwork that you can be proud of. Not only will you have a handmade piece of jewellery, but you’ll feel like you just finished a meditation practice.
