Sea Glass Jewellery - Taster Workshop

No experience neccesary - Suitable for total beginners :)


This is the perfect workshop if you're intrigued by jewellery making.


The process:

During this 3 hour taster workshop, you will learn how to set sea glass in pre-made bezel cups as well as design and texture your very own ring band.


To start with, you will explore and practice texturing techniques on pre made copper rings, using varying types of hammers before progressing onto your final ring band design using recycled 925. Sterling Silver.


You will then learn how to solder the pre-made bezel cup onto your sterling silver ring band and finally how to correctly set the sea glass into it.


All materials and tools will be provided. At the end of the day, you will take home your very own handcrafted one-of-a-kind ring – as well as a cotton pouch to keep it safe.


Additional information:

Bezel setting is the technique of encasing around the back and sides of the Sea Glass piece and folding in the edges to keep it safe and secure.


Sadie will pre make the bezels and copper practice rings before the workshop, enabling you to have a little go at jewellery making.


Attendees must be 16 years of age and above.


Under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult (there is no extra fee). If you / or someone you know are wishing to attend a workshop and are under 16 years, please send me an email and I will be happy to help.


Sensible, closed shoes required and no loose clothing: things can get a little messy in a jewellery making environment and whilst apron’s are provided, it’s worth bearing in mind not to wear your very best clothes!


There are plenty of places to grab a bite to eat before or after the workshop. Muddy Beach Cafe, Sunshine Studio Cafe and Baileys Country Store are all close by!

Reviews on Trip Advisor :

Ellie "What an incredible day! My sister and I were lucky enough to take part in one of Sadie courses. Sadie was such a wonderful host and instantly made us feel at home in her studio. It is such a beautiful, calm space, perfect for an afternoon of crafting away and chatting to the other lovely people on the course. I was so happy with the final product and I cannot recommend the course enough. Thank you so much Sadie!"

I’m incredibly excited to share my experiences and to pass on the love and joy that creating your own wearable treasure can bring!

Sustainability is at the heart of my work, I’m passionate about environmentally conscious practises, removing traditional animal products from the manufacturing process and using recycled materials.

I can’t wait to help ignite the passion of future generations of makers.”

Award Winning

I am so grateful to have won the Tripadvisor's Travellers Choice Award! Placing my studio in the top 10% in the world, it's an absolute dream come true and I couldn't have done it without my wonderful students. I really do adore teaching and I can't wait to share this joy with you too!

Meet Rip!


This good boy will greet and welcome you into ‘The sea glass studio’ upon arrival..


He loves cuddles (of course) and big long snooooozes on his window perch in the sunshine. Whilst we’re busy making away, Rip enjoys hanging out the window watching the birds on the river…


Fun facts, he’s 11 months old and is named after my favourite cowboy in Yellowstone 🤠


Please let me know if you're not comfortable / allergic to dogs and I will arrange day care for him :)
