From €86 per person
The Drury Street studio is the newly renovated home of this award-winning silversmithing class. You’ll spend around 2 to 2.5 hours learning how to hammer and shape a silver ring from scratch - real sterling silver, real tools, real instruction. Groups stay at 12 or fewer, so you’ll always have someone on hand to guide you through the process.
Nearly 425 reviews and a rating of 4.9 says a lot about how these sessions tend to go. It’s the kind of thing that works brilliantly with a friend or a partner, and it holds up just as well as a solo afternoon in the city.
There’s a second location just two minutes away at 4 South Great Georges Street, D02 NR59. When you book, check which address is on your confirmation. If the team ever needs to move you, they’ll be in touch in advance.
Drury Street is a great base for an afternoon in Dublin’s southside. The street itself is a good mix of independent shops and food spots, and it sits just off South Great Georges Street and a short walk from Grafton Street. Give yourself some time either side of the class to explore the neighbourhood on foot.
The 2 to 2.5 hour window is accurate, not padded. Silversmithing takes concentration and there’s genuine technique involved. The class doesn’t rush you through - you’re learning a real process, which is part of why people come back so enthusiastic about what they made.
Chocolate is included and it’s not a small detail. Working with tools and silver is more mentally absorbing than you’d expect, and the breaks with chocolate punctuate the session nicely. Don’t skip them.
Under-16s are welcome but need a paying adult with them. Both the adult and the young person can make their own ring during the session, so it’s a properly shared experience rather than one person watching the other. Ages 10 and up only - younger children aren’t permitted.
The 4.9 rating across nearly 425 reviews is the kind of consistency that tells you something. It suggests the team running these sessions is genuinely good at what they do. If you’re looking for one hands-on activity to do in Dublin that you’ll actually remember, this is a strong contender.
