Private Silversmithing Experience on a Scottish Hill Farm Let me guide you through the wonderful process of silversmithing in this exclusive 3-hour private session, tailored just for you and your family or friends. Together, you'll design and craft your own unique Sterling Silver ring—a piece of jewellery to treasure, made with your own hands. Set against the serene backdrop of a working hill farm in the Scottish countryside, this immersive experience draws inspiration from the natural beauty around you. Whether it’s the rolling hills, wildflowers, or the crisp Highland air, let the landscape spark your creativity as you bring your design to life. Once booked, the session is reserved solely for your group—no other participants, just you and my full attention. With over 30 years of experience in jewellery making, I’ll be there to support you every step of the way—whether you're here for a memorable day out or looking to explore a new hobby. No experience is necessary—just bring your imagination, and leave with a handcrafted silver ring and a story to tell.

Surprise visit to the workshop for my wife’s 60th birthday. Had an amazing afternoon making 3 unique silver rings. Fabulous remote location tucked away in the hills above Balquidder, and made very welcome by Darren - and of course, Joe, the workshop dog. Would highly recommend this workshop if you are looking for something unique, hand crafted, and made by your own hands.

We spent 3 hours with Darren making rings and it was superb. Darren’s knowledge of the whole ring making process and the local area was amazing. We ended up buying a few other pieces for relatives from Darren’s workshop, such was the high quality of the silverware on show. If you are in the area, do yourself a favour and visit Darren and the workshop. Amazing experience.

My wife and I attended this workshop as an anniversary trip to make each other rings. Darren was so knowledgeable and helped us create both keepsakes and memories.

Bought this as a birthday gift for a friend and it was the most amazing experience - surpassing all my expectations. Darren is welcoming, knowledgeable and a fantastic teacher and host. Here explains all the processes when making your ring and is always on hand to help but also makes sure you really do feel you have made your own ring. The three hours for by! I'm already planning a return trip I loved it so much. I can't recommend this workshop highly enough - thank you Darren!
