Visit the exhibition hosted by Brightlingsea’s very own silversmithing and jewellery school, BENCHSpace! It’s a brilliant chance to see exactly what people learn – from their very first projects in copper all the way to making beautiful, unique pieces in silver.

There’s loads to see, not just from students but also from talented local jewellers. You’ll get to explore all sorts of creative styles and maybe even meet some of the artists. It’s amazing to see just how much variety and skill there is in our community.

And if you spot something you love, you’re in luck—lots of the pieces are for sale! So why not treat yourself to something special, or get a head start on your Christmas shopping?
