Theresa Nguyen - Artist Silversmith Workshop Studio

As part of my silversmith residency at Kedleston Hall, the National Trust commissioned two videos produced by filmmaker Ben Wigley. This video is filmed at my workshop studio in the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter. Traditional silversmithing techniques are being demonstrated to show the various stages of the making process to achieve a hand raised silver form.

What a marvelous video! I collect silver and am starting to learn how to make small objects. This was exactly what I hoped to see, the materials, tools necessary to make larger objects! Thank you for this video, absolutely lovely items!

Beautifully made program. The sound of the tools was better than any music. Thank you so much for letting us to see this.🥀

Since learning vessel work in college, I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to source the T stakes I used so I can produce more pieces. But seeing that sizable forms can be created with smaller stakes on extended holders gives me new hope.

Lovely work!  I used to manage a shoppe of Georg Jensen here in Southern California.  The position had it's perks and I was fortunate enough to be able to visit the "Smithy" in Copenhagen, where I learned much from the artisans in making hollowware.  These days, I use stainless steel as my material of preference and leave small hammer marks in my bowls to remind me of Jensen.  I subscribed to your channel because I believe I can learn so much more from you!  Thanks for the video!

Amazing craftsmanship❤️ One extra small thing I would have loved to see was the jewelers bench they’d set up for her at the museum.😮

I really enjoy your love of design and of the material, and how articulate you are about your process. I just purchased a couple of stakes and raised my first tumbler, and appreciate your videos, especially since I haven't seen anyone demonstrate this work in the real three-dimensional world. My tumbler seemed a bit lumpy compared to yours...

Hi there, the smooth surface of the metal is achieved through hammering the surface with a smooth, polished planishing hammer. I hope this is helpful to you.
