We had a great evening with Alex and went home happy with two wonderful rings. Alex explained everything to us step by step and we felt we were in good hands. You can choose between different techniques and ring types and sizes to get a very personal and unique piece of jewelry. We would always recommend the course.

Ausgezeichneter Kurs! Ein sehr schöner Prozess. Gut erklärt und mit allem, was man braucht, um einen unglaublichen Silberring herzustellen. Alex ist eine sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Person, immer bereit zu helfen, damit alles perfekt wird. Absolut empfehlenswert!

From the first contact until well after the appointment, Alex's energy touched me! The space she creates has allowed me to mobilize my self-healing powers. It was my first time experiencing a sound massage - but certainly not my last. I'll be back soon and I'm already looking forward to my favorite tea ❤️

Unglaublich entspannend, ich wollte danach bestimmt eine halbe Stunde lang nicht aufstehen. Atmosphäre, Matte, Klangschalen und andere Klanglemente sehr authentisch und wunderhübsch :)

Alex is a fantastic sound therapist and space holder! I felt so safe that I almost fell asleep during the session. And that is really unusual for me, especially with “strangers.” So a thousand thanks for every second of dropping, from pre-selecting my favorite tea to just the right singing bowl on my stomach! 🤍 It was unique but certainly not my only time!

I took the silversmithing course with Alex and loved it! Together we have forged a personal gift for my friend and the result is really impressive. Alex not only taught us a lot about silversmithing, but also gave us great support in implementing our own ideas. With a lot of patience, expertise and passion, she made the course something very special. A real highlight! Thank you Alex:)

I took a silversmithing course with the wonderful Alex and am completely impressed! The atmosphere was very pleasant, I felt comfortable right from the start. Alex explained with a lot of patience and expertise, so that I found my way around even as a beginner. Her passion for the craft was palpable and contagious. In the end, I was able to take home a great piece of homemade jewelry — I'm really proud of that! Thank you, dear Alex, for the great time and the wonderful experience. I can only warmly recommend the course! 10/10:)

Alex is a super patient and sensitive teacher. It explains very well and leaves plenty of room for your own ideas and creativity. I'm already looking forward to creating my next ring nickname with her and have already given away the silversmithing experience! Thanks!

Alex hat mich großartig angeleitet: von der Auswahl der passenden Ringgröße über die Technik bis hin zu den kleinen Feinschliffen, die meinen Ring wirklich zum Strahlen gebracht haben. Die Atmosphäre war super entspannt und ich habe mich rundum wohlgefühlt. Ich werde ständig auf meinen Ring angesprochen. Dann erzähle ich jedes Mal ganz stolz: „Den habe ich selbst gemacht!“ Ich kann Alex’ Kurs wirklich allen ans Herz legen, die ein besonderes Erlebnis suchen! Und dazu erhält man noch sein eigens wunderschönen Schmuckstück als Erinnerung.

The course with Alex was so nice! We sat together in a very great and private atmosphere and Alex explained everything we needed to know about forging. I made a ring for my boyfriend and he wears it everyday. It was just a great gift and a great experience. While you work, you also have the opportunity to talk privately with Alex on a really great level. It was one of my best experiences in Berlin. I can really recommend this experience to everyone.

Get to know Cotton & Silver

Who am I

I'm Alex and I've lived in Berlin for 8 years.

I began to make my dream of goldsmithing a reality right after moving to Berlin and have been studying regularly in a studio in Neukölln ever since.

About 5 years ago I turned my desk in the living room into a wrought bench and started to introduce my friends to this wonderful hobby.

I am now happy to share the knowledge I have learned and help as many people as possible to create a wonderful, homemade ring.

Where

Enjoy a few hours of handwork in my apartment in Berlin. After we've answered all our questions over KoRo snacks and a cup of tea in the kitchen, it's time to head over to my living room. In addition to a cozy couch, there is currently space for two (and very soon three) people at the workbench.

What are you going to experience with me?

Be a goldsmith for a day and make your first homemade silver ring (925 sterling silver).

I'll show you how to make a wonderful silver ring with a smooth, hammered or matte surface from a piece of raw material.

A few examples on my fingers show you your options.

Group event?

No problem Bring your partner, your two best friends or family and the four of us (3 people + me) create an unforgettable blacksmith experience. We make ourselves comfortable in my creative home with tea (or sparkling wine) and snacks.
