Vanilla Ink The Smiddy
Aberdeenshire
The Smiddy was converted into a blacksmith in 1902 and is part of Banff’s rich history. It was restored as part of the Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS) to become a centre of excellence for silversmithing and jewellery.
The Smiddy is now the second social enterprise jewellery school in Scotland. The lovely and fully kitted Smiddy workshop was established to provide more opportunities for people to learn jewellery making and silversmithing. The operators are very proud to continue to support and encourage local craft, heritage and skills in the beautiful town of Banff.
For Doors Open Days, Vanilla Ink The Smiddy is delighted to welcome visitors to come along and look around the workshop, find out how they operate and the experiences that they offer. Guests can drop in and look around the gallery and into the workshops to see jewellery and objects being made.
Staff will be more than happy to talk through what they are working on and give insights into the world of working and making with metal.
