Our Approach
Your jewellery, your way. The concept is simple. The Den share’s their passion and expertise in precious metal fabrication with the general public in a completely hands-on experience. We have the knowledge – you have the ideas! Together we can put them to life.
Concentrating on key fundamentals, we lead you every step of the way while offering an abundance of tips, tricks and education. Our methods, metals and practices are an open book to anyone who wants to read up. Just want the experience? That’s okay too! Our teaching style allows you to follow along step by step in a simple, elegant fashion. Maximize your time with multiple projects or keep it basic, without sacrificing the amazing final project you’ll be creating. Celebrate you. Wear you.
Fashion is about something that comes from within you

The Values
What makes the Den different is our belief in sustaining the artist community. Our talented team members are all various artists and entrepreneurs, our green studio practices and recycled metals keep our world impact at a minimal and our hands-on approach helps everyone to understand their metal jewellery.
Participating as sponsors in many art festivals and donating workshops and made in house pieces to charity fundraisers, we give and feel the love.

Our Story
The Beginning
How did the Den turn from community studio for students to Toronto’s most popular goldsmith learning experience? Quite organically in fact. People were so drawn to the energy in the space that friends and clients started hanging out to watch and learn while their projects were coming to life in the hands of enthusiastic young jewellers.
The Light Bulb
New Generation
Now 6 years later we are sharing our passion and education every week in our hands-on workshops and grown from a one woman team to a team of 9; all here to expand Toronto’s creative scene and keep people trying new things! Join our learn-it-all community and keep the fire lite, literally.
